On my 2nd trip, had about $7 in ECBs from my first trip. In total, I spent ~$16 but check out what I got for the money:
- 2 gallons of Nursery water
- 2 tubes Colgate Total
- Palmolive
- Mylicon
- 2 boxes Infant Motrin
- 2 boxes Infant Tylenol
- 2 packs of 10 AA batteries
If I had been more organized, I could have saved $5 more with coupons. However, I am not organized at all and when I got to the store, I couldn't find my coupons. I even went back to the car to search for them (they were on my kitchen table) but only found 3. In my frantic search, I locked my stupid keys in the car. GREAT! But, I got such a great deal that I didn't even get that ticked off about it.
Jay made fun of me and said I was wasting money because I didn't need all of that stuff. I disagree... I will eventually use all of the things I bought. Plus, I needed the batteries and the Tylenol right now and just those 2 things would have normally cost me about $16. Right??
Check out this deal too... I am an avid Hudson's shopper. If you don't live in MS, you're seriously missing out. But, I got this Similac Advanced formula for ~$8. I think it was marked $27.50 and it was 70% off. Now, everything at Hudson's isn't always priced the same way it is in the regular stores but I know this is usually at least $25. I bought about 13 cannisters to last me until Lennox is 1 year old! Some of you may question feeding your child formula from a salvage store but the merchandise wasn't smoke damaged, flooded, or crushed and the seals were not broken and the date was not expired. I only bought 2 at first just to test them and make sure they were ok.

That's awesome about the formula from Hudsons. I've checked out my local Dirt Cheap in a while....most all Christmas presents I gave were from Dirt Cheap. Shhhh. And, apparently I am going to have to check out this website about CVS. Thanks for weblink.
I forwarded the link on to Corey. (He's the frugal one in the family)
He's a big fan of Walgreens for their deals.
I went with Lesley to Sam's today...she bought 6 cans of that same formula and paid almost $30 for each can.
Hey Laurin - I read your blog but don't want your coupons.
I'm so glad that you are interested in cloth diapers. This summer I had alot of time on my hands and obsessively read everything I could find on the internet on the topic. My next post about cloth diapers will answer all your answers.
i guess i need to get on the money saving CVS bandwagon! i know so many who do that... go lar!
and way to go on the formula!
we went to hudson's last week and got COLUMBIA brand jackets for the boys for $30-$35! (regular $90-$115)
we were quite pumped - and when it is very cold for the next 5 years, you will see my boys in green warm coats =) (nash will grow into camps and i got them both big!) YAY for hudsons!
I am so intrigued by this! I can't wait to start doing this at CVS too!!
