Cheap Make-up and free candy bar

The deal that started today for the $5 Extracare bucks when you spend $15 on Covergirl ended up being a great deal! I got 3 of the eyeshadows for $3.79 each and one of the eye pencil pack that came with a sharpener that I needed (score!) for $4.19. I had a $5 off $15 make-up purchase from the coupon center, combining that with 2 $3 off 2 Covergirl products coupons. I also snagged a Unreal candy bar that was 75¢ which was offering 75¢ in Extracare bucks back. The Unreal bars are a slightly healthier alternative to the major candy bars like Snickers, Milk Way, and M&Ms. The ingredient label is comprised of words you can pronounce. They are aren't full of a bunch of artificial ingredients, corn syrup, and preservatives. I like that they also don't contain any GMOs. Not exactly health food, but I'm a fan of the healthier alternative to those major brands. I got the "snickers" one and it tasted really good, it didn't last long enough to make the picture. I used $5 in Extracare bucks and only paid 93¢ out of pocket for everything. I saw not to bad for make-up and a candy bar. I added a picture of the receipt so you could see the break down.

Good day shopping

Today at CVS, I spent a total of 18¢ out of pocket. I got 4 bottles of Head and Shoulders and 2 trial size tins of Nivea Soft Creme. The Head and Shoulders is normally priced at $5.99 each, and this week there is was a sale for buy one, get one 50% off, so the second ends up being  $2.99. In the P&G coupons from July 1st there was a buy one, get one free coupon, but at CVS the coupon took of the maximum value ($9.49) off automatically. That made the total -$1.02 with tax ($1.08) it made the total a whopping 6¢! On my next transaction I got the Nivea creme. There was a coupon printing from coupon center for $1 off any Nivea hand and body moisturizer which are 99¢ each. I only paid tax (12¢) for both of them. Plus, to make it even better I got my $1 extra care buck from my green bag tag making the transactions a money maker. 



I love CVS!
