Coupons! (Q-pons?)

So I recently figured out that I must have some Northern blood in me.

My husband (and a few others that I know) say "Q-pon." Why do I say it differently? It's not like I was raised up north or anything. "Q-pon" just sounds so southern to me. 

Not like I can talk, I say "pee-can." 

Anyway, here's my 2 CVS shopping trips for the new weekly ad that came out yesterday! Hope you didn't forget to get your 2 Sunday Newspapers :)

If you need to brush up on your basics, check out my first post HERE!

*side note: in the newspaper insert this week, the CVS weekly ad had a SPECIAL 20% all regularly priced items coupon. It was only available in the newspaper weekly ad and not in the ones you find in store. Make sure you cut it out from BOTH weekly ads since we have 2 trips.*

*Also, make sure you always scan your card at the Coupon Printer at CVS or check your ExtraCare Status on their website for coupons. I got a coupon for $3/$15 purchase of Vitamins, $2.50/$12 purchase of Hair Color and $2/$10 purchase of Shampoo/conditioner. I was able to use both for this trip!*

FIRST TRIP

There are many different ways you can do this. It all depends on what you need.
We needed toothpaste. I bought 3 toothpastes marked at $3.99.
Used (1) $2/3 Crest Products MFR Coupon [newspaper insert 6/2]
If you don't have the insert, there are some Crest coupons HERE. But you have to search a little.

After both trips, we got $86.38 worth of stuff for only $28.87! That's a total savings of $57.51 and $5EB for next week!

Keep in mind, a lot of these purchases are also good toward our Beauty Club Enrollment. For every $50 you spend on beauty products, we get $5EB. We have probably accumulated enough for $5EB that we can use next week as well! 

We will also be using those $5EB that were leftover from the Second Trip next week! So hang on to them :)
