Couponing Heaven this Week

   Ok so we all have those weeks. When nothing seems to go right and its day after day of wrong. Well this week was my everything is right week! As far as couponing that is lol! In my area there are good deals to be had but it can be difficult to get them. The Wal-Mart in our area seems to make their own coupon rules as they go along. Sometimes however you get that one amazing checker that does not huff and deny your coupon skills. With a pocket of coupons and a short list we headed into Wal-Mart on a mission. The blinders were on and we were sticking to the list! 3 boxes of laxatives (yeah I know), 1 package of Wet Ones, a gallon of milk, a 12pk of coke, a trial size aquafresh toothpaste and a roll of paper towels(it seems like there was something else but I dont remember). For the first time ever, due to a great checker, we were allowed to use the overage from our coupons toward the other items. Then my husband scanned his employee discount. After that the store OWED us $0.10! We were thrilled to say the least. Then our luck continued at CVS. We had 3 ECBs that we held onto from a previous deal. I applied those along with coupons to pay $1 total for 4 Nivea lip treatments (on sale for $2.50 each)! Since we bought 4 Nivea products we recieved 5 ECBs back and another 1.50 ECB for our end of quarter savings. I turned around and used those 6.50 in ECBs and a coupon of course and only had to pay $1.07 for Huggies Pull-up diapers! WOOT! I still feel like dancing!
