My Binder of Savings.....LOL

Here is my binder..
organized by category...  Happy Savings.

Covergirl Coupon

This weeks PG Insert had a awesome  8.00 off two covergirl face products.
Eyeshadow is 3.99each at CVS.  Get two for free but add in a small filler under .50 to cover the overage. I paid 2.82 (taxes for 6 of them and a tool kit. ).
You can also get blush. they are currently Buy one get one 50%. I priced check them one is 5.29 , second is 2.64 . Free
I recommend getting them at CVS since they will count toward your beauty club amount for ECB's.
If you haven't caught the savings bug I don't know what stopping you now.

CVS Sale - Dove Products.

 If you received the RP Insert this weekend with the various hair products on the front.

Here is a sale idea if your up to it.  I regularly shop at CVS and rotate their ECB's. But here is something to get your started if you have not tried CVS.

My 1st suggestion is if you don't already have one sign up for the Extra Care Card, buy a green tag for your own reusable bag.  For every 4th scan of your leaf you receive 1ECB. So not only will you be saving the earth but saving you some money.  :) also sign up for the Beauty Club(look for slips near makeup) for every 50.00 you spend you receive 5.00 ECB. 
Even if you use a coupon on a beauty product it will record you spending at full price.  Also note that Beauty does not only apply to makeup, it includes a variety of items.

They are currently running a  Spend 15.00 get  5.00 ECB for Dove or Lever Products. Till Saturday

Ok if you got three inserts, you should have 3 BOGO Q for Dove Hair Care Products.
Therefore,
6 Bottles of Shampoo and/or Conditioner  would cost you OOP around 9.50
But you will receive 5.00 ECB Back.

If you only have one insert, here is another possible way to use it.
Buy 2 Dove Shampoo and/or Conditioner 6.00 - 3.00 BOGO Q
1 Dove Mens Body Wash 5.00 - 1.00 Q
1 Dove Woman Body Wash  6.00 - 1.00 Q
Total OOP  around 12.50 receive  5.00 ECB for future use.  

You might say ouch that's quite a bit, but remember you have to start somehow to start rotating those ECB's. 

I am actually going to do this sale for my other family members as my stock pile is full.  I will post a pic later.  It will be new card, their own money LOL.
Happy Saving!

Here is my target trip this weekend, I had been saving up some Target Revlon coupons for 5.00 off 2 and  Manufacturer Revlon  Coupons for a $1.00 off one.  This is a stacking example. I was able to use one target Q and 2 Manufacturer Q..
No I don't need all these items, but they will be very useful as fillers for gifts.
