CVS run for Pantene and Complete

I have gotten in the habit of waiting until Thursday to do my CVS shopping because more often than not, CVS emails me a $5/xx coupon on Thursday. Well, they did not disappoint today and sent me a $5/30 good today through Sunday.
My coupon buddy told me about a Pantene deal she did on Sunday and I was excited to find I had an even better stash of homemailers to make it a money maker.
Even with the insert coupons it is still a pretty good deal.
Here is what I did:

2 Pantene stylers $3.49 each (earn $2 ECB for each one)
6 Pantene shampoo/conditoner $3.33 each (earn $5 wyb $20)
= 26.96
-13.32 4 bogo insert 11-29 P&G(these state free shampoo, so you need 4 of those)
-2 $1/2 insert 11-29 P&G (for the 4 you are paying for, I had 2 $3/2 :)
= $11.64 earns $5 and $4 ecb, so $2.64 or .33 each!!!! (my total was 7.64)

1 Complete eye solution $9.99
-$2 Randalls booklet from May
= $7.99 but earn $9.99 ecb

$1 St Jude donation
-$5/30 CVS email coupon
= $11.63
I spent $10.95 in ECBS and .73 oop and got back $18.99 in ECBS - for $7.31 profit

(if you have a $5/xx, your profit could be $4.xx)

When I was done, I noticed my receipt did not show reaching my limit on the stylers, so I went back in and bought
2 Shampoo $6.66
2 Stylers  $6.981.98
-2 bogo Pantene (6.66) - $3/2 homemailer
=$3.98 and got back $4 ECB and now reached limit  (with the $1/2 insert, this would be $1.98 cost for the 4 items)

*I doubt you can do all 4 stylers in the same transaction since the ad says limit 2, so I suggest doing them in groups of 2 in two transactions.
I also noticed I am not to the limit on the P&G deal so I can buy 4 more shampoo/conditioner, use bogo and $1/2
Cost will be $5.66 and get back $5!

Good way to stock up on Pantene.

More Free Veggie Tales Christmas Songs - FREE MP3 downloads

The picture shows $5.99, but that is the cost of the whole 25 Veggie Tales Christmas album. If you click the picture or here, it will take you to the list of songs and for $5.99 you can buy the whole thing, or you can just get the 7 songs that are free for download. I really enjoy the Veggie Tales.

Also, if you have not already done so, you can still get the Incredible Singing Christmas Tree Album free for download. Just check out my post here for how to download that whole album at once(rather than song by song :)

Thanks Hooked on Bargains for the info.

New Month, New Coupons

I have a love/hate relationship with the 1st of the month.   I hate the fact that so many coupons expire at the end of the month, but I LOVE that most the sites reload their coupon offerings.

Check out Coupons.com, RedPlum, Smart Source, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, and Eat Better America for new coupon offerings.

AND don't forget to head over to your Upromise account and preload your savings "coupons" from them (remember, Upromise coupons will not show up on your receipt, but will be added to your Upromise savings account)
