This is assuming the store I go to has everything in stock. Which I doubt will happen, to be honest, but let's just see.
Listerene - $2.99 -$1 coupon from diabetes booklet
Sally Hansen x2 - $11.98 -2/$3 from CVS beauty booklet
Arm and Hammer - $2.99 -$1 printable
L'Orealx2 - $13.98 -2x $2 coupon*
Excedrin - $3.99 -$2 from Kroger blinkie
Halls - $2.59 -50 cent coupon
Benefiber - $7.29 -$2 coupon
EAS Advantage Bar - $1.69, no coupon
$34, get back 47.50.
*This may not work after all - the coupon does say "any makeup" but that may not include eyeshadow (seems like they mean foundation/powder/blush). I might try it or just buy the eyeshadow outright since it is pretty. I also just printed two more Arm and Hammer coupons so I might use those, and I have one $1/Crest coupon so I might use that too. It will kind of be a "whatever they have, I'll get" kind of day.
Reminder: No coupons this week! No paper to buy!

Day 49 - Trip 1
First, I was going to get the ear rinse to roll some bucks. But as I drove, I thought, I just don't need that, and most of my bucks are rolled, and next week there are some fun freebies...
Then the scanner gave me a $5/EOB tote bag coupon, and I saw the spring bags were on sale for $7.49, and I thought hey, I can spend some bucks for a change. (The bag will likely either become a gift or a toy for my daughter - either way, money well spent I think!) (Could I have combined that scanner coupon with one of the CVS Beauty Booklet EOB coupons? I didn't need to, as you'll see, but I wonder...)

Day 48 - Trip 1
2 tubes of Maybelline lipstick - $6.69 (BOGO)
1 bottle of Complete - $8.99
-$2/Complete, -2 x $4/Maybelline, -$5.69 ECB. Paid 69 cents tax (final pre-tax total was negative one penny, tax was 70 cents). Got back $8.99. Profit that brought me to an ECB total that is *OVER* what I ended up with after Black Friday! I still have some ECBs to roll but plan to do some of the freebies (but not all, I don't think) during Christmas/Hanukkah week).
No picture, sorry!
PS I also hit Publix and saved $44.37 while spending $33.54 and getting things we needed, including diapers (I use cloth 99% of the time and eco-friendly disposables the other 1%), frozen veggies, spaghetti sauce, fancy refrigerated salad dressing, salad, beans, ice cream, and more. And the penny item was a substitution - an $8 platter of holiday cookies! Nice!

Back to Kroger!
Oh I *LOOOVE* this deal!
Transaction 1:
1 3-pack of Fleischmann's yeast. It's $1. I used a 45 cent coupon, doubled. I paid 11 cents. I got back a 50 cent Catalina.
Transaction 2:
5 3-packs of yeast.
1 box of Kroger brand baking soda (we were low on this - we use it for everything from baking to cloth diaper laundry)
I used 5 yeast coupons (4 40 cent and 1 45 cent) and the Catalina. I figured I'd need one item per coupon, so that's why I threw in the baking soda, which is only 59 cents anyway. In the end I paid 55 cents and got back FIVE 50 cent Catalinas. That's $5 in free groceries!
I have 3 more yeast coupons to use later in the week. I also read about free Life Savers - I have the coupons but am not sure if the sale is in my region, so I have to go check. Anyway, I'm pleased. I'm either going to get organic milk, tofu, or Morningstar Farms stuff with the Catalinas. Or, you know, roll them into more and more yeast first.... (at on-sale-with-no-coupon price this week, I could buy one yeast per Catalina and get the Catalina back...).
YAY!

Kroger!
I went to Kroger and got 2 tubs of Daisy sour cream for free ($10/10, I had two 50 cent coupons), 2 4-packs of Cottonelle for free (cellfire + shortcuts + 2 newspaper coupons), and 1 3-pack of Fleischmans Yeast for 20 cents.
The yeast spat out a 50 cent Catalina.
I went back and got a double paper - and the Catalina DOUBLED. Is that standard? So I got the double paper for $1.47 and in it are two more $4 coupons for Maybelline that will net me two free lipsticks AND about $1.50 in overage at CVS! Woohoo!
I think I'm going back for more yeast. I've been planning on using my bread machine more anyway, but if I'm going to spend 20 cents and get back 50 cents (doubled to $1?) it's sure worth it!

Day 47 - Trip 2 - My Other Card
Again with the random dollar - though this time I managed to hand over the ECB...
2 Maybelline lipsticks (neither in my preferred color but I think these will work) - $6.69 for both due to BOGO
1 Complete - $8.99
1 Powerade - $1.59
1 Pert - $2.50
2 travel baby wipe packs - $1.98
Used $2/Complete, $2/Pert, 2x $4/Maybelline (OVERAGE!). I thought I was under $7.99. But then my total was more than that, so I handed over an $8.99. Still owed over $1 so I handed over the $1 ECB. But then my total was negative 24 cents plus tax, so I wound up paying only 50 cents. I'm still kind of confused as to how all this math played out but typing it out, it...sort of makes some sort of sense. So I paid 50 cents tax and got back an $8.99 and a $1.59, so I made a profit when all was said and done. Weird.
My Rolaids coupons, for whatever it's worth, didn't match the products on the shelves. Now I'm not sure if they matched this morning either and the register just accepted them or if I had a different coupon or what. Who knows.
Anyway, in the end I rolled a bunch of stuff this week and feel good about getting more Complete later in the month. I have 2 coupons left and may use my other household computers to get more...heh.

Day 47 - Trip 1
Hmm. I did this all on the fly and my math was off as you'll see, leading to an unnecessarily (for the "game") high OOP that could've been avoided.
1 Powerade - $1.59
1 Complete contact lens solution (my store has it in stock, yay!) - $8.99
1 Rolaids 3 pack - $2.49
1 Pert Plus - $2.50
1 double paper - $2.50
Used $1/Rolaids (I have one more of these coupons, I think), $2/Complete (definitely have at least one more of these), $2/Pert (and one more of these!), $8.99 ECB, $2.98 ECB. And then my total was $1.45. And I thought wow, that's pretty high - and somehow when I did my quick math I underestimated by $1 - and, well, I *had* a $1 ECB I could've used. Oh well, I will use it another time, but I hate when that happens!
Anyway, I am considering copying this deal with my other card and instead of the newspaper, getting some more lipstick with the BOGO Maybelline sale + coupons. I don't mind using up ECBs (though there's a lot of freebies coming out the week of Christmas/Hanukkah, hooray!), but amusingly, since I paid cash today and didn't hand over the $1, I actually came out with more bucks on this card. Ha.

Current ECB status: $37.23
1 Powerade - $1.59
1 Complete contact lens solution (my store has it in stock, yay!) - $8.99
1 Rolaids 3 pack - $2.49
1 Pert Plus - $2.50
1 double paper - $2.50
Used $1/Rolaids (I have one more of these coupons, I think), $2/Complete (definitely have at least one more of these), $2/Pert (and one more of these!), $8.99 ECB, $2.98 ECB. And then my total was $1.45. And I thought wow, that's pretty high - and somehow when I did my quick math I underestimated by $1 - and, well, I *had* a $1 ECB I could've used. Oh well, I will use it another time, but I hate when that happens!
Anyway, I am considering copying this deal with my other card and instead of the newspaper, getting some more lipstick with the BOGO Maybelline sale + coupons. I don't mind using up ECBs (though there's a lot of freebies coming out the week of Christmas/Hanukkah, hooray!), but amusingly, since I paid cash today and didn't hand over the $1, I actually came out with more bucks on this card. Ha.
