CVSing

Ah, my local CVS. Love it. Some people say there is no point to couponing if you are going to eat healthy. I get what they are saying. Because there are rarely coupons for brown rice and green beans. But there are very few of us who never eat convenience foods, yes even you health food nuts. Admit it, you like Kashi bars and Morningstar Farms black bean burgers. How could you not? They are easy & delicious. The negative is, they are expensive.

So this is the part of my blog that is about budget.

I coupon. I admit it. And there are a ton of coupons for foods I eat all the time and for all my toiletries, etc. Here is what I bought at CVS yesterday. If I had not used coupons, CVS's Extra Care Buck program, and sale prices this stuff would have cost me $122.38. I spent $22.17.

2 Huggies Jumbo Packs
1 Big bag of Huggies Wipes
Colgate MaxFresh toothpaste
2 Schick Intuition Plus shavers
Covergirl mascara
Covergirl/Olay foundation (love this stuff!)
Crest Advanced Seal white strips

I've been wanting those Crest strips for awhile because I love white teeth but they are $45.00 for a 2 week supply. I just don't have the cash to throw around on such things. But this week there was a $10.00 coupon in the paper & you got $10.00 ECB's and I had $22.00 ECB's to spend. So I spent $11.98 on them and got $10.00 back!

Anway, I liked saving $100.00. I liked it a lot. It makes me feel energetic just like eating right does!
