This was by far my biggest trip I've ever done and so much fun!! One of my CVS transactions came out to $0.00!! So, yes, I took $27.00 worth of stuff out of the store without any money changing hands! I felt like I was stealing! Let's hope the next couple weeks at CVS and Walgreens are as good as this one was!

I didn't have a coupon for the Revlon Illuminator. I've actually always wanted to try it, but wasn't willing to spend the money. Yesterday I found it on clearance at Walgreens!!

Kroger Mega Event!

I experienced the Kroger Mega Event for the first time last night and it was amazing!! There were so many good deals out there! During the Kroger Mega Event you receive $5 off instantly by purchasing 10 participating items. That basically means that each of the items cost $0.50 less than the listed price. Here's a list of what I got!

4 bags of Quaker Rice Snacks
6 boxes of Ronzoni Pasta
2 packages of Kraft Singles
3 Reach Toothbrushes
2 tins of Blue Diamond Almonds
1 box of Cap'n Crunch
2 bags of Boulder Gluten Free BBQ Chips
2 boxes of Pretzels
2 bottles of Nivea for Men Body Wash
8 cans of Nivea for Men Shaving Cream

Total Shelf Cost: $56.35
Total OOP: $12.73
77% Savings

Nathan made the comment the other day that he was running low on shaving cream. It was funny to see the look on his face when he opened the bag with 8 cans!

I Heart Grocery Stores!!

As you know, I do most of my couponing at CVS and Walgreens simply because I've had a hard time finding amazing deals at grocery stores. That has now changed! I have come to the realization that the website I use does not do a very good job of posting grocery store matchups. Last week I discovered a new coupon matchup website that does an amazing job with their grocery store matchups and yesterday I put it to the test. I went to Kroger and here's what I got:

4 packs of Mentos Gum
5 Frozen Pizzas
5 Yakisoba Microwave Meals
4 2-Liter bottles of Sierra Mist
2 2-Liter bottles of Diet Pepsi
6 packages of Carefree Liners
3 rolls of Reach Floss
3 Reach Toothbrushes
6 Listerine PocketPacks

Total Shelf Cost: $39.41
Total OOP: $6.39

It was so easy and fun and I have grown to LOVE double/triple coupon policies! Sometimes I feel like couponing at CVS and Walgreens causes more stress than it's worth because you can have some high OOPs and spending money stresses me out even if I'm saving in the long run. This was completely stress free and incredibly simple! I can't wait until Wednesday's ad so I can try it again!!
