CVS....GRRRR

So I went early this morning to CVS because I want to take advantage of the Coke deal 4/$12 and needed to get some more ECB. I used the $5/$30 I got emailed to me and purchased a couple Breeze2 Monitors and a Nova monitor and several other things producing Nov. ECB. It has been tough keeping up with all the deals so this week will be a bit blurry.
****
I went to CVS again this evening at 6pm when the registers turn over to Sunday's sales and can you believe they didn't have any Crest ProHealth! Completely messed me up so I won't go into the transaction I did but will post under November CVS totals shortly.
ECB's I have to work with for tomorrow morning at a different CVS are $25.47.
I also returned 2 Colgate toothpaste from this morning because I didn't read the fine print and needed to spend $10, I really didn't need that much kids toothpaste! Weird thing the cashier said she had to keep my reciept, so I am trying to remember what the totals were. Anyway...I will post my scenarios shortly for the morning.

Month in Review


Each Month you can check out my monthly spending progress to the right of the screen.

For the month of October my goal was to stay under $300.00 for groceries(food only). This was the first month I put us on a budget. I spent $299.95 and saved $299.12. I am going to keep my spending limit of $300 for the month of November and try harder to save more.

For the month of October I spent $37.54 at CVS which was $98.01 less than September. I saved $715.06 which was $211.37 more than September.

Overall we have a great stockpile of pretty much everything and I am happy with that.

With the Holidays coming up I have a few family gifts to buy so I will put us on a $100 budget. I am banking on awesome Black Friday Deals to make that happen. I will keep track of this to the right of the screen.

$5 for a Dozen Donuts


Valid Sundays and Mondays in November get a dozen donuts for just $5 plus tax!!

CVS Trip

Everything went as planned although I went to the 24 hour CVS and they had no razors and the guy working said when he got there at 10pm they were gone, so I clarified with him that the sale for Sunday starts at 6pm on Saturday but be careful because things have known not to produce ECB's until later in the evening. So off to the other CVS that opened at 8am. The Manager was pulling up as I did and I asked her is she could please check to see if they were in stock, she was very nice about it and went in and came back out a couple minutes later with a YES!

I took a picture but the memory card wasn't in it and I already put everything away :(

I left with 20 ECB's and blew the ECB's Chris had on his card and got some stuff. I paid $5.55 out of pocket and saved over $150!

And I did found out that the Nova Glucose Monitor is a limit of 3!
