The Coupon Junkie*

I used 1 $3.99 A&H Manf. Q... my other (same) coupon wouldn't go through and by the end of that trip I was over it so I chalked up the $4.xx and walked. I got $5 ecbs for the pencils and used a $3/$15 cvs coupon from the machine. I paid $4.86 got $5 ecbs and saved 83%. I know this is a quick crappy first post but I'll get back to where I was again! 

This week Hershey Bars are B2B1 @ CVS ... I had 3 B1 Hershey Bar Get1 Hershey air bar free. I didn't realize CVS was having a sale at the time, so I sent my husband to get the 6 bars, when he came home and told me about the sale, so we went back w/the receipt and got 3 more bars! Total Oop $1.19  for 9 Bars !!   [Before the other 3 bars]
