Shopping trips 1/3 - Staples, CVS & Hobby Lobby


I decided to take advantage of the P&G deal this week at CVS because ALL of my ECB have expired. Although CVS is only 10 minutes away from our new house, it is not in the direction of any other store I shop at...therefore, I am currently working on spending all my ECB  and gift cards and cashing out. I don't want to "blow" them, so I plan to take advantage of whatever deals we need until all my CVS cash is gone. I burned a lot of ECB on this deal yesterday, but it was all things we needed or will need in the next few months so it was worth it!

CVS:
OOP: $0.00 ($1.29 went on a previously earned gift card)
Savings of: $38.84
Earned $10.75 in ECB

Spend $30 on select P&G products and earn $10 ECB
2 Bounty paper towels $5.77 each
 -used $1.00 off 2 coupon that was in a previously purchased Duracell package
2 Head & Shoulders $5.00 each
 -used $1.00 off 2 CVS coupon from the Red Coupon Machine
2 Always Infinity $3.99 each
 -used $1.00 coupon from a previously received sample
 -used $.50 coupon from a previously received sample

Purchase any mars candy item at $.75 and receive $.75 ECB
Peanut M&Ms $.75

 -used $25.48 in ECB
 -put $1.29 on a previously earned gift card



Staples
OOP: $53.35
will receive $52.88 back in Staples Rewards/Rebates

My cashier scanned a $5.00 off $25.00 purchase coupon he had behind the counter, so that reduced my total some. Staples Rewards are based on the AFTER coupon amount and Staples Rebates are not effected by coupons.

I am currently saving up all my Staples Rewards to purchase a Laser Printer because I go through SO much ink!

Deer Park Water $3.00
 -used 20% off any break room item in ad coupon (took off $.60)
(this was $4.49 in store, but my store didn't have the Nestle that was in the ad for $3.00 so they gave me the Deer Park for the $3.00 price)
 -minus $.21 from the $5/$25 coupon
=$2.19

2 Storage Totes $13.99 each
 -minus $2.38 from the $5/$25 coupon
=$25.60 and will receive $25.60 back in Staples Rewards

2 Staples brand photo paper $9.99 each
 -minus $1.72 from the $5/$25 coupon
=$18.26 and will receive $19.98 back in Staples Easy Rebates

Avery Binder $7.99
 -minus $.69 from the $5/$25 coupon
=$7.30 and will receive $7.30 back in Staples Rewards


Hobby Lobby
OOP: $16.80
Savings of: $67.14

I'll be honest...I've never been in a Hobby Lobby before! They currently have 80% off all holiday clearance though, so I HAD to stop in!

The 2 white boxes are 3 foot Christmas trees. Our kids each wanted a tree in their room this year, but I didn't want to pay a lot of them. The 2 trees were $6.00 each after the 80% off!

The purple ornaments and Joy signs were each $11.99 originally, so only $2.40 each after the 80%!
