This is what I bought with $15.

$10 from Walgreen
4 cartoon of Breyer Ice cream, 2 Pert Shampoos, 2 Herbal hair conditionals, 1 country crock spread, 1 Bic Man disposable shaver (4 in a pack), 1 occupational Pen, 1 Rimmel Lasting Finish.

$5 from CVS
1. Revlon foundation, 2 kellogg cereal, 2 natural bounty evening primrose (60 capsules in a pack)

This is how I do it :

There is a $5 coupon from Walgreen this week for this Friday and Saturday.

Walgreen deal :

Ice cream is 2 for $7 and 4 for $14, the spread is 2 for $3 and 1 for $1.50
There is a buy $15 and get a $5 reward from Walgreen this week on these products.
I have 2 x $1 Ice cream coupons and 1x 35cents spread coupon from the local newspaper.

The Rimmel foundation is $7.49 and there is a $7.49 rebate for October so make the foundation free.

The Herbal essence is buy 1 get the other 50% and that make 2 of them $6 (1 is $3.99 and the next one is $2)
I have 2 x $3 coupon from the local newspaper this week, make these 2 conditional free.

The Pert shampoo is 99cent each. I read from hot coupon world dot com forum that Pert shampoo is very good bathroom cleaner :).

The occupational pen is $1.99.

The shaver is $3.99 and Walgreen has a $1 coupon and I have a $2 coupon.

So I spend $15.50 (ice cream + spread) + $6 (Herbal essence conditional) + $2 (Pert shampoo) +$7.49 (Rimmel foundation) $3 shaver + $2 pen -> $35.99

Coupon = $5 (printed) + $6 (shampoo) + $2 (shaver) + $2.35 (ice cream+spread) = $15.35
Rebate = $7.49 (Rimmel foundation)
Cash back for next shopping = $5 (ice cream + spread’s deal)

$35.99 (Cost ) - $15.35 - $7.49 - $5 (Coupons , rebate, cash back) = 8.15

Tax ~ 2.33

So total ~ $10.48

CVS deal :

I bought the Revlon foundation a couple of week ago when they have the deal of cash back.

It was $4.98 and get $4.98 cash back reward.

So, I used the $4.98 to buy these :

1. 2 natural bounty evening primrose oil vitamin
2. 2 Kellogg cereal

There is a B1G1 free deal for natural bounty vitamin this week and you can print a $2 coupon from the web site : here

And also this week, there is a $2 cash back reward for natural bounty vitamin.

So, the 2 vitamin was $8.99 and I have 2 $2 coupons + $4.98 cash back reward from Revlon foundation, so total $8.99-$4-$4.98 = $0.01

and with my $2 cash back from the vitamin I bought 2 kellogg cereal, it was 2 for $4
I print 2 $1 coupon from coupon.com
So I pay $4- $2(coupon) - $2(cash back) = $0
