David went to HT this morning for me, which was a huge help. I had the list and coupons all ready for him. If he hadn't done that, we would have missed out on a lot of deals. Some people who went at 11 am said a lot of things were gone by then.

Total for this picture OOP (out of pocket, for those who are still learning coupon lingo ;)) was $22.40. Before coupons the totals added up to $81.81 making a savings of 73%. We're pretty sure some of the coupons didn't triple like they were supposed to but it's still good and within our budget. I will donate most of the coffee creamers to church for the fellowship time between services.

At Farm Fresh there was a Proctor & Gamble deal where you spend $20 in P&G products and get back a $5 catalina and get 5 free Redbox codes. I was able to do the deal so along with the products shown I also have 5 Redbox codes for free movie rentals.

One cool thing from today was that we were planning on getting the corn chips tonight at FF because they were on sale. Then this afternoon a coupon became available for Mission products. I printed it, not thinking of chips but of using it for tortillas. When we were at the store, David reminded me "Don't you have a coupon for these?" I looked at the coupon and sure enough it said ANY MISSION PRODUCT - including the chips we decided this morning to get. God gave us the coupon this afternoon so we could get them for free!

There are a couple of things you won't want to miss if you have a CVS card. These are simple deals that you don't need any coupons for.


The first is a free 4x6 photo magnet. This will be free after the promotion code if you have it shipped to your CVS and pick it up. I'm not sure how long this deal is good for.

1. Go to this website: http://dealseekingmom.com/photodeals/cvs
2. Search for "Photo magnet"
3. Upload your picture
4. Go to checkout - select "Pick up in store"
5. Enter promotion code FREE4MOM
6. You will have to enter your CVS card number and your credit card, but your credit card is just for verification and will not be charged.
7. You will get an email when your magnet is available to pick up in store.


The second is free sunscreen.

If you buy 2 CVS brand sunscreens this week (end 5/1/10), a $5 ECB will print out. This also works on the small size which is $2.19 each. David and I each got 2 sunscreens so paid $4.40 and got $5 ECB back. We paid mostly with ECBs we already had, so we paid $1.40 out of pocket and got back $10 ECB.

Of course, don't do this deal if you don't already have ECBs and don't need sunscreen, since you will have to pay out of pocket. We were already on the lookout for free sunscreen since we live by the beach.
