Bag Lady

Although it not be very much, some stores give you credit when you bring your own bags. Every little bit helps!!

CVS: Present your Green Bag Tag and ExtraCare Card with any reusable bag and you will get an ECB for $1 every 4th visit. A Green Bag Tag costs $1 and can only be scanned once per day. Sometimes CVS will offer an ECB for a Green Bag Tag purchase or you may get a coupon out of the magic machine for a free tag.

Lowes Foods: Earn 5¢ in fresh rewards for every reusable bag.

Target: A 5¢ credit will be given for every reusable bag. Be sure and remind the cashier to credit your bags. Sometimes they forget!

I admit it...I am a bag lady. I have store bags, plain bags, new bags and old bags. So when someone calls me an Old Bag, that's a compliment...Right??

I'm In Love

This week we love Food Lion. Two bags of Kraft shredded cheese, a block of Kraft cheese, two Oscar Mayer deli meats, five containers of Cool Whip and five more boxes of Capri Sun was a total of $4.74 (purchased in multiple transactions). Once again, it is amazing what coupons can do. Just in case you are wondering, it would have cost over $27 without coupons! The Cool Whip and deli meats were the only items on sale.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard nothin' yet!"


We love Lowes a little bit this week also. I bought four boxes of Suddenly Salad, a 5-lb. bag of "real" potatoes and six packs of Idahoan instant potatoes at 9 cents per bag with coupons and sale price. ( I really like these.) If you bought the "real" potatoes, you got a jar of Marie's potato salad dressing for free. (The shelf price for Marie's is $3.49.) I have never tried it but for free I will let you know how it is. Total OOP was $5.19, but to make it even better there is $1 off OYNO Catalina WYB four of the instant potatoes. So my cost was $4.19 if you want to count it that way. Total without coupons or sales would have been $23.90. Couponing has really made it fun to shop.

I did not visit the drug stores today, but don't worry I will before the week is out! I still have $8 in RR from Walgreens left from last week. :)

Tune in tomorrow......
