The Challenge of Keeping Kids Brains Active During the Summer

I've been invited to try Time4Learning's online curriculum in exchange for an honest review. My opinion will be entirely my own, so come back and read about my experience! Learn how to use it for homeschool, as an afterschool study program or for summer learning.

CVS & Walmart - 11/10

Can anyone say CLEAN HANDS? Look at all these FUN goodies :) You wont believe the massive amount of savings.. Just scroll down.. 

CVS has Arm & Hammer on sale for $2.99, get $1.00 in ECB which is just like a dollar off coupon, except you can use it on any item! This broke down to $1.99. I used my CVS gift card I received from last time (previous post has details) and got this for FREE!! It has 32 loads & is for sensitive skin, extra 7 loads for the same price.. YAHOO! I originally went in for the softsoap deal, but they were out!!

Walmart price matches, which I love! They have a bigger variety & bigger quantities! I like to go to the store that has the sale going BUT if they have cleared shelves, I just head to Walmart & usually they have the item in stock :) 

Here is the break down of the rest of the picture. This was at Walmart, you can do this until Saturday at 11:59 pm. 

CVS has Softsoap 8.5 - 9.5 oz bottles of hand soap on sale for 99 cent! Yes, you heard that right, 99 cent!! These were $2.12 each at Walmart, but they price matched my CVS deal, so they were 99 cent a bottle.

Scope was $2.97, we needed it anyway :)

Old Spice Body Wash (Trial Size) - 97 cent

Head & Shoulders (Trial Size) - 97 cent

The BREAKDOWN!!

* 24 bottles of hand soap. I did 2 different transactions since you can only use 4 like coupons per transaction. 

So I used 8 x $2.00 off any 2 Softsoap 8 oz or larger,

8 x 75 cent off Softsoap 8 oz or larger,

1 x 75 cent off Scope 750ml or larger, 

1 x $1.00 off Old Spice Body Wash

1 x $1.00 off Head & Shoulders

Totals:

Before Coupons/ECB = $58.78

After Coupons/ECB/Gift Card = $3.00

Savings of 95%

This was my most exciting trip yet!!

CVS/Walmart Trip - 11/2/11

My trip to CVS & Walmart 11/2/11

* 8 packages of Charmin toilet paper

* 1 package of Bounty paper towels

* 3 bottles of Gain laundry detergent

* 2 bottles of Clorox Bleach

* 2 Clorox 2 stain fighter pens

CVS was running a deal where you spend $30.00 on select products, receive a $10.00 gift. Each card was able to receive 5 of these gift cards within the week's period of time. I have a hard time finding good deals on paper products (I wanted the Gain to be paper towels, but you can never have enough laundry soap!). Anyway, I took advantage & did 2 separate transactions. I had coupons for the Charmin, Bounty & Gain. I paid less about $3.33 each for Charmin, Bounty & Gain, which is a STEAL as each were priced over $8.00 before going "on sale" for $6.00!

The Clorox deal I got at Walmart. There was a printable coupon which stated "Buy 1 Clorox product, receive $2.00 off a Clorox 2 product", or something along those lines ;) Anyway, The Clorox bleach are the small bottles, $1.22 each. The stain fighter pens are $2.76 each. This makes each of these items less than $1.00 each!! That is crazy, coupons are such a blessing!!

It may not seem like I saved a TON of money, BUT every little bit counts & just takes a few minutes, to print/cut/organize/shop & SAVE money! If you haven't started couponing yet, you need too!!
