So hear me all, so help me God!

I feel like I am pretty new at couponing {you like how "coupon-ING is a verb, LOL}, but the success that I have had lately is MIND BLOWING!

Stats since I have started couponing at CVS July - Now:

• Saved:   $857.10
• Spent:   $130.78

UNBELIEVABLE!!

 The best part is that I feel confident enough to start passing on what I have learned to my friends an have enjoyed shopping with them.

I feel like that "Coupon Suzie" commercial pleading with everybody I know to start looking for savings.  Now that I have started I will never go back.

SO.....

I vow here and now to never spend full retail for ANY health and beauty products, cleaning supplies or diapers.  

So hear me all, so help me God! 

Here was todays shopping trip....

• Spent: $2.86 out of pocket
• Earned: $20 AMX gift card!! 

I LOVE CVS!!

I love CVS so much that I am naming my next {if any} daughter after it...

I spent $6.18{including tax}and got all this stuff worth $141.07{not including tax}...

PLUS

$11 ECB & $20 AMX gift card!!

To make this deal even sweeter {if possible} I spent over $100 on beauty products {pre-coupon}, so the next time I visit CVS I should get $5 per $50 I spent on beauty products!!  What a money maker!!!  I am so excited!!

If you are not couponing I challange you to pick up next weeks paper and see what you can do.

You should NEVER pay for these items if you keep your eyes open....

1. toothpaste    
2. toothbrushes
3. razors             
4. body wash      
5. diapers           
6. baby wipes     
7. dish soap       
8. deodorant      

If you have any questions feel free to ask...I LOVE sharing my coupon "knowledge". ;)

 Also try visiting this site...Simply CVS...it has been very helpful pointing out good deals.

GOOD LUCK :)

Oh yea....in case you were wondering.....

CVS Free-Bee of the day!

Let me start off by saying I LOVE CVS!

The free-bee of the day is Revlon ColorBurst lip gloss and lipstick.

Here is how it is done....

Use this coupon from a Walgreens Revlon display from today.  (but since it is a Manufacturer Coupon it will still work.)

Split the transaction into 6 transactions.

Transaction 1: Pay $4.49 get $5 ECB back.

Transaction 2-6 use the $5 ECB making the item FREE and a $5 ECB will print out on the bottom of each receipt.  The last transaction will print out your final $5 ECB that you can save for your next "Free-Bee"

I am in the diaper selling business...

Being a stay at home mom and wife I have made it my job to save money any way possible.
I am an avid couponer and bargain shopper, but lately I have also been a diaper deal hunter and seller.

Here is what I do....

After I find my super deal of $3 per pack or less I purchase the diapers and sell them on craigslist.com for $5 each.  So far I have made over $100 profit selling diapers and have amassed at diaper stockpile of my own up until size 3!!!  More than half the diapers that I have sold I got for free using coupons.  It feels so good to be able to earn a little extra doing my favorite things...shopping and saving!!

Huggies diapers are on sale at CVS for 2 for $18....doesn't sound like a deal?

Let me tell you how it is done....

Buy 3 packs at $9 each = $27
Use 3 $3 off coupons from last weeks Smart Source insert = $18
Use a CVS $3 off $15 or more on baby care coupon = $15
I used $9.79 in ECB from a previous purchase = $5.21 + tax
AND
Get $10 ECB on purchace of $25 or more on baby products.

So when I sell them for $5 each on craigslist.com I am making a profit of almost $10 that I get to use on other fun stuff!!!

CVS Free-Bee of the day!

Free! Free! Free!

I have been obsessed with coupons lately, especially CVS.  I live right down the street from CVS and I have made it my personal goal to walk to CVS everyday and today was no exception.  The first thing I do when I walk in the door is scan my CVS card in the red box.  Last week everyday I went I got a $1 off a pack of Orbit gum.  I didn't spend any of these until today.

Here was my deal:

Orbit gum is buy 1 get 1 free at $1.37
--I bought 8 packs of gum and used 5 $1 off coupons = .48 subtotal

Hearshy candy bar is $.99
--I bought 1 bar and used a $.79 CVS red box coupon (even though it said "FREE") = $.20

Big Chill bottled water $1.49 + $.05 bottle tax
--I bought 1 bottle and used $.50 CVS red box coupon = $.99

It looks like my cashier scanned the $.50 coupon twice which was an error but thanks.....

Subtotal: $1.22
Saved : $12.48

Not a bad trip :)

Free Pampers!!

Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Size 1 are on clearance for $2.74 or $5.49 (depending on the location) at CVS!

Being new to couponing I have been reading a lot of blogs on how to make a deal.  CVS is by far my favorite store.  Check out this deal....

When I saw the Pampers on sale at my CVS they were $5.49.  I had a $2 off coupon making them $3.49.  I bought 4 packs.

I had a printed coupon for $5 off $25 precoupon but I was $3.04 short so I went by the printed coupon box and out prints a free pack of U by kotex....that is $1.77 towards the $25....the other coupon was $2 off Gold Emblem popcorn 2.49 each just hitting my $25 mark. :)

In total I spent $10.88 on 

4 Jumbo packs Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Size 1,

1 pack U by Kotex panty liners

1 bag Golden Emblem popcorn

BUT the thing is I don't need diapers.  Sweet sweet has a closet FULL of size 1 diapers.  SO I sold the Pampers on craigslist.com for $5 each making a profit of $10!  WOOT WOOT!!!

After I sold the diapers on craigslist I was so pumped up that I went to the 4 other CVS stores.  I found this deal....

Please notice the subtotal....THATS RIGHT....$0!  I bought 6 packs of diapers for $0 (just $1.17 in taxes)

THATS NOT ALL!!!!  CVS also has a deal going that if you buy 6 jumbo packs get the 7th FREE....SO....out prints an $11 ECB.  I LOVE THIS!  I stopped by 2 other CVS stores and made similar purchaces.  In total I bought 15 packs of diapers and I am selling each pack that I bought for $5.  BIGG BALLIN'
