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!!!!

Vegetable Lo Mein

Okay, I already messed with the menu. :) I didn't get to get to the store in time to get the potatoes for mashed potatoes to have with the meatloaf. So I had to make the lo mein instead of the meatloaf yesterday. I kind of did my own thing but with help from this Chicken Chow Mein recipe and this Vegetable Lo Mein recipe. First I boiled the noodles. Then fried them in the skillet in a bit of oil. This really helped them not stick together. And I'm sure gives it more flavor. I took the noodles out of the pan and put them in a dish until it was time to add them back. I then started stir frying the veggies. Mushrooms, onions first. Then a bag of coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots), some bean sprouts. I microwaved a small bowlful of broccoli and added that. I also added a can of sliced water chestnuts. I mixed one cup of chicken broth and a tablespoon of cornstarch and added that to the veggies. Then added a tablespoon of reduced sodium soy sauce and a tablespoon or so of oyster f...
