Shopping Queen

I've done really well lately on coupons, CVSing and returning things that don't work for me. Here are some stories...
Publix:
I got 2 lbs. of 8 o'clock coffee BOGO free for $5.00. I had a coupon for $1.50 off, so I got them for $1.75 each!!!
I also thought my olive oil was BOGO, but my receipt didn't show that so I returned it yesterday and got $11 back on it. So, I only spent $35 last week on groceries.

CVS:
I got 6 $2 items to donate to Victoria's Friends and they gave me $10 in ECB's! (CVS money) Not too good, but I can donate them :)
I also got 3 toothpastes for $9 - $3.50 in coupons= $5.50 and they gave me $8.97 in ECB's!!!
I got Crest night mouthwash for $3.49 and they gave me $3.49 in ECB's.
I spent $26.50-3.50 in coupons-3 in CVS beauty coupon-8 in previous ECB's=$12 spent, but I got $22.50 in ECB's for next time!!!
If I had been smart, I would have done it in 2 transactions and not spent the $12 out of pocket, but I'm learning.
I also bought Body Soap I needed for $5 and I had a coupon for $1 off. So I spent $4 in ECB's and got $5 in ECB's back! I made a dollar on that one. :) I love this!

Kroger:
I shopped here for groceries this week because they are having a huge sale. I got all this for $37.93.
Almost all was on sale and they gave me $5 off with their sale and I had $8.60 in coupons. I'm not even good at this and I'm saving a ton! Now I have enough cleaning supplies to last a long time. OH and I'm getting the $4.39 back in a rebate for the scrubbing bubbles kit, so I spent less than I thought! Most of the cleaning supplies were only $1 because of the sale and my coupons. I'm hooked.
