Deals of the Day: 03/12/08

I ran to CVS while Gracie was at ballet, and scored some bargains. I'm still getting used to working out the Extra Care Bucks deals, so I was about $4 upside down in my ECB exchange. Additionally, I accidentally broke my glasses into smithereens today, so I wasn't able to read the minuscule font on the shelf tags. That's precisely how I missed the Fructis limit of two (I got 4, hence the $4 ECB difference). Regardless, here's what I got:


3 Garnier Fructis Shampoo/Conditioner
1 Garnier Fructis Hair Putty
2 3pk. Irish Spring Soap Bars
1 Bottle Irish Spring Body Wash
5 Packages Lypsyl Lip Balm

$8.10 Manufacturer's Coupons Used
$27.98 ECBs Spent
$1.98 OOP
$23.98 ECBs Earned for next time
(See, I lost $4.00 because I overlooked the Fructis limit. Oh well, better next time.)

After ballet, Gracie and I stopped at Walgreens. I read about Register Rewards on another website, so I thought I would stop in and attempt to figure that whole deal out. I read the Rebate Booklet and wandered through the store, but I saw nothing in-store regarding Register Rewards. Need to do some more research, apparently. Meanwhile, I stumbled across some pretty good buys with clearance deals in H&B and Frozen Goods:


2 Purell Hand Sanitizer (12 oz) -- Clearanced for $1.00 each, so free after coupons.
1 Sally Hansen Nail Strengthener -- Clearanced for $1.00, so free after coupon.
1 pkg. Cut Rite Wax Paper -- Clearanced for .49 cents. Purchased without coupon.
4 Tombstone Supreme Pizzas -- Clearanced for $1.24 each. Had no coupon. Darn!
5 Jack's Pepperoni Pizzas (like Tombstone) -- Clearanced for .99 each.
7 boxes of Foster Farms (6pk) corndogs -- Clearanced for .74 each. No coupon still.
2 Banquet Chicken Nuggets Meals -- Clearanced for .44 each. No coupon for this either.
6 bags Chex Mix -- On sale BOGO for $1.99. Coupons for .50 off each, so 6/$3.00.
2 tubes Colgate Max Toothpaste -- Clearanced for $1.59. Used .75 off each.

Here's the damage:

$7.50 Manufacturer's Coupons Used
$59.61 Walgreen's Savings
$20.99 OOP (Which is great for 9 pizzas, 42 corndogs, and plenty of Chex Mix as travel snacks for this weekend. My Walgreens experience would have been even better if I had those coupons I normally do. I truly don't know how I'm without. Still, good deals...)
