The CVS ad is very light this week. However, it is a good week to stock up on things if you are just beginning to coupon.
Remember at CVS, you must have a card. Be sure to check the item sizes to ensure you are getting the product that is on sale. It is important to remember that stocking up doesn't mean leaving the store with a buggy full of stuff. It means leaving with the stuff you need when items are at their lowest prices and using coupons if/when you have them.
If I were just beginning, my scenario would look like this:
Transaction #1 (Because there are not BIG ECB deals, I will get them all in one transaction.)
1 Oral B Indicator toothbrush$1.99
1 12.6 oz Pantene Pro-V Shampoo $3.48
1 12.6 oz Pantene Pro-V Condition $3.48
1 11.6-12.8oz Colgate Advance whitening toothpaste, twin pack $2.99
Use:
$2.00 Oral-B Indicator PG 7/03
$3.00/2 Pantene SS 6/19
$.50/1 Colgate SS7/10
Total due (w/tax): $7.29
Get back ECB's: $5.00 ($1, $2, $2)
Transaction #2
1 Cottonelle Ultra tissue 18pk $8.99
Use:
$.75/1 Cottonelle 12+ SS 7/17
$1.00 ECB
$2.00 ECB
$2.00 ECB
Total due (w/tax): $3.87
Total for all transactions: $11.16
Leave a comment or message me, if you have questions.
Until next time..

This is the real life story of a girl who became a wife and mother and who is trying to seize everyday living under God's grace and by embracing this verse... "fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

* Update* Scenario Ideas and Walgreens
So, after shopping at Walgreens, today, here are how my totals came out. Actually, much better than I estimated. I completed the 3 transactions below just as planned.
Here are the totals:
Total ticket (total savings + total paid)= $50.38
Total saved (with sale prices and coupons/RRs): $32.15 (64%)
Total paid: $18.23
Until next time...
XOXOXO
I taught a coupon class Wednesday night, and it was sooo much fun! I know everyone who came is putting their shopping lists together and getting ready to hit the stores, Sunday! This week I will be shopping at Walgreens. I thought it might be helpful to post my scenario in advance this week.
*Remember* When shopping at Walgreens, you get register rewards (RR's), and you must have the same number of items as you do coupons. RR's count as coupons.
Walgreens 7/17-7/23
Transaction #1
1 32oz Drano $3.50
1 Pledge Spray 9.7-12.5 oz $3.50
1 Schick Disposable Xtreme 3, 4pk $5.99
Use:
$3.00 Schick Xtreme 3 printable coupon
Total due (w/tax): $10.90
Get back RR's: $3.00 ($1, $2)
Transaction #2
2 Dove Men+Care Soap 6pk $6 each
1 Penway 2 pocket folder $.09
Use:
$4.00 Dove Men+Care coupon RP 6/26
$1.00 RR
$2.00 RR
Total due (w/tax): $5.94
Get back RR's: $4.00
Transaction #3
2 Chex Mix 5.5-8.75 oz $1.50 each
1 Pure honey 12oz $2.50 w/ in ad coupon (coupon will come in sale paper on Sunday, if you don't get the paper, yet.. grab the ad when you walk in the door, and tear the coupon out while in the store.)
Use:
.50/2 Chex Mix Reg SS 6/12
$4.00 RR's
Total due (w/tax): $1.39
Total for all transactions: $18.27
In the end, this will be probably be a 40-45% savings trip. Ideally, we want our trips to save us 50-60%. However, in reality, I am getting things I need like Drano, Pledge, and honey and stocking up on things like soap and razors. The important thing is that you get the items your family needs when they are on sale.
Until next time...
