Last CVS trip this month....

Ok so I really wasn't planning on going until I learned about the free shampoo. The Vitamin: you pay $6.99 for it but it comes with a rebate on it to try it for FREE. So It had my name all over it LOL. I had a $4 and a $12 ECB coupons so I had to buy more than just the shampoo to use them, I just didn't feel like paying cash. So I flipped threw the flyer there and found the Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitoring System was originally: $59.99 on Sale for: $9.99 with $9.99 ECB back at the end. So tonight I pretty much turned my ECB into cash with the rebate.

Nova Max $9.99 Saved $50.00
Vitamin Shampoo $6.99

Total: $16.98
ECB Used: $16.00
Total OOP w/ Tax: 1.03

Got ECB: $9.99

WHY?

Ok so I've been asked why I would buy things that are not useful to me. Well Some things are money makers. For instance I purchased a box of Just For Men Touch of Gray hair dye (not useful to me at all) BUT I payed $7.99, got $7.99 in ECB and found a rebate to receive $8.00. SO I made $8.00 from that transaction. I plan on donating it to my local senior center. Here are 2 scenarios on when its a deal to buy say Soy Joy bars even if you may not like them.

Scenarios #1 W/O Soy Joy

Transaction #1
Bic Comf 3 $5.99
Coupoon: $2/1

So if you really want to spend an extra $2.44 just so you don't bring home something that is not useful to you than go for it. But I'm here to save you $$. Just donate whatever you don't want to your local church, food pantry or senior center.

Coupon Organization!

Here is how I organize my coupons. This was adopted my many women on blogs I've found. Mine isn't 100% done but I wanted to share.

I purchased this cute binder at Walmart on clearance, from all the school supplies. It zips up, has many pockets including some inside for the weekly fliers, a place for pens and my little scissors. I have the coupons in trading card sleeves. I still need to put in dividers for each of the sections.

Another great tip I found was to use a coupon mat to separate them. I just made my own out of the cardboard that came with the trading card sleeves.
