So far in May I have bought almost no groceries.
Been rather busy, though at Walgreen's and CVS.
During May I've been having a good run at Make-up, Eucerine skin cream and lotions as well as 8 boxes of 200 count Tissues (Hard not to call it Kleenex but it's not that brand!) and other Heath & Beauty things.

Did the P&G deal buy 20 get 20 on Cover Girl / garner Fractos (however its spelled) / Venus at Walgreen's last week.. oh my goodness.

I can give you tips on this weeks buy 15 get 5 Unileaver deal at Walgreen's.
you should keep your eyes open for the bundled pack of 12 oz Dove Shampoo with a free full size conditioner attached. It does ring up at the 3/$10 sale price and counts in the Unileaver deal. (has to be 12 oz size)
There are $1 mfg coupons out for that.
Of course the Dove ProAge bar 2-pack is 2.50 and there is a $2 mfg coupon you can use on that. That also counts in the Unileaver deal.

Last Week CVS I did the peanut deal & one set of the Eucerine deal.

This week at CVS I did 2 seperate orders under my card. Both orders combined totaled around $75 and I spent only around $9 out of pocket.
My orders included the Revelon deal, the Eucerine deal, Visine Tears, CVS 200 count tissues and a 3-pack of CVs paper towels.

*****
Walmart has the 35 count Nextcare Bandages for $1.50 so stopped twice this week and got 10 packages each time with the $1 mfg coupons. $1.50 - $1 = 50¢+ tax per package. 50¢ is the best I can do on those right now. I have more coupons but nobody is having a better sale on these so I'll probably end up with more from Walmart.

I really should figure out a way to buy groceries, but the sales are so terrible lately.

Isn't anyone shopping in May?
I'm still mostly just doing Walgreen's and CVS.
Simply don't seem to be grocery deals around.

So this week:

I've been to Walgreen's and CVS this week...
I think the deals were good, considering what I got for the low out of pocket (oop) cost.

At Walgreen's on Monday:

Quattro 4-packs are on sale 5.99
I used the $4 Shick Intution (also says or quattro) mfg coupon
in combination with the $2 off Quattro IVC (instant value coupon from the May Easy Saver Booklet)
to get the 4-packs of disposable Quattro FREE + tax.
( 5.99 -4 -2 =free)
I got 2, a 4-pack for Women and a blue 4-pack,
I just paid tax
Had no problem at all.

I also picked up a Gal of Milk on sale $1.99


****************

At CVS:

On Monday I got the coffee for the "Kraft Deal" they advertised.
I never noticed before but the small can of Maxwell House Original contains 2 oz more than the French Roast. They didn't have it on the shelf, just a few French Roast so I had to reread the paper to see which actually qualified. I asked the girl to see if they had 8 Original "in back" and they did!

8 of 13 oz cans Maxwell House Original Coffee $20
- 4 off 20 printed coupon
-2 off 10 CRT
-5 ECB
-$1 ECB
-$1 ECB
** it refused to take my second $5 ECB the register read "Coupon limit reached" I didn't argue.
---------------
Subtotal $7.00
No tax on food.
$7 cash oop
I got the $10 ECB back.
Also a new CRT for 2 off 10 printed


I went again yesterday and got Energizer batteries at CVS.

1st order:

When I got out to the car I looked over my receipts and the girl had NOT deducted 2 of the $2 peelies. I remembered she had disagreed about those being scannable. She said already being taken off but I told her she was wrong.. anyway she apparently failed to scan two of them...

Peeves me, but hey I still did mighty good since i seriously needed the "D" batteries!

I WILL watch that clerk much closer from now on.

But I decided to go back in and do the 3rd order (simply cuz its a great deal on the AA) and I stacked that 2 off 10 that expires June 6. I figured she owed me that from missing my peelies earlier. I didn't say anything about it though and she didn't even disagree this time.. she just did it all.

3rd order:
$3.69 - 1 Titanium AA 4-pack
$3.69 - 1 Titanium AA 4-pack
