CVS deals for June 8

!I ended up making a quick stop at CVS as I did errands this morning.  I haven't been shopping there much as we are pretty stocked up on most things so I had no EXtra Care Bucks from previous purchases to use but I did have some good coupons.

For the vitamins, I used $4 coupons from Sunday's  newspaper and a CVS red box coupon for $2 off any vitamins,

The Loreal travel size hair products give a $4 ECB

The 4 pack of Colgate each give $3 ECB and I had a CVS 30% off dental 

I used a CVS $3 and manufacturer $1 coupons on the Excedrin

The Huggies were B1G150%off and I had a CVS 5/$35 diapers, $3CVS Huggies and 4 $3 Huggies coupons from pickupthesavings.com 

Also the Huggies gave a $10 cash card

The gold emblem nuts were free and are a deal anyone with a coupon printing computer can do.  Go to the cvs.com site, look under deals and coupons, and then print off the Gold Emblem coupons. There are several for $1 and $2/2.  

I spent $35 and got back $20 to use on my next CVS round of deals. 

My advice about CVS is to be sure to have a CVS rewards card, always scan it when you go there, register that card at CVS.com and sign up for Beauty rewards and the prescription rewards if you fill scripts there. Look on Facebook for a CVS group and watch LASavings8 on YouTube.  See the future CVS ads on iheartcvs.com 

Don't let it overwhelm you, I don't try to do every deal - just buy what you need and have fun!

Monday to do list

Good morning! I back with a prettied up list.   Are you working on a list? I'd love to see it.

I used some colored ink pens, they didn't photograph as bright as they look in person.

Images are all made with rubber stamps, colored with map pencils.

I rarely buy rubber stamps but when I saw this shopping lady for 25 cents at my favorite thrift store, I bought her.  I think her hair and shoes are both a hoot!

Yard sales and CVS bargains

I went to 2 neighborhood yard sales this morning with my brother and son.  We found some goodies! 

These vintage Fisher Price toys were $2

Legos - 3 gallon bags and 1 sheet- $5 for all

Storage tub was $3- packed full with 3 brand new color books, some trucks, a big gator and about a dozen transformer toys 

Gallon bag full of magnetic letters .50

Thomas the Train set $2

Just a few children's clothes-  assorted prices from different places, I think some were 50 cents and some were $1 - I looked at lots of clothes today, too many were stained- I only bought ones that were in excellent condition 

Set of Wilton tips $1 

Jar was 25 cents

Makeup bag was 25 cents

Pottery Barn children's plates were $1 each - probably my worst deal of the day but I like them and I know my grandchildren will like them too.  One of the grands is especially particular about their food not being mixed up.  

Board books $1 each - both have those 3 D pictures in them that make it seem like the animals and vehicles in them are moving.  They were both like new- makes me wonder why the first owners never read them.  

Pampered Chef mixing pitcher 25 cents!  I was wanting one of these as I am following the Trim Healthy Mama plan and wanted one to mix up big batches of GGMS. 

Little Tikes basketball goal - 25 cents!  I was looking for one of these too and never imagined I would find a good one for such a tiny price.  

My brothers pile - books, rugs, photo frames, and a CD. 

My sons pile - pretty clear drinking glasses, a book, a t shirt, a leather document bag

My son got the large tray for $1 

 Carhart overalls for $1 - my husband said new ones retail for $90 or so.  They are in very good condition, just need laundered.  

We saw lots of other good deals today that we didn't buy as we didn't need them.

I've been accumulating a discard pile and had been considering having a sale on our neighborhood-wide day.  But today's prices convinced me that I don't want too.  Yard sales are a lot of work for not much profit, at least that it how it seems in our town,  

So I am pretty sure I will be donating our pile to our favorite thrift store.  

CVS deals - just one trip this week

With coupons and $10 extra care bucks,  all this was $10.30.  

Thank you all so much for the sweet comments about our latest grandson.  He is doing just fine and is just as sweet as he looks. 

I've accomplished several jobs around my home that make life easier and me happier. 

I hope to be back blogging on a regular basis soon.
