big savings

well, i'm finally getting to posting again:)  last week i made out on some really great deals.  i had said that i didn't want this blog to be like the thousands of others that do coupon match-ups, and i don't...BUT i do want to link you to the site that i refer to 95% of the time, to discover many of the deals that i get!!!

http://www.forthemommas.com/drug-store-deals/cvs/cvs-deals-week-of-130#more-55292

it's called forthemommas and i happened across it last year sometime while i was searching for a site that does coupon match-ups for giant, since that was the store i did most of my shopping.  on this site, you can find match-ups for cvs, riteaid, weis, giant, target, walmart....and many more!  if you haven't visited this site yet, it's worth taking a few minutes to check out!

so last week i got a great deal on U-Kotex pantyliners and tampons.  i got them at weis and ended up only paying $7 for 6 boxes...3 pantyliners and 3 tampons....original prices were about $4.50/box.  this was a combo of coupons, i had 4 $1 off 1 box, coupons plus there was a catalina deal from the manufacturer AND weis.  what is a catalina? you might be asking?  it's the coupons that print from the register, with your receipt...like $1.50 off 3 boxes of cheerios, etc, etc, etc...for me, they're not always worth saving but sometimes i save them because they're just like any other coupon, to be used at that specific store though (i think).   ***sometimes a special deal goes on where you can get a catalina that is a certain $ amount off your next purchase***  these are the ones worth looking for!!!  with the U-kotex products i got, if you bought $20 worth, you got a $7 catalina to use towards your next purchase....PLUS i got an unexpected additional $3 cat from weis.  (the $7 cat was from the manufacturer)  SOOO this gave me $10 off towards my next purchase.  what i did was pay for the kotex products first, then used my $10 off towards the rest of my groceries, in a 2nd transaction.  ARE YOU STILL WITH ME??? :)

ok, well this is just one of many deals that are frequently available...i think 2 weeks ago there was a deal at giant with cereal and catalinas...made for some cheap cereal...i never got there so i'm not sure details BUT just saying that these catalina deals come fairly often at numerous different grocery stores!  all of this info gets posted on the website i linked in this post.

ALL of THAT to say this...while i do come across some amazing/useful deals, i may start posting specific match-ups from time to time so you get the specifics right from here...on how to get involved in those great sale prices.

A GREAT CVS DEAL THIS WEEK is dove deodorant!!!  i haven't done this yet, but plan to...it's spelled out on the above link, under CVS deals.  i think, with coupons and ecbs, it'll work out to either $0.50 or $1.00/ea. for deodorant.  i plan to stock up and buy 4 or 5, if i can :)

well that has to be all for this post, i have children literally climbing on me now:)  happy s-dealing!!!
