CVS Deals of the Week 8/31-9/6

I skipped going to CVS last week. There just weren't any deals to draw me in. This week, however, I saw some items I could use so off I went. I only had $5 ECBs and my OOP was higher this week than it normally is, however I earned quite a few ECBs for future use.

Here's the breakdown:

1 Sudacare Shower Tabs $1.25(clearance 75% off)

4 Suave Body Wash $8

2 Dawn Ultra $1.98

2 Colgate Total $5.98

1 BC Headache Powder $1.29

1 Covergirl Wetslicks $5.99

2 Johnson's Buddies Soaps $2.38

Qs Used

50 cents off Dawn

$1 off Colgate Total

B1G1 Suave Body Wash

B1G1 Suave Body Wash

$5 ECBs

Total OOP $14.18

Total ECBs $13.28

I really messed this one up too. I went in planning to use the B1G1 Cover Girl lip product for the wetslicks. They would not accept it and I didn't have my $1 off CG product Q with me since it never occured to me they wouldn't accept the B1G1 Q. I know I could have had a lower OOP by doing multiple transactions but that's not something I'm comfortable doing at this point. Oh, well, this is a learning process for me.

Menu Planning Monday

One of the best ways to save money is to plan out your menu for the week so you won't be tempted to run through a drive thru or order take out. Both are big budget busters. I plan my menu based on items I already have on hand and things I know are on sale that week. Here's my menu for this week:



Monday: Grilled Turkey Burgers & Tater Tots

Tuesday: Teriyaki Stir Fry Pork & Veggies w/ brown rice

Wednesday: Creamy Chicken & Rice w/ raw veggies on the side

Thursday: Pasta Marinara & salad

Friday: Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches, Turkey Joes, Veggie Pasta Salad & chips(We have family coming in for a weekend visit.)

Saturday: Eat out or grill out(still need to discuss plans with the visiting family)

Sunday: Leftovers
