NOT A PENNY SPENT!!...Jenna's buck still continues

Everything you see in this picture was FREE -- not a single penny paid out of my pocket. Not for taxes. Nothing! Jenna's $1 bill is still in tact in the middle front of the picture. I am bound and determined to show just how much I can get for the $1 bill that Jenna gave me for Christmas. Not pictured is the glucose monitor that started this whole thing off. I gave it away to a client with diabetes, but that monitor is regularly priced at $79.99. I had a coupon that ended up making it free after the sales price, and I got $5 ECB's to start off the whole deal.

Today at CVS, I had to improvise. I was unable to implement the plan I made in the previous post, because the coupons for ThermaCare were not the right ones for this deal. But being the accountant that I am, I figured how to make each transaction work out to $0.00 exactly every single time!! I took Mary with me, and she got to pick out eye shadow and nail polish -- what a treat!

Rather than bore you with the details of how I got it, here is a list of everything I got today!

  • 2 Listerine antiseptics
  • L'oreal HIP eye shadow
  • Sally Hansen nail polish
  • 2 Arm & Hammer Essentials
  • Crest Pro-Health rinse
  • 2 ThermaCare neck & shoulder packs
  • Halls Naturals 25 ct
  • Zantac 150 8 ct.
  • Benefiber 16 ct
  • EAS AdvantEdge bar
  • M&M's mini tubes
  • Excedrin express gel tabs
  • Powerade
  • 2 RightGuard clinical strength deodorants
A total value of $83.81!! Combined with last week's savings, I've purchased $172.18 of stuff with Jenna's $1 bill! I still plan to take Jenna's dollar with me next week.
