Are you doing CVS – Any other GREAT deals??
Monday Match-ups, All the posts and deals of the weekend (and way to many mentions of sausage – LOL)!

In the United States, Italian sausage is a style of pork sausage noted for its seasoning of fennel and/or anise, containing at least 85% meat and no more than 35% fat. Made in sweet and hot styles, this kind of sausage is generally not cured. A typical method of cooking in grilling, as depicted here. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
No Sunday Funday around here as I was consumed with planning deals and meals (click HERE for a weekly meal plan) and STUFF, so I am enforcing a MONDAY FUNDAY… which you all understand translates to “Mamas gotta shop!” I am so excited for all the deals this week at TOPS (FINALLY) and I actually ordered coupons which I have not done in forever… but I had over $35 in my Savingstar account so I transferred the moolah and bought some really good Q’s.
Savingstar (Click HERE) – are you using it? So easy and profitable!!
Coupon Dede’s (Click HERE) – this is where I ordered coupons from this week. I spent $10 on Qs but they are .50/1 – .75/1 vs the $1.00/2 we receive around here… They are worth more than double what we have and for my $10 I got over 100 different Qs!! For example here we received a $1/2 Hillshire Farms Sausage Q (that will save me .50 on each sausage)… I ordered .55/1 Q’s (which when doubled will save me $1.10 on each sausage or .60 more than my own Q would save). I want to get 20 sausages while they are so cheap so .60 savings x 20 sausage = $12.00 difference right there! And I have 80 other coupons to work with on other items! I wouldn’t say that this is prudent to do every single week, but again, I earned the money in my Savingstar account and it is SAUSAGE WEEK… (I am just sayin’) LOL!!!
So just as a reminder, click HERE for the HOT TOPS deals this week ~ YEAH!!
Click HERE for Rite-aids awesome deals this week ~ COOL!!
Click HERE to review CVS’s deals too ~ NICE!!

CVS – week of 1/13/13
CVS – oh me, oh my… if you have UPS expiring in the next 2 weeks, might I suggest you decide on something you want to buy and find a decent coupon – fun makeup perhaps or nice shampoo or lotions… cuz SERIOUSLY there is not much chance of rolling ECB’s to make awesome deals…
There is one option for a $10 CVS card – which I like because I can then use the GC for my tax!! Here’s the roll…

(2) Dawn Dish Liquid – $.99
= $29.98

CVS Deals ~ week of 6/3
OH CVS – I have missed your complete awesome-sauce-ness!
I know, I know… I was proclaiming my love for TOPS and look where that got me: see Tops UPDATED coupon policy here!
But alas, even in my darkest hour, peaking back at ole’ faithful, my CVS welcomed me with fantastic deals for the coming week!!
Aren’t you all glad I don’t write poetic journalism?? LOL
Anyhow, I will definitely be hitting up MY ALL TIME FAVORITE STORE EVAAAHHHHH!!! and gathering FREE items by the basket full!
Most of the first few items are moneymakers… there is Physician’s Formula skin care and makeup (the magic coupon machine granted me a $3/$15 Physician Formula Q and a $3/$10 any makeup Q last week – along with a $1 off any toothbrush Q – gotta love that machine! AND I hope you scan your card multiple times until it tells you “no more coupons…”), and my favorite deal person Ann of Coupons Deals and More has an awesome list of rebates which include many Physician Formula rebates – see link below… There is FREE Oral B, Crest Mouthwash, Starbucks Refreshers and Speedstick and you can grab some super cheap razors (I do believe our FREE razor days are gone – but getting an almost $10 razor for only .50 is well worth the trip!). I am going to guess that with coupons, ECB and especially the rebate, we should be able to get over $80 worth of GREAT STUFF for better than FREE!!!!!!!!!!
