My first REAL CVS Deal!


I did try this one other week but I don't think I got a good deal so I didn't post it. However, this week was different and I am excited about doing this more often.

Now, since I'm new at this I messed one thing up and had to refund. Plus, there were no signs for any of this stuff so it was hard to tell which thing was the ECB's. I'm sure I'll get better at it each time. Signs being up would have helped as well. :)

Here's what I got:
1st transaction:
2 rulers
1 school glue
Pd with 2 ecb's
OOP total- $1.06
earned $2.97 ecb's


2nd transaction:
3 pks of 8pk pens
pd $2.97 in ecb's
OOP total $0
earned $2.97 in ecb's


3rd Transaction:
scissors
pd with $2.97 ecb's
OOP total- $0.02
earned $2.99 in ecb's


4th Transaction:
scissors
pd. $2.99 ecbs
OOP total- $0
earned $2.97 in ecb's


5th transaction:
3 1 subject notebooks
pd 2.97 in ecb's
OOP total- $0
earned $2.97 in ecb's


6th transaction:
1 5 subject notebook
school glue
pd $2.97 in ecb's
OOP total- $2.29
earned $3.99 in ecb's


7th transaction:
gain detergent 50oz
pd. $3.99 in ecb's
OOP total- $2.20
earned $2.00 in ecb's


So in all I spent $5.57 for all of that. Plus $2 ecb's to use later. I was pretty impressed!

I did do all of the transactions seperate to maximize my savings and to prevent much from being spent out of pocket. The cashier was very friendly and happy to do so. I just moved out of the way whenever someone came to check out and then would go again after them. They weren't very busy so it worked out well. Can't wait for some more good deals!

Congratulations! That's great! I love to shop at CVS and Walgreens. You can get some really good deals! Last week I signed up for the 50 free prints to new CVS Photoshop Customers, then they had another deal 60 prints for the price of 40. I got 110 prints for $6 plus tax (I had then sent to the store to save on shipping), when I picked them up and paid I received $1.50 in ECB's. (That's like getting 110 prints for $4.5 - that's like getting them for $0.04 a print!) Keep it up!!!!

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai

A Civil War Recipe..... Oatmeal Pie

Princess came home with an assignment to to a Civil War project. There were several options but she and I always gravitate to the ones that involve cooking. So we chose to make a recipe from the Civil War time to share with her class. Can I just say how grateful I am for the internet when it comes to these school projects? We looked online and found many different recipes. I wanted one that used ingredients I already had on hand and hopefully one that would be a bit tasty. I finally found a forum where people were sharing Civil War recipes and someone had shared one for Oatmeal Pie from Charleston, South Carolina. Apparently, during the Civil War, pecans were in short supply. So oatmeal was subbed for pecans to make a sort of mock pecan pie. This recipe is very tasty and really easy. It does remind me of a pecan pie, but at the same time a little reminiscent of an apple crisp because of the oatmeal and the cinnamon. Very delicious! I'm hoping her class really enjoys it.
