CVS - October 28 2012
Today I made a super-quick trip to CVS to take advantage of the P&G sale before the store ran out of Dawn Hand Renewal.
Regular price: $49.33
Sale price: $34.89
Net cost to me: $9.16
Great price for 3 packs of Pampers and 8 bottles of Dawn!
I had a $5 off $20 baby products CVS coupon from a couple of weeks ago that made this deal better than I originally was thinking it would be!

CVS: September 30, 2012
Today, I got $93 of products at CVS for a net cost of $4.95+tax! And that's with one item ringing up $2 more than marked on the shelf, which I didn't catch until I went home. However, since the Pantene coupons went through no-questions-asked, I'm going to swallow that $2 extra I was charged for the Physician's Formula.
Comments:
For the Physician's Formula, the deal was "Spend $10, get $7 ExtraBucks." Well, I also had a $4 off $12 cosmetics purchase coupon and a $1 off Physician's Formula coupon. I picked an item that was $11.79 (close enough to $12 to use the cpn) with the intent of paying $11.79 - $4 - $1 = $6.79 and getting back $7 ExtraBucks + $1.18 Beauty Club for a nice profit. But the item rang up for $2 more than marked on shelf, meaning I actually paid $13.79 - $4 - $1 = $8.79, getting back $7 EB and $1.38 BC, for a net cost of $0.41. Not bad for bronzer, I guess.
For the Pantene, I had 2 "$1 off 2 Pantene products" coupons and 4 "Buy shampoo, get Conditioner free" coupons. I bought 8 to be able to use all of the coupons (only works if you give the $1/2 before the BOGO). In a bonus, the BOGO coupons were programmed to automatically take off $6.99 instead of prompting the cashier to enter the actual price ($4 in this case). So while I SHOULD have paid $14 for the 8 Pantene products, then get $10 back, I ended up paying $2.04 and getting $10 back. That's a $7.96 profit! PLUS, I'll get 10% back of the sale price via the Beauty Club ($3.20) making this a $11.16 profit!!

Swagbucks - Two Year Anniversary
Today marks the 2 year anniversary of Me and Swagbucks. It's been a
fantastic two years! By using SwagBucks as a place to search the web, watch
SwagbucksTV, print coupons, get special offers, and more, you can win
random amounts of SwagBucks. Then you redeem those for prizes. I've
gotten a TON of free things!
Here is what I've redeemed my SwagBucks for over the past 2 years:
That's $650 in Amazon gift cards over the past 2 years. With that, it's no wonder I've made 110 separate orders from Amazon during that same time frame (Swagbucks didn't pay for ALL of them). I've bought a printer, ink, zillions of books, purses, grocery items, a juicer, baby supplies, gifts for family & friends, and several other items.
Due to my life changes, I do not see myself maintaining the same rate of earnings as I used to with Swagbucks. I have no regrets, though, as when I could, I used it to the fullest!
If you plan to join Swagbucks to earn your own Amazon gift cards, please use my referral link: www.swagbucks.com/refer/
