The Kmart deals yesterday were just the boost I needed to get energized about this again. I had great trips at CVS, Walgreen’s and Peebles. I also finally got around to sorting some receipts I had in a drawer and I am due $12 from Caregiver’s Marketplace in Huggies rebates (I’m getting back $12 for diapers I’ve never paid for!), plus a free big box of Crayons from Frigo cheese. I love a good bargaining day, and this has been a great bargaining 2 days.

Total: $2.18; deals good thru Saturday. No, I didn’t need toothbrushes or toothpaste, but it always seems all the deals are Colgate which we don’t like. So now I’m going to give away the free Colgate I have and keep the Crest.

CVS-same transaction on both cards. I know, I just posted I wasn’t going to go there, but I was already at the Walgreen’s on 41, so I figured why not.

Subtotal
$18.xx, then 13.xx after coupons, after using $ 12.79 in ECBs that I already had–final balance was $3.03, used Rx transfer gift card to pay that.
Earned ECBs: $4.00 Soleil, $4.98 Always, $2.29 Vitamin water, $2.00 Colgate, so 11.79 ecbs spent, 13.27 earned. Deals good thru Saturday. The pretzel coupon came from scanning my card under the in-store scanners, be sure to hit them! Both the Landenberg and Kennett stores have one, near the magazines. Jennersville does not have one yet.

Peebles:
I found several cute shirts for Kevin on the clearance rack, $3 each or so. I also found 2 items I planned to give as xmas gifts, so I don’t want to say what they are. They were regularly priced items with 30% off. When I went to pay, the cashier said if I opened a Peebles charge today, I would get another 25% off 2 items and 10% off my entire order. Plus I had my 15% internet printable. So my two xmas gift were regularly priced, minus 30%, minus 25% off that, then another 10% then another 15%. The three clearanced shirts for Kevin were already clearanced to $3.60, minus 10% and minus 15%. When all was said & done, I had planned on paying about $60 for my items and it came to $36. Cashier did not know how long this deal would last. I don’t normally do this–get credit cards at stores. But I am starting to like Peebles more & more, and it’s close, and I have heard that they send out coupons to cardholders frequently, which may help me with the holidays coming.
