CVS Haul

4I know I am nuts to get back on the CVS merry-go-round...........but I did.

Here is what I got.......

 All but the hair color was an online order to pick-up.  By doing an online order I got an additional 20% off by using their code.

The toothbrush was $1.55.4
The Crest was $1.55
The Chiggerex was $4.66
One of the Cover Girl palettes was $1.96.**They were out of the other Cover Girl palettes I ordered so cancelled that one so I had to buy a different one in the store when I went to pick up my order.
The 2 Tom's of Main toothpaste, one was $2.25 and the other was $2.67.

All this totaled $14.64 after using my $2.02 in ECBs.

I earned back $5 for the 2 Crest/Oral-B items, $2 for the Tom's of Maine and $5 for the Chiggerex.

I told the manager I had to get another eye pallet for the ECB reward so she said she would force print me the $6 ECB in case something went wrong with buying one in a separate  transaction.  The eye palette bought in store cost me .53¢ and another $6 ECB printed out.

Which is good because for some reason I can't link my Ibotta account to my CVS account so I was unable to get $4.00 back on Ibotta for those two Tom's of Maine. 8-(

I  then bought 2 Clairol Touch-up Hair Colors.  I had a BOGO paper coupons which glitched with the CVS digital BOGO Q so both of those were free(just tax).  And I earned $6 in ECBs for buying those.

Now I have $28 in ECBs and .45¢ in 2% back in rewards.  .16¢ in those 2% rewards expire 7/24 but all the ECBs don't expire until 8/9 so I've got some time to either use them on stuff for my brother and sister in-law while in VA or roll them into more ECBs and use those later when I get back to LA for more items to take to the food bank.

As for all I got on this trip-I'll be selling the hair color locally, keeping the Chiggerex and the rest will go to the food bank(except the eye make-up, those will go into a giveaway box).

What deals did you find at the drug stores this week?

Frugal Friday.....the June 21st Edition

There are a few Frugal wins over the past week.

*   Picked up prescriptions at Walmart with no money OOP.  Filling that Humira prescription the first time put me in the Catastrophic category so I pay nothing for medications until the year ends and everything resets.

*  Every PT session I grab a bottle of water from the fridge there.  So free 14 bottles of water so far and counting. 8-)

*  I hit up Walmart on Tuesday after PT........

10 x Cesar wet dog food for $9.80.

2 x G-Fuel drink mix sticks for $13.96

That's $23.76 spent.

I got back $7 on Ibotta, $8.26 worth of points on Shop Kick, $4 on Shopmium, $4 worth of credit on Alexa and $6.98 on VTAGZ for the G-Fuel or $30.24 in cash and credits.

I bought all this at my local Walmart that same day.....

2 x Gatorade Water=$3.36

2 x Beggin' Strips=$6.96

2 x Carefree Pads=$17.46

5 x Dove Hand Soap=$24.85

1 x Colgate Toothpaste=$4.96

1 x Barilla Pasta=$2.52

1 x Soft Scrub Toilet Cubes=$3.77

1 x Soft Scrub Cleaner=$3.27

1 x Dial Body Wash=$3.97

Total....$43.98 after using a free $25 gift card and $7.25 in coupons.

I received back $33.25 Ibotta, $4.12 Shop Kick, $6.00 Shopmium, $3.63 OTC Offer, $5.00 Alexa credit, $4.25 Swag Bucks and $9.50 on Fetch or $65.75 in cash or credits making all this a $21.77 moneymaker.

The pads, pasta, toothpaste and body wash will go to the food bank.

*  Remember that $20 gift card we won at Trivia last week?.....

Well we went back for trivia on Tuesday and the freaking place was closed!  They closed up that day and never notified anyone or even put a sign on the door.  Great!  We win a gift card and now we can't even use it.

So this regional chain only has one location open now so we drove there Wednesday to use the card and play trivia. 

*  So we drove to the bar's other location on Wednesday for trivia and to use this gift card.  This is their last location.  And even though I was scared now to win, we got 3rd place! lol

*  On the way home from the closed bar Tuesday evening, we stopped at CVS so I could use my $5 in ECBs......

2 x Garnier Shampoo on sale=$8.00

1 x Cereal on sale=$1.99

I used a $4/2 Garnier Q and paid with my $5 ECB and .63¢.

I earned back a $2 ECB for the shampoo. Agh, another trip to CVS is on my horizon now. ;-)

This pictured is all bound for the food bank.

*  After PT on Thursday I stopped at where else? Walmart and picked up all this....

1 x Old Spice deo=$12.97

2 x Dove Shampoo=$11.96

2 x Clorox toilet cleaner=$5.36

1 x Crest toothpaste=$8.97

6 x Cesar dog food=$5.88

1 x Bactine liquid bandage=$5.97

2 x Splenda liquid sweetener=$6.99

Total.....$58.10

The only items bought at Kroger were the Splendas, they were BOGO and I got $4.10 from Ibotta(2 x $2 Splenda and a .10¢ any sugar substitute offer).  Plus these were bought on Wednesday got me to my $5 Midweek Bonus.

The rest of the rebates/credits were $22.99 Ibotta(including a $3 Weekend Bonus), $13.34 Shop Kick, $1.50 Shopmium, $4.00 Alexa, $8.50 Swag Bucks, $4.00 TaDa and $2.50 on Fetch.  $60.93 in rebates in total so a $2.83 moneymaker in total on all that.

The deodorant, toothpaste and shampoo will all go to the food bank.

*  As for Kroger and my KCB account...it continues to be a f**king cluster!  The last phone call was with "Charleen" and she can't find the $3.30 from 5/17 or the $12.50  I am owed from 5/19.  She can only see I didn't get a .75¢ KCB offer and put a ticket in.

On Wednesday I get a Korporate form letter from "Mherie Ruth".  After checking with the KCB team it shows that "the offer has already been redeemed on 05/19/2024 with 2 total redemptions".  WTF!  This tells me nothing....no specifics or identifying information.  It's just word salad.  Then she goes on to tell me how to send my KCB to my shopper's card.  I am not an idiot....I know full well how to do that!  That is not the problem.  So I responded in kind and just laid them out as the worthless pieces of sh*t they are.  ALL the items I didn't get back KCB for are going back to the store(except for the Tortilla chips Hubs ate lol)and I am done with this totally dysfunctional operation.  They would rather dance around customers and talk nonsense to them than Fix. Their. System!  This is a major corporation and there is no excuse for offering a system, making a customer jump through hoops to comply with this system and then deny the customer what they are owed.  Ridiculous.

*  I saw a new neurologist this week.  She is on the ball and gave me the thumbs up to fly to VA and try to have that Focused Ultrasound Procedure.  She doubled the amount of meds I was on for ET too as I was severely under medicated for the condition.   I have now transitioned away from that crappy Healthcare System to a new one that is competent.  I am so relieved!

*  I found money!

I found two pennies in Walmart when I went in to return something on Saturday.  1 penny by the CS desk and another by a self-checkout machine.

This penny was found in a different Walmart on Tuesday.

This penny was found in CVS on Tuesday evening by their self-checkout.

This penny was found on the carpet by the vending machines at PT.  I got there early so used the restroom and spied this coin.

And then I found this dime at the Walmart by PT under one of the self-checkout machines.

Total Found last week.... .15¢ 

Grand Total Found this Year.......$5.11 & 5.30 Euros

That's all I got.

Frugal Friday....the May 10th Edition

There are a few Frugal wins over the past week.

*  I did a shop at Kroger and bought this last Friday.....

The $9.99 Kellogg's cereals in back were on clearance for $2.49.  I had $2 Ibotta rebates so they cost .49¢ each.  The Keebler mini crackers were $2.49 or $2.29 after coupons and I am suppose to get back $6 total($2 per box)from KCB, making them .29¢ or .49¢(depending on variety).

I had a Best Customer Q making the Peanut Butter free and I had a Manufacturer Rebate making the Pop Chips free as well.

The Aleve was a clearance find for $6.37, which had a $3 Kroger digital Q and a $3 Ibotta rebate so .37¢ in the end.  The Bob Evans Veggies were $4.99 on sale with Q and I had $2 Ibotta rebates for each, so $2.99 OOP.

The yogurt remix things(Dannon)were$1.50 each and I had a .50¢ off one and a $2 off 4 digital Q so $3.50 for all. I had a Shopmium .50¢ Q for one and a TaDa .50¢ for another one too so $2.50 for all. I believe I had a KCB offer as well but it hasn't been applied to my account. 8-(  KCB has been a hassle for me.

Then I stopped in a different Kroger on Tuesday before the sale ended and bought this........

The 3 boxes of toothpaste were a total of .97¢ after digital Q($5/3)and 3 x $2 Ibotta rebates(headed for the food bank).  The Aleve was more clearance, $3.37 after digital Q and I had a $3 Ibotta rebate so .37¢ after all that.

The Move Free was also a clearance find at $9.80, had a $5 Ibotta rebate and a $5 KCB so it will end up being a .20¢ moneymaker....if the KCB ever works.

*  I hit up Walmart for this.....

3 x Tylenol Extra Strength travel size tubes for $1.88 each.  I got $2 back on Ibotta for each so a .36¢ moneymaker.

*  CVS rewarded me for going in last week by giving me $3 in ECBs expiring Sunday.

So I went there and bought this......

Two boxes of GM cereal on sale for $1.99 each.  I paid $.98 OOP and submitted to Ibotta and got $1.00, making this free cereal.  The Cocoa Puffs will go to the food bank and the Cheerios are staying here.

*  I noticed that none of my KCB offers I did have been applied to my account(since the beginning of April!)so I called to get clarification on a few things.

It's difficult to keep track of KCB since as soon as you use/apply an offer and purchase the item, the offer disappears from your available account and it doesn't show anywhere as pending.  Going forward I'll track what offers I use and when so I can contact CS if they don't show up after 1 week.

The person I spoke to put a courtesy $10 on my Kroger card  but I'll be darned if I won't be calling back on Friday(which will be a week since purchase)to get the $6 in KCB for those crackers bought last Friday. ;-)  

*  We have been using food here and eating leftovers.  No eating out so far this week.

*  I went to PT on Wednesday for my shoulders.  Because of my Medigap Supplement, PT there won't cost me any copays.  Therapist gave me some exercises to do at home and I am doing them. 8-)

*  I found money!  

Last Friday I went to Kroger and used a self-checkout register.

This was in the coin return.....

a Quarter!

Then on Sunday I went to Walmart to pick up Rxs and found this......

A penny while walking on the entrance aisle past the registers in the store.

Then also on Sunday while in CVS to use my free $3 in ECBs they gave me I found these.........

They have one self-checkout register right by the door and next to where they keep the shopping carts.  As I took a shopping cart, I looked down and saw three pennies on the carpeting next to the register.  People really don't like pennies around here I guess.  I was glad to bring them home. ;-)

Total Found last week.... .29¢ 

Grand Total Found this Year.......$4.41 & 5.30 Euros

That's all I got.

Frugal Friday....the November 26th Edition

 Here's what we had happen in the frugal vein around here this past week.....

*  I sold 2 items on eBay!  A set of Wizard of Oz themed playing cards in a tin and 6 tubes of discontinued Nexxus shampoo.

*  I've been pillaging Rite-Aid for the Black Friday sale.  I'll give a total in a few days for it all.  I will say it's not been a stellar BF this year at R-A.  Every store I've gone to has been out of Conair hairbrushes and the big Russell Stover bags of chocolate and most never got any of these items.

*  I got an unexpected giftie from a reader!

An Amazon package arrived last Friday.  I got a set of cat butt fridge magnets to go with my dog butt ones!

*  I returned some items to R-A early in the week and received a cash refund on 4 items and BC back on the 5th item.

*  I found money!

A penny I don't remember where in R-A since it was last weekend.

This nickel was found on Wednesday near the Higi machine in the pharmacy area.

And a penny next to my car in the parking lot at Rite-Aid.

Found This Week... .07¢
Found This Year.....$20.10

*  I hit up CVS last weekend.  I had a free beauty item Q($5 or less)on my card so I got this.

It was $4.99 so nothing out of pocket after that Q.

And then I earned this free ECB for buying it......

That's about it this week.

What frugal wins did you have last week?

Let us know!

Frugal Friday...the July 30th Edition

 Frugal wins here at Chez Sluggy this past week came and went.  Here are the highlights.......

*  The Freeosk machine in Walmart was actually dispensing samples this week.....

Cinnamon mini tarts.  No one has tried them yet so the jury is still out on this product.

*  I found money!

Last Saturday I got a drink at Burger King while I was out pillaging a R-A.  These 3 coins were stuck into the asphalt next to my car at the drivee-thru.  Since the cashier was slow at running my gift card I hopped out of the car and pried them off the driveway.  There were more coins more embedded into the asphalt so next time I'll bring a screwdriver with me! lol

Found this lot around the store at my Rite-Aid and in the foyer there on Monday.

This penny was found on Tuesday at CVS by the register.

Back to R-A for Rx refills on Wednesday and found this lot of coins.

The 3 coins to the left were found again at my R-A on Thursday.  The coin on the right I don't remember where.....Weis maybe or Walmart?  It's been a long week and I can't recall....

Total Found This Week... .32¢

Total Found This Year...$12.78

*  I actually went to CVS(if you saw the penny I got there above)on Tuesday.  I had a freebie digital Q for acetaminophen or ibuprofen but their truck hadn't come in yet this week.

But I did use a $5 off any ice cream digital Q and brought home a pint of my favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor(Cherry Garcia).  It only cost me $1.29.  I'd pay that all day long for this flavor. 8-)))

And speaking of CVS this ECB printed out when I bought the ice cream......

An ECB for THREE CENTS!

Seriously?  What the hell am I suppose to do with that?!?! lolz

*  I've been trying to keep ahead of the cukes and zukes from the garden.

Last Weekend I made pickles.  I need to add more cukes to this jar once we eat these.

And the zukes have made appearances at the table(so far)as tempura spears, in a tomato based dish with lemon pepper chicken and in this......

I had leftover carrot shreds to use up so I shredded 1/3 of a zuke too and threw that into the mixture and voila!....carrot cake.  So moist and full of fruits and veg and nuts it doesn't need frosting.

I see more tempura spears, grilled zuke, a zuke gratin casserole and stuffed zuke waiting in the wings to make their appearances. ;-)

That's about it for the highlights besides some Rite-Aid pillaging(4 cans of Friskies for a $6+ moneymaker? Yes please!).

How was your week?  Any good deals or frugal wins??

Hope y'all have a good weekend!

I Am Finally Free! Bye Bye CVS......

 I still had $4 in ECBs to use by the 14th of this month at CVS.

Hubs and I ran errands near a CVS yesterday so I popped in to get rid of that $4 and I had to purposely buy stuff that didn't give me back ECBs so the CVS merry-go-round would end.

I had gotten 2 different bottled water DQs on the CVS app a few weeks ago but then the weather kept me from going.  The Qs were still there so I got this case of water for free after those Qs. (One Q adjusted down from $1.50 to $1.49 as the water was $2.99 per case.)

Then I looked around quickly for something we could use and didn't already have oodles of and I saw the CVS brand wipes were BOGO50% and I had a $2 off $6 purchase of those DQ.

I didn't maximize things because I was in a hurry so these 3 packs cost me $2.07 OOP w/sales tax after that $2 Q and my $4 ECBs.  85% savings rate is good and I'm ok with what I spent.

But the best thing is I am off the CVS hamster wheel.....woohoo!!!

Sluggy

Frugal Friday 2021......the February 5th Edition

 Here's our frugal wins this past week.......

*  I already posted my Rite-Aid trip......

I spent down my Bonus Cash by $7.51 on this transaction and paid nothing OOP.

*  I spent ALL my Extra Care Bucks at CVS on Thursday and purposely didn't earn any more ECBs!  With Winter heavy upon us I just can't have ECBs hanging over my head(as the CVSs are not in my town and too far to travel in bad weather)so I am now out of the CVS game. (Plus CRTs have been nonexistent on my account too.)

I got a big pack of paper towels for Hubs, a pack of CVS wipes for me, Cheez-It's for Hubs and Ex-College Boy and a Maybelline Baby Lips to put in a giveaway(or keep for myself).  I used all my ECBs plus a $10 CVS gift card I earned some time last year and paid $2.30 OOP(used some of my WAM).  Of course there was a hitch, there was a sign on the shelf that the Cheez-Its were on sale 2/$4 but they rang up $3.19 each, reg. price.  Annoying if this was old signage that wasn't taken down from a previous week and I didn't notice it on my receipt until I got home so I filled out their survey to complain about being "overcharged for the item".  My total should have been Zero OOP after Qs and ECBs so we'll see if I get a reply from them about this issue. 

At any rate, I am now done with CVS for the foreseeable future. 8-)))

*  I hit the discount grocery outlet yesterday since the weather was nice and I was over near there to hit CVS and get my glasses.  No picture of the groceries since they are already put away but here is my receipt..

2.01 lbs. of chicken thighs at .79¢ lb.

3 x Nathan's hot dogs for .39¢ each (1 for Ex-CB)

1 x Shredded Carrots for .79¢

1.84 lbs. cabbage head for .49 lb.

1 bundle of fresh asparagus for $1.29

3 lb. bag of onions for .79¢

1 quart of chocolate milk for $1.89

Total of $8.42

I also got 3 cans of cold brew cappuccino coffee drinks as a freebie there(also for Ex-CB).

*  Speaking of new glasses..........

I picked them up as they are near the CVS I went to.  Pardon my slovenly morning hair.  The exam, frames and lenses cost me $98 total and that is without vision insurance so I am happy with the price.  And the frames are purple of course! lol

*  Two plus days of a Nor'Easter early in the week meant we stayed home half the week.......

The "big storm" dropped just over 18 inches on us and we woke up to an additional 2 inches Friday morning so we are over 20 inches now.  ugh  Talk about adding insult to injury! ;-)  

The forecast keeps changing for the next few days(snow, no snow, lotsa snow)so who knows how much more we'll get here?  But it's suppose to rise above freezing today so we may get some melt-off.  That would be nice.

Being homebound meant less spending or using gas this week so I'll take that as a win. 8-))

*  I found money!

It was a thin week for finds(well duh! I didn't go out much).......

This penny was found at Rite-Aid last Saturday.

And this sad penny was found at P and R Outlet on Thursday while waiting in line at the checkout.  I saw the guy in front of me step on this penny so when we moved up I scooped it up. lol

Found Money This Week... .02¢

Found Money This Year So Far... .40¢

* I almost forgot these two--I had a free birthday burger from Red Robin which expired on Jan. 31st so we went there on Saturday to redeem that.

While we were nearby we also went to Kohl's as I had a $5 Birthday chit to use before the end of January.  I can't show you what I used it on because it's a Christmas gift for a family member but that $5 chit brought the cost down to $1.33 OOP.  It was a $12.50 item that was on clearance(of course). ;-)

That's about it from me this week.

What frugal wins did y'all have for this past week?

Let us know!

CVS Trip on Monday, Multiple Rite-Aid Trips & a Walmart Trip To Finish Ibotta Bonus

I have a Buy 36 items/Get $10 Bonus on Ibotta which runs from 1/7-1/18/21.  I had 9 offers completed going into this week so 27 more to go to get that Bonus.  Spending OOP at this point was the $3.59 OOP at Weis on Friday(plus $7.34 in reg. Ibotta rebates there as well as $23 in rebates from Rite-Aid--Nivea and Nature Made products for which I spent Bonus Cash).
I am at $33.34 earned on Ibotta($30.34 reg. rebates and $3 Weekend Warrior Bonus)since 1/7/21.

Had to spend/roll the ECBs this week.  Here's what I bought........

2 x Nivea Breathable lotion=$16.98
1 x Poise active pads on sale=$5.99
2 x Pop-arazzi nail polish=$5.00
SubTotal.......$27.97

Coupons Used
1 x $5 off $25 purchase CVSQ=$5.00
2 x $3/1 Nivea lotion IPQ=$6.00
1 x $1 off $5 Nivea CRTQ=$1.00
1 x $3/1 Poise DigitalQ=$3.00
Coupon Total......$15.00

$27.97-$15=$12.97+.15¢ tax=$13.12
Paid with $13 in ECBs and .12¢ cash OOP.

I earned back $11 in new ECBs($5 wyb2 Nivea, $2 Poise, $4 Pop-arazzi)so spent the ECBs down by $2.

The Nivea lotion had a $2 Ibotta rebate so 2 bottles earned me $4.00 back there and upped my completed offers to 10 so 26 more to reach the $10 Fresh Start Bonus.  Total OOP now at $7.46 and $37.34 earned on Ibotta.

I went to Rite-Aid near that CVS and bought this using a $10 off $40 Q.......

2 x Working Hands lotion(at Hubs' request)$7.29=$14.38
2 x Big Win Coffee Creamer(at Hubs' request)$3.49=$6.98
2 x Nivea men's body wash on sale=$10.00
3 x Nivea sensitive shave gel 75% off=$3.72
2 x Nivea stubble balm 75% off=$3.98
4 x Carol's Daughter leave-in Conditioner $3.59=$14.36
2 x Baby Ruth on sale=$1.00
SubTotal.....$54.42*

I used a $10 off $40 R-A Q and a $3/2 Nivea body wash ManQ so it was $41.42+ $2.12 sales tax=$43.54 paid for with Bonus Cash.

Except my total shouldn't have been so high.  My 20% Wellness discount didn't come off the regular priced items!*the creamer, lotion and conditioner*

Very strange.....those 3 items should have come to $28.57 instead of $35.72 so a difference of $7.15 +.58¢=$7.73.

I noticed the issue and brought it to the attention of the cashier and manager and  I got a cash refund of $7.73 which went into my refunds/post coupon envelope when I got home.......

I earned back $20 in new BC($3 wyb2 Working Hands, 2 x $3 Nivea men's, 2 x $5 Carol's Daughter items, $1wyb2 candy bars).

The Nivea face items earned me back $9.80 on Ibotta and upped my item count by 2 so 24 items left to buy and $47.14 earned on Ibotta since 1/7/21.

Next day I hit Walmart as I knew I could knocked out a lot of Ibotta rebates(and stack a few with ShopKick too).

That trip didn't go as planned exactly(and I goofed up a bit)but here is what I bought and what rebates it all qualified for......

1 x Breakstone cottage cheese*not pictured*=.75¢
2 x Good Thins=$2.56

2 x Good Thins second rebate=$1.50

1 x big All detergent(my goof)=$2.00

1 x Scorchin hot Pringles=.75¢
1 x big jug of Purex=$1.50
2 x big bags of Hall's cough drops=$3.00
2 x Oreo thins(big packs)=$2.00
1 x Truvia=$1.50
2 x Renuzit cones=.97¢
2 x Swanson broth=$1.00
1x Yes! soup=$1.98
1 x Vaseline Smooth Almond lotion=$1.00
1 x Listerine Flosser=$2.00
1 x Listerine mouth rinse(small bottle)=$1.00
1 x Noxema cream=$1.00
1 x Rolaids antacid=$1.00
1 x Zebra gel pens pack=$1.00
1 x Bic ladies razor*No Ibotta rebate*
1 x Vaseline jelly w/cocoa butter=$1.00
1 x Ducolax=$1.00
1 x St. Ives face scrub=$1.00
1 x any brand acne product(I guess the St. Ives qualified for that)=.10¢

All these regular Ibotta rebates came to $29.61cash back.  There were 22 separate rebates bringing my total up to 34 rebates.  

I also earned a .50¢ Listerine Bonus(2 different Listerine items bought)and a .50¢ Level 1 Bonus so another $1 in Bonuses earned.

The big jug of All was a goof.  The Clean Care white All qualified for 2 rebates totaling $4.50 plus had a $2 All Bonus it would have put you over for by buying this 1 All product so after rebates it was almost free(or free if you also had a coupon for it).  My jug wasn't Clean Care so I only got a $2.00 rebate on it.  It is what it is.

I also had a $3/2 Noxemz/St. Ives/Pond's/Simple digitalQ clipped on Coupon dotcom but it disappeared from my account before I got home with those items to scan the receipt in. meh. 

I could have bought the small packs of Oreo thins but they didn't have the mint variety in that size so I had to spend more on those.  Between these issues and the All goof my total is $9+ higher than I had figured.

I bought the Bic razor because after the ManuQ it was a .78¢ moneymaker that I could put toward what I spent on everything else.

The only freebie above was the Yes! soup(an actual .20¢ moneymaker since it was $1.78 and not the $1.98 Ibotta gave back for buying it).  This store didn't carry or was out of some other freebies so I had to punt.

After coupons used and $30 in free Walmart gift cards I spent $38.33 OOP on all this at Walmart.

Total spending OOP toward the Ibotta Bonus is now $45.79 since 1/7/21 and $77.75 earned back in rebates.

I finished off the Fresh Start Bonus at Rite-Aid yesterday buying this stuff.......

2 x Mybite vitamins(2 different types w/separate rebates)BOGOFree=$10.99

2 x Eucerin Ezcema lotion BOGO50%=$19.48

2 x Colgate advanced toothpaste on sale=$7.98

1 x Big Win tea bags 20% off=$2.63

2 x Simple micellar water clearance=$1.74

2 x Baby Ruth on sale=$1.00

SubTotal.......$43.82

Coupons Used

1 x $10 wys $40 R-AQ=$10.00

2 x $1/1 Mybites peelieQ=$2.00

2 x $3.50/1 Eucerin item IPQ=$7.00

2 x $2/1 In-Ad Colgate RAQ=$4.00

1 x $3/2 Colgate L2CQ=$3.00

Coupon Total.......$26.00

$43.82-$26=$17.82+.49¢ tax=$18.31 paid for with Bonus Cash. 

I also earned back $9 in new BC(2 x $3 Eucerin, 2 x $1 Colgate, $1 Candy Bars). 

The Mybites gave me the last 2 items toward my 36 offers on Ibotta so I earned the $10  Bonus plus th $2 in regular rebates. 8-)

Total spent OOP(not counting any Bonus Cash "spent down")is now $45.79 and Ibotta cash back for regular offers and various bonuses earned on is $89.75.

I also earned 2150 in Kicks on ShopKick for the 4 Vaseline, St. Ives and Noxema items which comes out to $8.60 toward more Walmart gift cards.

I earned $8 in rebates on Checkout51 as well.

I also earned 293 points by scanning my receipts into Fetch Rewards so that's over .20¢ back there too.

Plus I picked up a Larabar at Rite-Aid as there is a Coupons dotcom freebie offer until Saturday.  Submit your receipt and get $2.29 back in a rebate, even if you spend less than that on your bar.

If your R-A carries these they are on sale this week for 99¢ each.

I found one at R-A with a .50¢ freshness sticker so it cost me .49¢(in Bonus Cash, not cash OOP).  I've already gotten my $2.29 refund on it.
