Right Guard Bodywash and Deoderant for $.41 each!



Need a great stocking stuffer for the man in your life? How about Right Guard Total Defense Bodywash and Deoderant? You can get them both for $.83 plus tax at Target this week.

Also, when I printed the coupons I noticed that the expiration date isn't until late December/January. That means that if the bodywash or deoderant goes on sale before the coupons expire, you might get an even better deal! It's up to you if you want to take the present deal or bet on a better deal later.

Buy:

Right Guard Total Defense 5 Bodywash
Right Guard Total Defense 5 Deoderant

Use: 
All three of the below coupons:

printable- Right Guard Total Defense Bodywash Target Coupon
printable-Right Guard Total Defense Deoderant Target Coupon
printable-Right Guard Total Defense Product Manufacturer's Coupons

*Remember that at Target you can use both a manufacturer's coupon and a Target store coupon on the same item which is why you're allowed to use three coupons on only two items.

This was an easy to do deal and I hope you're able to get it, too!

Triple Coupons at Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods in Leland, NC!




Wow! Those of you who are close to Leland, NC are getting spoiled with all the competition between grocery stores there!

The Lowes Foods in Leland is already tripling coupons indefinitely but now Harris Teeter has jumped on board and will be tripling coupons. Rumor has it they will be doing this indefinitely, too but I know it will at least be going on all week.

Remember that with triple coupons, all coupons less than $1 triple, up to 20 coupons per day per VIC card or 20 per transaction at Lowes Foods. Look to the left here on my website for a TON of FREE coupons you can print and focus on the ones that are less than $1 to take to triple coupons.

So, a $.25 coupon triples to $.75 off, $.50 to $1.50 off and $.75 to $2.25 off. This can equal HUGE savings!

Finally, as a side note, Hanover Center Harris Teeter across from the mall is giving a flat 10% off anything in the store through Friday, November 30th. So if you don't have any coupons, you can at least go there to get a nice 10% off plus they double coupons there.

Great Deal on Diapers Coming Up at CVS


If you are buying diapers for a little one (think baby shower gift, for a grandchild or your own child), you won't want to miss out on a deal coming up at CVS starting this Saturday, December 2nd.

Pampers brand Diapers will be on sale for $9.99. Here is a $2 printable coupon that you can print for an additional $2 off, making the price you pay $7.99. Print the coupon soon because it will probably disappear from online on Nov. 30th.

After you pay, CVS will give you back $4 in Extrabucks, so your true cost for the diapers is only $3.99, which comes out to around 12-13 cents per diaper. Compare that to Sam's Club's price for the diapers of around $.21 per diaper. It is a really great deal.

You can only do this deal once, though because there is a limit of one Extrabucks offer per person, so maybe you could get other family or friends to buy for you if you need to stock up.

Also, remember to use any Extrabucks that you earned previously at CVS to pay your out of pocket costs. I plan on using some of the Extrabucks that I earned during CVS's crazy black Friday sale event last week so I shouldn't have to pay anything out of pocket but I will still earn the $4 back in Extrabucks.

CVS Trip #2: Made $8.47!

 Made $8.47 from buying these items at CVS today! 
Pictured: Wet n Wild Fingernail Polish Kit,4 GUM Toothbrushes, 2 90-ct CVS Brand Flossers, 2 Snickers Bars, 4 pack CVS AA Batteries, Phillips Earbuds for IPODs, Orajel Kids Toothpaste

Join me at an upcoming workshop or book your own! 

After filling my belly with turkey and enjoying some time with family, my husband and i hopped over to CVS for a quick trip to pick up some of the easy freebies available in their short ad that started Thanksgiving Day and will run through Saturday night. 

While the freebies weren't as plentiful as they were in the four day ad that CVS just ran, there are still several easy and fun freebies to pick out. What made them even better is that I was able to use the Extrabucks that I earned earlier this week to pay for the items that I bought in today's ad, so I paid very little out of pocket, only $3.28. After paying, I received back $11.75 in Extrabucks so once again, I made money off this trip. 

First I bought these items for only $2.10 after using my Extrabucks from the last CVS ad:

Then I bought these items for only $1.18 after using my Extrabucks from the first transaction. I also used a $1.00 off coupon for the Orajel, which was not on sale but I needed it for my kids.

After paying, I was given $11.75 back in Extrabucks to use on a future purchase! Since my out of pocket was only $3.28, I actually made money. Here's how you can do it, too:

Easy Freebies: 

CVS AA or AAA 4 pack batteries- pay $3.65 and get back $3.65 in Extrabucks, limit 1 

GUM Toothbrush 2 pack- pay $2.50 and get back $2.50 in Extrabucks, limit 2 

Mars Chocolate Single Candy Bars- pay $.75 and get back $.75 in Extrabucks, limit 2 

Phillips Earbuds- pay $6.99 and get back $6.99 in Extrabucks, limit 1 

CVS Brand Dental Flossers 90 ct- Pay $2.00 and get back $2.00 in Extrabucks, limit 2 

Other Good Deals: 

Wet n Wild Perfect Petites Nail Color Kit- Pay $2.99 and get back $2.00 in Extrabucks, limit 1 (so it's like you paid only $.99) 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick or Color Burst Lip Butter- Pay $6.99 and get back $4.00 in Extrabucks, limit 6 (so it's like you paid only $2.99 each) 

Toys are B1G1 Free (must buy two to get the deal) 

Holiday M&Ms- $4/$10- use 2 coupons for $1 off 2 bags from the Nov. 11 Red Plum You'll pay $8 for 4 bags and then get back $4 in Extrabucks, making final price $1 each bag! 

Cheerios 8.9-14 oz- On sale for $2.87, use $.50/1 coupon and pay only $2.37 but get back $2.00 in Extrabucks, so it's like you paid $.37 for the cereal! Limit 1 

Also, should you need something that is not on sale, there was a big 25% off coupon in today's Thanksgiving newspaper on the CVS ad. You can use that on your entire purchase in the store and you can even stack coupons on top of the 25% off but remember it's only for non-sale items. If you did not get the newspaper today, the cashier may have a 25% off coupon that she will ring up for you so it never hurts to ask!

You have through Saturday night, Nov. 24th to get these deals, so don't miss out!

Black Friday special- all items 30% off at www.couponingbinders.com through Monday night, November 26th! Click here to order now!

CVS- $30+ Worth of FREE items and made $12!


Pictured: $30.56 worth of items. I paid $2.10  plus tax for them. After I paid, I got back $14.10 in Extrabucks for a future purchase! So, I made a total of  $12 after all was said and done. 

If you have not tried shopping at CVS, this is definitely the week to give it a shot! On pages 2-3 and page 24 of the CVS flyer, there are tons of FREE items. You first have to pay for the item but after paying you will receive the full amount you paid (not counting tax) back in the form of an Extrabuck. Extrabucks are like CVS money- you can immediately use them to pay for anything else in the store (except lotto, tobacco, stamps or alcohol). 

Extrabucks are attached to your receipt and look like this:


What made this trip so much fun is that I already had Extrabucks to start with. I had earned $10 Extrabucks last week doing a diaper deal at CVS. So, I was able to use all those Extrabucks to pay for my first set of items. After paying for those items, I received around $12 in Extrabucks that I then used to pay for my second set of items. After paying for my second set of items, I got back $14.10 in Extrabucks that I have in my binder right now. I am saving those for a future purchase at CVS!

I split my purchases so that I could use Extrabucks to pay for the second purchase instead of using my own money to buy everything

Transaction #1
First I bought these items. I used my $10 Extrabucks from last week to pay for them so I only paid $2.03 out of my pocket (most of which was tax). After paying, I was given $11.34 in Extrabucks, which I immediately took to pay for my second set of items.


Transaction #2

My second transaction was buying all of these. I only paid 1.61 out of pocket, most of which was tax. After paying, I got back $14.10 in Extrabucks to use on a future purchase!

A couple of items were moneymakers, meaning that I used a coupon to buy them, but still got back the full amount of the item's value. For example, the Glade Scented Oil Warmer was $1.25. I had a coupon for $1.00 off that I got from the Nov. 4th Sunday paper Smart Source. So, I only paid $.25. But, after paying, CVS gave me back the full $1.25 in Extrabucks. I made the amount of the coupon, which was $1.00! 

I also did this with the Children's Advil Suspension Drops. They were $2.37 and I had a $1.00 off coupon from here. After the coupon, I paid $1.37 but got back $2.37 in Extrabucks. There were other moneymakers, such as the Command Hooks (sale for $.99; use $1 coupon to make them free but get back $.99). However, I either couldn't find them in the store or they were already sold out. The clerk told me that people were there at 12:01 a.m.! Apparently, I arrived "late" at 7:30 a.m., lol....

Although some things were out, they had plenty of the Sparkle Paper Towel single rolls, the Hot Wheels Die Cast Cars, Powerade, Carmex Lip Balm, and Children's Advil 1 oz. 

You have until Wednesday night, November 21st to buy these deals. If items are out when you go, either get a raincheck (you'll get the sale price but will not earn an Extrabuck) or try back since they will be getting more items in.

Take a look at pages 2, 3 and 24 of the CVS flyer. Anything that has the big red FREE box on it means that it will be free after you pay and you can STILL use a coupon on them, too!
See the ad in your Sunday paper or 
click above to see the ad at cvs.com. Pages 2, 3 and 24 are the pages with all the free items.

Thanks to San Antonio Budget Examiner for first tipping me off to the sale and for some ideas of deals I could do!
