I found good deals at both CVS and Jewel.
Jewel Transaction 1:
1 roll Scott paper towel = 2.00
1 roll Scott toilet paper = .89
6 jars Skippy peanut butter = 12.00 – (2) .60 Qs = 10.80
Total = 14.26; earned $7 Catalinas off next order
Jewel Transaction 2:
1 roll Scott paper towel = 2.00
1 roll Scott toilet paper = .89
8 cans Healthy Choice soup = 8.00
1 box green tea = 3.99
Total = 15.41 – 7.00 Cats from transaction 1 = 8.41; earned $7 Cats
Jewel Transaction 3:
1 roll Scott paper towel = 2.00
1 roll Scott toilet paper = .89
3 cartons Breyers ice cream = 8.64
Total = 11.98 – 7.00 Cats from transaction 2 – 4.98; earned $7 Cats
I spent $27.65 for 26 items ($1.06 each), plus I have another $7 Cats
I saved $49.87 or 64%!

This deal did not work out quite the way I had planned.
Transaction 1:
1 pkg. Huggies = 8.49 – 2.00 CVS Q = 6.49, earned $2 ECBs
1 Bayer Contour meter = 19.99 – 10.00 Q = 9.99, earned $15 ECBs
I had $14.98 in ECBs, so my OOP was $2.71
However, when my ECBs printed, only $5 came up for the Contour meter instead of $15. I did not notice this until I paid for transaction 2 and it was much more expensive than I had planned without the additional $10 ECBs.
Transaction 2:
1 pkg Carefree liners = 1.00 – 1.00 Q = Free
1 pkg Crest = 3.50, earned $3.50 ECBs
1 pkg Kotex = 4.99, - 1.00 Q = 3.99, earned $4.99 ECBs
2 bottles 64 oz. hand soap refill = 8.98
1 dental floss = 1.99, earned $1.99 ECBs
I had the $7 ECBs from transaction 1 to use, so my OOP was $13.30, way more than I had planned. I stepped away from the register and my first thought was, “I must REALLY be sleep deprived to think this was a good deal!” Then I realized the error with the Contour meter. The cashier printed a $10 ECB for me, so I went into the store with $14.98 in ECBs and walked out with $20.49 ECBs. I would have rather caught the mistake before I did transaction 2 so I would have only paid $3 OOP, but at least I did catch the error.
We will still need to run to the store later in the week to get some fresh fruits and vegetables.
