I am going to Wags tonight to try the Dixie thing. I need some paper goods for a party we are having on the 4th.

Aussie $1.00

Then I got $11.50 ECBs for Aussie, Colgate, Bandages, Listerine and $3 off next purchase

AND>>>> They were out of quite a few things I wanted to take advantage off for ECBs so I have rainchecks for:
(2) Listerine Smart Rinse FREE
(2) Oral B twin pack FREE
(5) Colgate Freshmax toothpaste .99

ECB's are CVS right? My dh is a Aussie only kind of guy and I have a hard time finding coupons for it, but I don't have a CVS here. So, I was wondering if it is something I should be looking for or not.

aussie is usually harder to find on sale BUT walgreens mimicks cvs pretty much all the time. theres usually coupons but haven't been for the last 2 months. since its summer though personal care products are the couponed item so hopefully this weeks pg&e will have some. either way keep your eye on walgreens easy saver rebates and sale "coupons". thats where i see the aussie sales.

i went to cvs last night for the first time in a month. glad to say that i haven't lost the touch and it feels great to get alot of stuff for very little. i spent about $30 but got back 30 ecb so that is a GOOD deal. plus TP, laundry soap, and PT for free. and i am in LOVE with charmin ultra....all thanks to cvs.

1 Aussie Shampoo $2.99

1 Colgate advanced $2.99

2 CVS brand pull-ups jumbo pack clearance $3.50 each (normally $13.99)

1 Listerine Smart Rinse $3.49

2 CVS bandages $1.99

(2) Oral B twin pack FREE

So that is another $21 in free stuff and $12.45 discount on the toothpaste (I have coupons to add to that too though so it will probably be free)!!!!

Then I went to Kroger and "bought" 6 Buddies bar soaps and 2 Glade plug-ins for all of .09!!!

One more thing. When I went to get water this morning for a track meet I saw Colgate 360 toothbrushes marked $3.99 with $3.99 ECB so I bought the limit of 5. The rang up $4.49 each and I was not about to pay that for a toothbrush so the guy went back to check and came up to tell me that it was in a display box that actually expired (I missed that part) but since it was still there he would give them to me!! Anoither $23.80 saved and 5 free toothbrushes!!

Thanks for starting this thread Satori. Because of you, I am saving money and getting some great staples for FREE.

Your going to get even better at this, go check out the CVS forum at AFullCup http://www.afullcup.com/upload/cvs/ I'm betting your next trip will look more like this:
1 Aussie Shampoo $.99

1 Colgate advanced $.49 or FREE

2 CVS brand pull-ups jumbo pack clearance $3.50 each (normally $13.99)

1 Listerine Smart Rinse $1

2 CVS bandages $FREE


You did great for your first trip! I wish we had a CVS around here, they have way better deals then walgreens! I'm temped to start taking the bus down there (its 50 miles) for $4 round trip when I can score a ton of stuff. I just need to figure out how to get it all on the bus! They had a killer TP sale last week and it killed me not to get any. Not that I had any actual cash but we could have been stocked with TP for a year easy if I did. It was half what we pay here! ($5.99 vs $10.99 for our sales)

oh! Don't forget to get your extra care card if you haven't already

If you have a Kroger in your area that participates, you can load e-coupons onto your Kroger plus card. I don't know if they work with any other cards, but it'll probably list the cards that you can load them onto. They will be applied automatically and you can use them in conjuction with a paper coupon. I'm not sure how often the shortcuts and making life better coupons change, but the P&G changes about monthly. The current group of coupons expire 6/30 so there is still time if you use the products.

Once you add a coupon, you can't take it off and there is a limit so only add the ones you know you will use. I've added some that I thought I might want to use, but then decided not to. I then couldn't add more that I would definitely use until the ones I decided not to use had expired or I'd made room on my card by redeeming other coupons.

I believe that Aussie is BOGO at Kroger with the P&G esaver coupon until tomorrow along with a number of other BOGO offers.
