My First trip was to CVS: listed below is what I got and paid.

(1) Bic Mark It 20ct - 4.14 (50% off) used $3 IP Q found here
(1) Bic Mechanical Pencil 18ct - 2.99 (50% off) used .50 IP Q here
(6) Loreal Vive Shampoo BOGO - 4.99 ea. Used MQ BOGO = FREE
(10) Trident Gum BOGO - 1.49ea Used MQ BOGO = FREE
(1) CVS Makeup remover cloths - 2.99 Used 2.00 CVS Coupon

My Total was $54.96 before any Q's or BOGO's!
After the BOGO's and MQ's I used (1) $4/20 (which actually printed today at the store!!) then I used an ECB for 1.98 which actually dropped my total before taxes to -1.36 WOW!!
My OOP was .36!!! This was a very fun trip.
I got back $6 in ECB's.

The Veet was on a separate transaction. I needed to buy one more to get over the $10 mark and earn $5 in ECB's so I bought this separately on my card the other stuff was with my hubbies card, because he tends to get more Q's than I do. The Veet was $4.41 after $2 IP here and (3) $1 ECB's. I got back 5 ECB's.


NEXT STOP KROGER



This is what I got for this trip and I do plan on going back again Monday, maybe before, because some of the items I have more coupons I would like to use before the sale is over and my Kroger will only double two of the same kind of coupon.
All prices are listed before the Mega Event price.

(2) Tidy Cat 10lb - 2.00ea - (2) 1.00 MQ = 1.00
(2) Clorox Bleach - 1.50ea
(2) Soft Scrub - 2.50ea - (2).50 MQ tripled to 1.50ea = 1.00ea
(2) Advil 24ct - 2.50ea - (2) 2.00 MQ = .50ea
(2) Windex - 2.50ea - (2) .75 MQ = 1.75ea
(2) Pledge - 3.00ea - (2) 1.00 MQ = 2.00ea
(1) Huggies Wipes - 2.64 - (1) .50 MQ tripled to 1.50 (these should have rang up 2.50 but just noticed they did not, even thought they are included in the mega event. However, they did still count toward my total.)
(1) Bagel-fuls - 2.00 - (1) 1.00 MQ = 1.00
(1) Cottonelle - .99 - .25 MQ triple to .75 = .24 (not part of the mega deal)

Total before any MQ's or Mega Event was $52.69

After $10 Mega Event ($5 per ten items) and MQ's my total OOP was:

$20.66!!! Plus the best part is I received (1) $1.50 off my next order for buying 2 Windex and a $2 off your next order for buying 2 Pledge.
I bought 26 items averaging .79/item.

One of my favorite things to do is to garden. I have not really been able to at our new house for several reasons. The first one being we really don't have the yard to do it. Another reason is simply because the space we do have is shaded most of the day.
Well, I am sitting here watching my new favorite channel...Create...and they made this cool Mossy pot on the show Cultivating Life. I thought this is just perfect for me and it will also be fun to do. I love vintage or old looking things and this will be great in my shaded areas. Now I will have to look for clay pots on sale this fall!

A special thanks to CouponAngel at HCW for posting the match ups! I was going to just post the things I thought were great deals but decided to post all of the mega deals. Also on sale is the ground beef for 1.59#, fresh green beans for 1.49# and Eckrich Franks for 1.50ea.

Well my hubby got home from Minnesota and finally got around to fixing my computer tonight. I hope it is not a temporary fix. He said he thinks that it might have been the power supply, but it might also need another fan because it is getting too hot. Anyway, I am back for now!

The 4-H county fair is in full swing and I am so thankful it is coming to an end this year. It seems that this year was a little more hectic than years past, but all in all it has turned out to be a great year.

I am currently having computer problems and will be unable to post new post until next Monday when my DH gets home to fix my computer.
Currently I am at my Mother's house to post this. I hope to see all of you back here next Monday.
If I can get on my computer before then, I will post pictures of the kids projects.
