CVS trip week of 5/22 Saved over $100

I had a great time shopping at CVS this week. I made 2 trips because I was only focused on the laundry detergent the first trip. We all know laundry detergent can be an evil and expensive thing but it is a necessity. Purex puts out great coupons and goes on great sales!
Here are my goodies:
  • 7 bottles of purex 
  • 6 bottles of Revlon nail polish
  • 1 L bottle of Listerine (not on sale but DH wanted it)
  • 1 Gallon of Milk
  • 1 Rimmel powder blush
  • 1 pack of stride gum
  • 2 single serve Crystal Light mixes
  • 2 Banana Boat sunscreens
  • 1 Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen
  • One Green Bag Tag
My OOP: $16.54 + tax
Total Saved: $124.59
ECB remaining: $18
I saved almost 90%. Sadly I did not have that many ECB to start the week but I am ready for next week.
Does not show everything but some things given away to family.

Lets Go Lightning

<3 Like I said I LOVE hockey. <3 I am life-long Detroit Red Wings fan and my all-time favorite player is Steve Yzerman. Alas I live in Tampa Bay and the Lightning is the home team and in a different conference from the Wings.  So the Wings only come into town every other year for one game. 
I was very excited last summer when the news was announced the Yzerman was coming to the Lightning to be VP and GM! He and the coach Guy Boucher have done an amazing job turning the Lightning into an amazing team this season. My DH and I had the great pleasure of going to game Game 6 against Boston Bruins at the St Pete Times Forum and it was an amazing game and so much fun. 
Tonight is game 7 and I can't wait. Who ever wins this game goes on to play Vancouver for the Stanley Cup.
No matter the outcome the team has been great this season and I believe that great things will come as Yzerman and Boucher help continue to build a great time.
GO BOLTS!

Hello World

Hello blog world,

My name is Jessica. I have found a new love in coupons. No I am not one of the extreme couponers that you see on TV.  I like to save money on things I like to eat and do. I love hockey but going to games can be expensive but by using coupons there is extra money for fun now. I also enjoy cooking.

This blog will be my outlet to share my finds in all things coupons, cooking, and hockey.
