feels good

i needed some band aids tonight. so......it was the perfect excuse, so this is the deal i put down.
2 dove conditioners (reg $4.99)...2/$6..used 2 $1.50 coupons and i will submit the SCR for $3....this is 2 for $3.00 & FREE after rebate!!!
3 packages stayfree ($4.29 ea)....$1.99 ea...used 3 $2.00 coupons....this was a $.03 overage!!!
2 bottles pantene conditioners (reg $4.99ea)...$4.99 on a BOGO...used 2 $3.00 coupons...that's 2 for $1.01 overage!!!
2 boxes band aids 60ct with neosporin packs!($3.99)....sale $1.99 ea....used two ad coupons for $.50 ea...and 2 $.50 manufacture Q's.... that's 2 boxes for $1.98
retail total is $40.81..........
i paid a total of $3.94 plus $2.04 tax= $5.98oop!!!!

after i submit my rebate and get it back that means i actually paid $2.98 on all this!! that's $.98 without the taxes for all this name brand stuff!!!

I'm so happy that i got to the sale before they were sold out. my list originally had Listerine for 2/$6 as per the ad..... when i was in the store it wasn't all Listerine like the ad would have you think. so i had the cashier take them off all together. so i still didn't get everything i went in for, but i still felt all smug at the checkout...lol. my retail before tax was $40.81, and being as i walked out for $5.98 after taxes i couldn't complain about ish.....lmao

this was at Compton blvd & Long Beach Blvd in Compton, Ca.
usually do OK in this location.

i had to do a do over!

so yesterday i go to get my mail, and theres the latest allyou magazine! now i always get excited about this. im giddy as i set up to give it a look through and as i do, BAM, another BOGO coupon for NYC nail color! so i quickly make a decision to go to CVS for "toilet paper"...lol. heres my freebies.......



these are the NYC in a new york color minute in "east village" and "little italy". there are priced at $1.99. i used the BOGO coupon on the BOGO sale and paid zip!

i had a $4.49 ECB that i forgot the night before, and a $1 ECB from the night before, so i headed back over to the rimmel section.............



this is the rimmel trio eyeshadow in "maritime" it was $5.99 on a BOGO sale.



this is "tempting". on these two i used 2 $1 coupons and paid the rest with ECB's! i had $1.48 in ECB's toward the "emergency TP" that i went out for....lol. my oop was $2.30 plus tax! not bad and DH felt like he got a deal on the TP....lmfao! he didnt realize that the TP was outrageously priced, and i had free make-up 2 days in a row so i didnt care..lol

i licked em good.....

tonight i hit up cvs. my man needed something so i saw the perfect chance to get them good....lol. they are having all kinda BOGO make-up sales this week so this is what i did, i got.....

N.Y.C. was running a BOGO, so i picked up....



its the N.Y.C. smooth mineral loose eye powder kit. i got 2 of these,one in black onyx and one in frosty shimmer (i'll show you later..lol). they were $4.99 each and i used a $5/$10 purchase coupon and they were running the BOGO i told you about! that equals FREE! (actually at cvs this is a $.02 overage, i think)




next i got N.Y.C. in a new york color minute nail polish....



in "manhattan" it was $1.99 on BOGO.


and "Canal Street", like i said, $1.99 on a BOGO. i used a BOGO coupon i had, making them both....FREE!

then i moved on. rimmel was also having a BOGO! so i got...



i got the color shown, "posh peacock" and i also got "royal violet". they were going for $3.99 each! i happened to have a coupon for a free rimmel product! making both free!!!!!








so there you go, $22 worth of make-up for free! you besta believe.....lol.
