Is It Monday Already?: My CVS Run and.......A Giveaway!!!

My CVS Run and.......A Giveaway!!!

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 |

Posted by Lisa P@www.isitmondayalready.com |

Yesterday was my weekly CVS run. I am pretty much on a spending lock down so I can pull money out of my butt for uncle Sam. I have limited myself to about 5.00 per week OOP at CVS and this includes necessities. One of these days I will post a picture of my little stockpiles. I love stockpiling because these are the times when you need them. It is my belief that you should always have at least one months supply on hand of basic necessities IE, laundry detergent, toothpaste, TP, Soap, deodorant etc. My little trip reflected my budget! I choose to go to a store that was close to my Cardiologist's office to see their layout, nice store. I finally saw the trial size Crest white strips that every one is always talking about so next time that coupon comes out I know where I am going! Here is the run down of my little trip.

Purchased:

1 gallon milk 2.99

(2) Sally Hansen nail polish B1G1 50% off 7.03

Fusion Gamer razor 7.99

Coupons used:

3.00/2 Sally Hansen Q(RIB book from CVS)

4.00 fusion razor

2.00 cosmetic Q (from scanner)

4.00 ECB

Total OOP 5.74 Received 4.00 ECB net 1.74 spent! Not bad but If I would have had my Q's with me I had a 1.00 Sally Hansen Q that I could have used to sweeten the deal! I wanted to find the Renuzit triscents but they did not have them it would have been a MM.

Ok do key, now I'm sure you want to know about the giveaway huh? Well since I am such a CVS addict and I get a lot of great deals, I think I will put together a nice little package of my finds just for you! What will it include? It will include any or all of the following: Cosmetic's, razors, Healthy and beauty items ie lotion, facial cleansers etc. Perhaps some items to pamper yourself with! All I can guarantee(because I have yet to get these items together) is that it will be a nice little package that I myself would love to receive! Because of the nature of the items I can only ship to a US address . The contest will run until Tuesday 3/3 at 8AM MT. I will use a random number generator to pick a winning comment. You do not need to have a blog to win but PLEASE make sure I have a way to contact you, If your blogger profile is not public and you do not leave your email in your comment, I will have to pick another winner.

Ok here's what you need to do to enter. Leave me a comment below and let me know when you have been broker then a joker what did you do as not to go stir crazy at home?

Jenn in AZ said...: Hi..found you with a google blog search about CVS savings!! So, we would go to KFC 10 or 15 minutes before they closed and see what kind of deal they would give us for the chicken they had left! Also, played board games and had read alouds with the kids (haven't delved that far into your blog to see if this applies!)...we read the Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit (etc.), The Secret Garden...lots of fun. Had people over for a potluck. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!; February 24, 2009 at 9:45 AM

5webs said...: The library has been a godsend for this family. Ours has first run movies, just-released books, and every magazine that you can think of. My husband and I take two huge duffle bags and load up every two weeks, and it is all FREE, FREE, FREE! Also, my kids get to watch new movies all the time, which they love, since we don't have cable.; February 24, 2009 at 10:05 AM
Rita M said...: We take advantage of Netflix & TiVo and do our movie watching at home. The popcorn doesn't taste quite the same and we don't have a fancy surround sound system so the special effects aren't quite the same, but it does save us a lot of money.; February 24, 2009 at 10:20 AM
Proud Wife of a U.S. Soldier said...: Hubby & I have been putting back money like CRAZY to save for the house we just bought.

So when he's home (he's currently in Iraq) we woukd watch movies from our collection, make some jello (cheap) & scrounge up whatever we could make.; February 24, 2009 at 10:58 AM

traymona said...: I have friend and family get togethers and grillouts and it's BYOE. (Bring Your Own Everything.) Nobody seems to mind. They're as broke as I am. We just like being together, broke or not. We have a boat for taking out on the river but it sat in the yard all of last year, (and most likely this year, as well), because we couldn't afford the gas for the van to tow the boat or the gas for the boat itself.Maybe I ought to pull the boat into the backyard and we can sit in it and ACT like we're on the water. After a couple of cocktails, we might actually forget we're on dry land. And if anyone fell overboard, at least they woiuldn't drown.
traymona[at]aol.com; February 24, 2009 at 12:56 PM
KR312 said...: Used to eat out several times a week. Now, we do all meals at home and hubby is becoming quite the cook. Eliminated cocktails on the beach which was an every weekend kind of thing. Basically, we stay home, clean the house, take care of the yard and then GO TO SLEEP. No more going out and partying the night away.; February 24, 2009 at 1:00 PM

tutugirl said...: Ok, this goes way back to my college days but we used to sell our plasma so that we could go out. I could sit and do my studying while they had me hooked up and then I was set to go out afterwards. Nowadays, we'll just rent movies and pop popcorn. I prefer the later.; February 24, 2009 at 2:08 PM
CAmom04 said...: Geocaching! This is a much tighter year for us financially and I discovered geocaching from a Christmas letter we received from one of our friends. There are literally dozens of these little treasure chests hidden around our area and thousands more within short drives.

We spent our summer home watching tv and bringing the kids outside to play. We only left the house if we got rides to places. We walk down to the grocery store together as a family carrying back groceries since the car was broke.

We had a young child so we spent time with him. We did have a small tv to watch. He did homework while I did the bath and get ready for bed with our child. We went to bed early and got up early.

Sharon Harmon said...: The time I was poorer than old Mother Hubbard with bare cupboards was when I first moved out of home after graduating college and got my first real job. I was a freelance stenographer and the paychecks from lawyers didn't start coming for a few months, so I lived on ramen noodles and water for 3 months! I had moved out of state and didn't know anyone, so I found an ad in the paper for free kittens and went to the farm where they were. I had to chase down 2 wild kittens!! I didn't want just 1 because I thought it would get lonely when I was working, so I got 2. oh, my gosh! They were so wild, they climbed the curtains, raced across my bed when I was sleeping, and jumped off my second-story balcony!! After I finally started getting paid, I didn't eat ramen noodles for 15 years! lol! Thank you for this great contest!

Tamara B. said...: This past years has been a living hell trying to stretch a dollar let's say trying to stretch a penny. What we did during the summer break with two tweens and no money. We listened to our local radio station to give a secret location of where their promotional van would be for the day and we would race to it to get free tickets to the movies or free dinners at CiCi pizza. We got lucky several times and was able to have a semi normal summer break.

joannaonthelake said...: I was broker then a joker when I purchased my first home! The mortgage lender we used estimated our closing costs way too low and when closing day came we ended up owing almost $2 thousand dollars more than what the estimated costs were. The mortgage company had omitted a couple of major fees and we were too inexperienced to catch them beforehand! Needless to say it put us in a pickle of a situation where it literally took us over a year to get that money back into savings so were not totally wiped out! In order to not go stir crazy at home we spent our time scouring flea markets and garage sales to pick up items we desperately need for our new home, and we needed so much at that time. We were able to purchase a new sofa at a garage sale that looked like it had barely been used and we got that for $40! We also purchased tables, lamps, cookware, dressers, all at garage sales and truly never spent more than $5-20 on those items each. We also spent a lot of time doing our own painting of rooms and when we were not at work at our jobs, we focused on becoming proficient at being do-it-yourselfers! Now were have been living in our home for about 8 years and we are still trying to make ends meet by frequenting garage sales and flea markets, but now we are on the hunt for baby and toddler gear of all kinds! We now have 3 young children one of which is 6 months old and money is tight again! Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
