CVS $5 Scneario - Week of 10/30/11

If your store is busy, the polite thing to do is to pay for a  couple transactions and step aside to let the customers behind you check out.  This not only keeps the other customers happy, but puts less stress on the cashier. 

If you are following my CVS $5 Scenarios, you have $4  ECB to start this week's shopping. 

Take a look more of this week's CVS deals.

UPDATE:  The Aveeno Travel size lotion is not triggering the $7 ECB.  See more info at CVS Field Notes.

What's for Dinner? Papa John's Pizza

Our neighborhood celebrates Halloween the Saturday before the 31st.  I love that Halloween always fall on a weekend in our neighborhood.  It's so much easier.

No only do the kid's trick or treat, but there is also hayrack rides.    My teenage son and some friends are going to man the hayrack stops, so I told him we'll order Papa Johns for him and his friends when they are done.

  • Papa John's Pizza
  • Soda
  • Halloween Candy
What's for dinner at your house tonight?

Post Dispatch Coupon Preview - 10/31/11

Three coupon inserts in this Sunday's St Louis Post-Dispatch I picked up this morning on the newsstand  - SmartSource, Red Plum and P&G.

My husband heads out on Saturday morning to pick be up a Sunday paper for me. Not only did he have to wait for the papers to show up, but everyone in the store was buying a paper for the World Series coverage.  The paper might be harder to finding the paper in stock today.

Here are my favorite coupons. 

SmartSource
  • B2G1 Air Wick Candles
  • $3/2 Aveeno
  • $3/2 Air Wick Candles  
  • $1/1 McCain Purely Potatoes
  • $1/1 Splenda
  • $1/1 Cat Pride Litter
  • $0.75/1 Tombstone Double Top Pizza
  • $0.50/1 Colgate Toothpaste
  • + $119 worth of Target Coupons for P&G products
Red Plum
  • $1/1 Carmex Healing Skin Care
  • $1/1 Garnier Frucits Shampoo or Conditioner
  • $1/1 Garnier Fructis Style Product
  • $1/1 Nivea for Women Body Wash
  • $1/1 Nivea for Men Body Wash
  • $0.50/1 Coffee-Mate Liquid Creamer
  • $0.30/1 Carmex Lip Balm
P&G
  • B1G1 Old Spice Body Wash

  • $1/1 Herbal Essences or Aussie Product
  • $1/1 Tampax Pearl
  • $1/1 Always Infinity
  • $1/1 Crest
  • $0.50/1 Dawn

Remember: You want multiple coupons to use when a product is at a rock bottom price. When it's a good coupon insert week, I purchase 4 or 5 papers and sometimes acquire more. At first, I thought it was crazy to spend money to save money. But I've always saved much more than my investment.

$1.50 off Mars Halloween Candy Coupon

If you still have Halloween candy to purchase, make sure you print this coupon. 

$1.50/1 Mars Product (9.4 oz. + bag) printable coupon

I found it under the food tab with no zip code entered.

My $50 Budget - Saved 59% This Week

My $50 didn't go very far this week. The good deals were few & far between, but I was able to stock up on some more meat.


Two trips to Schnucks this week. Once last Sunday, to pick up Ziplocs and Chicken, and then again on Friday to pick up Jimmy Dean Sausage.  $1 a box for Ziploc's is not the best price I've ever seen, but I was all but out, and I'm not sure that won't be the best price we see on Ziplocs this year.

Before sales & coupons:  $76.79
Spent:  $30.64
Saved:  46.15 for 60%


$1.50 after coupon was a good price for the Marzetti Dip.   I also had $1 off fruit coupons when you buy Marzetti Dip. Those $1 off fruit coupons didn't go very far.

Before sales & coupons: $23.13
Spent: $8.26
Saved: $14.87 for 64%


Comparable Schnucks price: $19.44

What's for Dinner? Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches


Good hamburger buns are one or the products I will pay full price for.  I picked up Schnucks buns over the weekend and cooked a Pork Tenderloin on Sunday, so sandwiches it is for tonight. 

Meat leftovers are a rarity at our house.  My husband and teenage soon would eat only meat (and snack food) if they could.  I cut the pork tenderloin in two before I sliced it on Sunday and hid half  - that was the only way I was going to make two meals out of the tenderloin.

What's for dinner at your house tonight?

If you haven't shopped at Aldi, or it has been awhile:
1. Make sure you have a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. The carts are like luggage carts at the airport. You rent them for a quarter, and you get your quarter back when you return the cart.
2. Take your own bags. Aldi does not provide free bags for your groceries.
3. Aldis now accepts debit cards.
4. Aldis does not accept coupons

If you buy something at Aldi you are not please with, they have a double guarantee. If for any reason, you are not 100% satisfied with any product, they will replace the product AND refund your money. More info HERE.
