Acutal coupons used -$75.78.  (I had a big razor and deodorant q's)

CVS 25% off full price items -$15.  

Extra Care Bucks rolled from last week -$15.

Don't forget, each week I go to Hip2Save.com and she lists the next weeks sales and applicable coupons.  I am not going to relist them all here because it takes a TON of time.  But here is a link to this weeks list.  If there are printable coupons available she puts a link right in the list.  She also lists what insert coupons are available.

$3.49 colgate toothbrush, used $.50 mq.  Paid $2.99 and earned a $2 ecb.  Made it $.99.  Limit 2, I bought 2.

$3.29 pack of 3 cvs tooth brushes.  (we had a melt down over a lost dentist black toothbrush, I owed this to a certain young man.)  25% q deducted $.82.  With the 2 tooth brushes and these, I also used a $3/$10 oral care q.  With the $4 ecb earned on the 2 colgate, it made all three packs $1.45.

$9.79 Nature Made gummy vitamins, b1g1 free.  Used TWO $2/1 mq's (because at CVS you can use a q on a free item).

$7 Sun Down gummy vitamin (rain check- but these are b1g1 free this week so still a good deal).  Used a $3/1 mq and earned $3 ecb.

$3.99 maybeline mascara (b1g1 50% off)  Used 2 $2 mq's plus a $4/$15 maybeline mcm q's. Paid $3.98 (just realized I wasn't at $15 but the coupon scanned, oops).  Earned $5 ecb wyb $15 beauty items.  I had carry over from last week so I only needed to spend about $10 to get the $5.  Yes, you heard that right, this deal is not resetting each week and your previous spending carries over.

$5.79 Axe shower gel.  -$1 mq, -$1.45 25% cvs q plus -$2.90 50% Axe mcm q.  Made this $.44.  I didn't even realize it was that great of a deal.  Woohoo.

I didn't mean to spend as much out of pocket, but the deals were good so I did.  There is no denying that I have stocked up on some hygiene items and vitamins!
