Shopping Trips 10/16 - CVS (money maker!) & Kroger

CVS
OOP: $0.00
Savings of: $53.93

This was my first good CVS trip since late June! I think I have only gone into CVS 2 or 3 times since and I was working on building my ECB. Today I was finally able to start "rolling" again! I originally had grabbed a different Nexxus but realized after checking out it rang up $16.29 (more than I was willing to pay) so I exchanged it for one of the bottles above. The difference between the 2 was $5.09 and they just put that on a gift card. My transaction could have been even better if I had some of the manufacturer coupons to match but I think it still turned out good!

I would love to have around $50.00 in ECB/gift cards going into Black Friday, so after this transaction I am getting closer!

Kroger

I went to Kroger today to pick up some things for dinner and wanted to take advantage of some of the sale items. This wasn't my total purchase so I can't figure up the exact amount saved, but I wanted to share some of the deals available this week. There is currently a General Mills Catalina running - buy 5 select items and earn $5 OYNO. You can ring everything up in the same transaction and receive multiple Catalina's! The princess cookies did not generate the $5 OYNO so I had to go to customer service to get one printed. They didn't have a Catalina machine at CS, so they put $5 on a gift card for me instead
