This is going to be a short post, with no images…mainly because we spent most of Saturday night in the emergency room, and that’s when I usually get all of this together for Sunday’s post. More on the emergency room drama later, but for now, here is how we did this week. Keep in mind that it was also a slim budget week.

I think I’m going to have to start going to another CVS, because the one closest to us is pretty small, and has a terrible selection of diapers. They never have both sizes that I need. And when I go in and they don’t have something on my list, it screws everything up. I had everything set up to do multiple orders, and they didn’t have one of the main ECB items I intended to get in my first order, which threw everything else off. Grr.
So, here’s what I ended up with:
8 items
Coupons:
$1 off 2 20oz. vitamin waters mfr coupon
$.75 off 6pk of soap mfr coupon
$2 off diapers mfr coupon
$1 off 1 toothbrush mfr coupon
$1 off 2 toothbrushes mfr coupon
$5 off $25 purchase CVS coupon
$10 CVS Extra Care Bucks (ECB) redeemed
TOTAL SPENT: 17.56
TOTAL SAVED: 36.64
ECB earned: 3
I saved 68%, which was cool, but I hated using so many ECB and not even getting half of that number back. But, like I said, they didn’t have everything I needed to make my plan work correctly.

And that was it for the week. Yeah, pretty quiet this week. But, next week, there are a lot of deals that I’m interested in, so we’ll see how that goes.
