Pretty Cool Summer Deal at CVS....Spend $30 get a $10 gas card

Hey Couponers...
I have been hearing rumors of this CVS deal all week and now that the Weekly Ad preview is up I can tell you that it is true.  If you spend $30 on select items that will be shown on the front and back of the CVS weekly ad you will get a coupon printed on your receipt that will allow you to get a FREE $10 gas card.  That is pretty amazing with it being summer when we all know gas prices are going to skyrocket!
So this is what the items are this week:
Sobe Life Water or 32 oz Gatorade --BOGO
Tostitos or Doritos-- 2 for $5
Edy's Ice Cream--BOGO
Hershey's Singles- B2G1
Folgers Classic Roast Coffee- 8.99
2 Liter Cokes- .99 limit 5
Lysol Spray or Wipes- 2 for $10
Palmolive- .88 limit 5
Finish Tab or Powerballs-- $2.99
M&Ms 15 oz-2 for $5
M&Ms Large Bag- $4
Sweedish Fish or Sour Patch Kids 15 oz- 2 for $5
Twizzlers 11-32 oz -- 2 for $4

I am pretty sure that there are some coupons for at least some of these items.  It says on the back of the add that you are limited to one gas coupon per household per week.  It also says while supplies last and no rain checks.  I am thinking that this is going to bring out some CRAZY couponers but if you go into a store and they don't have the products or the cards don't give up!!!  It sounds like you have the full week to do your shopping so hopefully they will get in lots of these items and lots of gas cards!  I am about to start digging in the inserts to see what match ups I can find so stay tuned for more!  I can't wait to hear how this goes for you guys this weekend!!!

Happy Shopping and Saving!!

New Coupon site I am trying out

Happy Thursday Everyone!
I was doing some reading this morning on the deals at CVS this week and I came across a pretty cool site called SavingStar.  They allow you to select eCoupons and have them placed on your store loyalty card.  That coupon money is then placed in your SavingStar account.  Once you have $5 in your account you can redeem it for cash to your bank account or eGift Cards from what I can tell.  I am going to try it out and see how it works so stay tuned!!!

Here is the link to the site if you want to try it out with me!

I am back!!!!!

Hello Couponers!!
So terribly sorry that I had to take a mini break from the blog but with all the devastation in the state of Alabama and some insane schedules with both on my kids I needed to take a blogcation!

But now I am back and I am really anxious to start adding to my stockpile since I pretty much cleaned it out and donated it to storm victims.  Such a great feeling to know that I could help out as much as I did and not totally drain my bank account. 

I am home right now with a really bad case of walking pneumonia and all of the steroids that I am on have brought on some massive food cravings!  This afternoon I wanted rice so into the kitchen I went thinking I had some wonderful bags of 90 sec Uncle Ben's rice only to find that I had donated them so I said to myself it is time to restock!!  I did a mini shop last Friday just to make sure I still had it in me and I got lots of cheap stuff at Publix.  So over the next few days I will be getting back into my favorite sites tracking down the deals and letting you all know about them!  Thanks for sticking with me during this time!!!

Happy Shopping and Saving!!
