My trip to CVS today

Around 3PM this Sunday afternoon I was finally ready to head out the door for my CVS Sunday shopping trip. I had with me what coupons I planned on using today and my CVS dollar off CRT with me ready to go.
When I walked in the door I immediately scanned my CVS card and got a 10 off 50.00 CRT and a 4 off 20.00 for food purchases CRT. Needless to say, I changed my plan around a bit to take advantage of both CRTs.
I decided to do the Gas Card deal and got two Cottonelle 8.99 each, 3 Cheerios 2.50 ea, 2 Nature Valley Boxes of Granola Bars 2.50 ea. This totalling about 32.48 allowing me to get the free gas card. Got 2 of the Motts Individual Applesauces and 2 of the Individual Dole Peaches each 2 for 4.00. This allowed me to get the 4 off 20 by purchasing the just over 20.00 of food including my Cheerios and Granola Bars.
I also had my coupons with me for Cottonelle wipes and got three of those, and my Nature Bounty Vit D 3 1000.
I used my two coupons totaling 1.50 for cottonelle, used my three Cottonelle wipes coupons totaling 2.25, also my 1.50 total of Cheerios coupons. Then I had 2coupons for the granola bars totalling 1.50 and 1.00 coupon for Natures Bounty. Of course I used the 10 off 50.00 and the 4 off 20.00 CRTs. I also used my CVS extra care bucks totalling 16.68.
After these were all applied my item total was 12.76 plus tax of 1.39 and the complete total was 14.15.
I got back a 10.00 gas card and two dollars in extra care bucks for purchasing my Vitamin D. So basically besides tax I spent 76 cents after you subtract the gas card and the two dollar extra bucks that I came out ahead with.
The total of all of my products, without coupons came to 50.44 cents. Glad things worked out so well, as I had intended to do the Pepsi extra bucks deal, but switched to food and will go back later this week and get those.
Hopefully I find some more Pepsi coupons by then to make the deal sweeter when I go. If I can come up with two more 75 cent coupons that will allow me to bring home three 12 packs of Pepsi's after extra bucks and coupons for only 4.75. I will also be doing the Edy's and Nestle deal as I have some coupons and they have been requested here at the house. I have two 1.00 Nestle drumstick coupons I got off Facebook recently that I will be using on that deal. That will cost me 10.00 minus three dollars I will get back for extra bucks. So that will be 7.00 and then minus 2.00 on coupons will be 5.00 total for 2 boxes of Drumsticks and one container of Edys. Also will be getting some Scotch packaging tape as I have printed off coupons for 2.00 each and they are B1G1. Although I am not sure of the price on that tape as I failed to look at it today. I will plan on doing the Zantac deal with my 5.00 printed coupon and after extra bucks the cost on that will be 99 cents.
If you are wondering where the coupons came from for all of these deals they are all posted on links that I have clicked on to share on my Facebook.
Was a little upset with the Louisville paper today when it did not have the 75 cent Pepsi coupon in it, but you can't have it all and their paper had way more than Evansville did today, so I will just be thankful for what we got.
If I can be of any help to any of you who would like to purchase these deals at CVS , just let me know. Message me on Facebook or call me after 2PM.
I hope this post will be helpful to all of my coupon friends.
Let me know if you read this post as you will be entered in a drawing for a surprise.

Save A Lot trip today

I was armed with coupons and went to our local Save A Lot food store to buy some of the 1.00 products they are offering this month. Did not end up with much as they were pretty much out of some of the products. Then when I did cash out with what few I had found, they would only let me use one coupon per product. In other words if you purchased say two Butterball Turkey Bacon products you could only use one of your 65 cent coupons. Of course they were out of it anyhow. I have never had this happen to me before up there. Needless to say not much worth wasting my time there if they are going to be like that. I asked them when this started and they said "Oh we don't know, we think they just did this when the sale started. The register will only accept one coupon now per product." They did not even know for sure.

Coffee-Mate Free Flavor Friday Bistro Party #CMFFFParties

Friday February 4th I was lucky enough to be able to have a Coffee-Mate Free Flavor Friday Bistro Party. Several of my friends and family attended. The party started as 4PM and ended just before 1AM.
My attendees were asked to come dressed comfortable such as sweatsuits and PJ's and also house shoes or fuzzy socks. As comfortable as possible. Everyone was in such a good mood, talking, laughing, enjoying each others company and never wanting to leave. So, of course we unable to work in a movie.
We went all out with the Bistro theme. Recipes were from Rachel Ray and Giada. Pasta E Fagioli Soup, Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce, Meatballs and Italian sausages, Lemon Ricotta Muffins, Tiramasu, Heart shaped cupcakes made with Coffee-Mate Caramel Machiatto and Caramel Machiatto Buttercream Icing. We also had Gourmet Oatmeal Cookies. For drinks we had available, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and sodas.
As each person left they were presented with a goody bag with Instant Coffee Packets, Nestle Hot Chocolate packets, chocolate candy and some recipe cards along with their Free Coffee-Mate coupon. I also made them a canned homemade jar of banana butter and wrapped them up in a very nice new red dish cloth tied up with yarn to have on toast when enjoying with their coffee flavored with Coffee-Mate. The two ladies who won the door prizes were totally thrilled! (Recipe Book and Muffin Pan). Elizabeth won the Very NICE Recipe Book from Coffee-Mate and Linda won the Very NICE Wilton Heart Shaped Cupcake pan from Coffee-Mate. My daughter and I can now wear the Apron when cooking as we decided to keep the Very NICE Coffee-Mate Apron.
The Bistro Party was a great success and we are really thankful that Coffee-Mate chose us to have one of the parties! And then sent us a Bistro Party Package filled with samples, nice gifts and FREE Coffee-Mate coupons. It was so much fun and we hope to do another party sometime soon.
We want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, to Nestle Coffee-Mate for giving us this opportunity to have family and friends over to enjoy the wonderful new Coffee-Mate flavors and to have this special time to talk and visit with them.
Also we want to thank all of those who found time in their busy lives to come and spend this special time with us. You are truly the best and most wonderful friends we could have! Lots of Love to each and every one of you!
My daughter took some pictures of some of the food we served and the link is below. Also one of the ladies did not mind if we posted her picture with her door prize.
