Sunday's CVS Trip

We stopped into CVS on Sunday to wish our favorite cashiers a happy Easter, and to grab a few deals.  I know that there were other freebies to be had, but I stuck with things that I knew we needed, and could use.  Here's what I ended up with...

1 CLEAR Shampoo $5.99 - $1 Sale - $4.99 CVS Coupon - $0.75/1 MC = FREE + $0.75 Money-maker!
1-10 pk Ivory Bar Soap (needed this for laundry detergent!) $5.49 - $2.49 Sale = $3
2 Gillette Body Washes (Joe's favorite) $4.99 ea - $1.99 ea Sale - $1/2 MC = 2/$5
2 Oral B Power Toothbrushes $8.49 - $2.50 ea Sale - $3/1 MC x 2 - $2 ECB's x 2 = 2/$1.98
+ $1.38 Tax
- $3/$15 CVS Email Coupon 
- $4 ECB's used to Pay
Total OOP: $7.61, Earned $4 ECB's!

Menu Plan Monday: 04/01/2013

Last week while finishing our spring cleaning, and getting ready for our family Easter dinner on Saturday, my back gave out, so meals this week are going to be more simplistic than nutritious.  But I don't think that it will kill us for one week.  Also, we are gearing up for a flea market this Saturday.  Hopefully we'll sell a lot of stuff, and make some money!  Here's what's on the menu this week...

Breakfasts: Cold Cereal, Waffles

Lunches: Leftovers, Sandwiches

Dinners: (All dinners served with Salad or a Vegetable)
Sunday - Spaghetti with Garlic Bread
Monday - Hamburger Helper
Tuesday - Zuppa Tuscana with Garlic Bread
Wednesday - Mushroom Gravy Pork Chops with Jasmine Rice
Thursday - Baked Fish and French Fries
Friday - TBA
Saturday - Out, hopefully celebrating our new riches ;-)

Extras: Leftover Vanilla Ice Cream and French Apple Pie
