CVS & Walmart Savings 1/18 - Freebies

I love when you shop and get things for free, it makes me even happier when I get paid to take things home. Today was a good shopping day, even though I wasn't able to find any of the Free Febreze candles. I might stop by tomorrow night and scan a few more at the "not so great" CVS, I really want to try them but not enough that I'm willing to pay $7.99.

At CVS today I had $14.57 to spend and not a lot of great sales to roll over the ECB's with so I decided to just spend them. Free stuff is still free stuff sometimes you have to accept you can't roll over everything.

4 Pepsi 2 liters $5.40
2 Excedrin 20 ct $3.98
~ $2 Excedrin
~ $1 Excedrin
1 Febreze spray $4.99
~ $1 off Febreze
6 Dawn dish soap B1G1 $5.97
(3) ~$1 off 2 Dawn coupon
2 reusable shopping bags $1.98

Total: $22.32
Coupons: $7
ECB's Used: $14.57 and $.75 out of pocket

I didn't earn any ecb's in the transaction but I did receive $38.35 in merchandise for less than a dollar so I'm ok with that. I'm sure I'll build my stash back up.

At Walmart we picked up quite a bit and got paid to do it. =I used the overage to purchase a marked down toy for Christmas next year.

12 Johnson's buddies soap $11.88
I hate buying that much at one time b/c I might be taking some from someone else but I won't be back to Walmart in a while and needed to use the coupons
~(4) $3 off 3 Johnson's product
4 Kotex pads $4
~ (4) $1 off any Kotex product
4 First Aid kits $3.88
~ (2) $3 off any 2 First aid kits

Total: $19.76 + $1.18 tax
Coupons: $22
Profit: $1.06

More FREE Johnson's soap

While reading through my google reader another frugal blogger posted this link to more FREE Johnson's Buddies Soap. (So sorry I can't remember who it was)

The coupon is for $3 off any 3 Johnson's product. If you have a nearby store that sells it for $1 or less you've got yourself 3 free bars of soap. I normally spend my coupons at Wal-mart since our Meijer recently marked the soap up to $1.17. My sister loves to use it and it's less my Mom has to spend when she shops.

Caulking your windows

Plenty magazine has a great article on their website on how to Caulk your windows, it's a great DIY article with pictures. Maybe it's just me but every tutorial I use needs pictures, I'm much more visual about things.

In 6 easy steps you can save about 10% of the heat loss in your home. The article also states the average home will pay $2,300 this year in energy bills and 45% of that is from heat! It's time to get caulking, especially if you live in an older home like I do.
