Shutterfly 8x8 Photo Albums

Shutterfly has deals for these 8x8 photo albums all of the time. I FINALLY made one!!! We had a photo session on October 20th for Fall, and I just had to create something with them, and this is what I came up with, along with Thanksgiving cards that I ordered through Vistaprint.

I love paper projects!!!

Here's our photo album. It only took like two hours to create. You just have to make sure you have all the pictures on hand that you would like to use. It was so much fun and turned out so wonderful!!! I got the promo code after I made a baby purchase at Food Lion.

CVS Huggies/Scott Deal, Limit TWO!, ends 10/19

Did the Scott/Huggies deal again today for 2nd time and got another $10 ECB's. Seems like you have to get these "limit" deals early or they will disappear before said ending date (like the Tide deal!)

3 Huggies $9.49 ea
2 Palmolive $.99 ea

Total $30.45
less 3 Huggies $2/1 IP's
less $10 ECB's from Crest Deal

$14.45 OOP + tax, get $10 ECB's

So $4.15 ea for the Huggies (got 31ct, 36ct, 40ct) = $.11 per diaper

The deal states limit 1 in the CVS flier for the week, but you can atleast do it TWICE! Get it quickly though because sometimes they cut these deals off before the end date.

Whitney

I am thinking about doing the Huggies/Scott Deal again! Gotta stock up for the new baby coming in February!!

CVS Trip 10/11 - Milk & Coupons!

Hey guys.

I live here, I am telling you.

I went today for the Tide deal but somehow or another it has ended early? The word was that it ended 10/12. Did anyone else wait late and discover that it no longer works?? I talked to store manager and she called her manager and they are saying that it was an old deal. I told her it was unadvertised and a monthly deal. No go. I also tried to confirm with the 1-800 CVS phone number... they said that if it was a store deal and unadvertised, there is nothing they could do  Good thing I was able to do it once, but I wanted atleast 4 more.

Nevertheless, I pulled together this deal since NO TIDE! 

1 Mitchum Deo $1.99
2 Crest 500ml $5.49 ea
1 Total Home 2-ply 4-roll TP $2.77 (needed)
1 Pet Whole Milk Gallon $3.79 (needed)

Total $19.53
less $3/$15 E-mail Q
less $1/1 Mitchum MFR
less 2 Crest $1.50/1 MFR's
less $5 ECB, $2 ECB, $1 ECB

= $4.53 OOP + tax, get $5 ECB's from Crest Deal, $4/$20 CRT also printed (they LOVE giving me these things, and I love spending them!!)
Or $.90 per item.

First time I tried getting milk. The milk did not count toward the $3/$15 Q because it is excluded.

Best,
Whitney

Incredible Tide Deal @ CVS until 10/12!

My son must be tired of me taking him on these trips! LOL. I love couponing. I also met someone offline (not from AFC) and got 3 adorable cloth diapes ~ But, that's another thread .

T1
4 Tide 2x 50oz $5.99 ea = $23.96

Total $23.96
less $4/$20 CRT from Coupon Machine (yesterday)
less $2/1 Tide MFR
less $5/3 Tide MFR
less $10 ECB's from previous Airwick Deal

= $2.96 OOP + tax! Get $5 ECB's  
This means the Tide cost me $.74 each!


T2
4 Mitchum Deodorant $1.99
1 Colgate Total 4.2oz $2.99
1 Crest ProHealth 1L $6.99
1 Crest ProHealth 250 ML $3.79*

less $4/$20 CRT printed at the register after my first transaction! 
less 4 $1/1 Mitchum MFR's
less 1 Colgate $.75/1 IP
less 2 Crest $1/1 IP's*
less $5 ECB's from T1

= $5.98 OOP + tax, get $5 ECb's from Crest, get $1 ECB from Colgate
So about $.85 per item in T2 

* My store was out of the 1 liter's so she let me substitute!

Summary
Before Coupons: $45.69 + tax
After Coupons: $8.94 + tax
Coupons Spent: ($36.75)
Percent Savings: 80%

Received: Still have $8 ECB's left to spend

I had all of the T2 items on my shopping list, but I had to put this transaction together in-store since a $4/$20 coupon printed! I wanted to get more Tide since the limit is 4, but I figured I needed deo more (just beginning to stockpile after my break again).

Best!,
Whitney
