Victorias Secret 85% savings
Victoria's Secret mails out decent coupons every now and then. Today I had one for $20 off any purchase. My (5 secret) items (also on sale) came to $26.30, which made my purchase price $6.30. That's right--I paid less for Victoria's Secret than people pay for fruit of the loom at Walmart.

CVS Black Friday freebies 98% savings
CVS had tons of everyday items free after extra bucks. I went in with $8 in extra bucks and a few coupons. At the end I still have $8.50 in extra bucks. Here's the trick. I picked out $10 in sale items, used two $1 coupons and my $8 in extra bucks, paying only for tax. Then I get back $10 in extra bucks. Put those items in the car, go back and get $14 in items, use 4 $1 coupons and $10 in extra bucks. This is easiest when the store is empty and the lines are short.
Cash paid $1.23; Value of items $55.67.

Glade smell goods (94% savings)
Cash paid $1.78 ($0.78 was tax!) Regular retail price $28.05 for a 94% savings. On top of that, $4 in ExtraBucks printed in my receipt for use on my next purchase. 3 coupons were from newspapers and one was a cvs coupon from their machine. 
Shopping prep-freebies
Thus week CVS is giving $4 EB when you buy $12 of glade products. I have $9 in coupons for these products. So I'll pay $3 (plus tax) and get $4 back in extra bucks. So in the end, they're going to pay me $1 to buy their products.
**correction** I just found 2 cvs coupons and one more $4 super market coupon. I may be able to buy all of this for $0! Will update when I get back.

Ebony Magazine P&G coupon insert
Same insert as described for Essence mag two days ago.
It's always a great to have two of each coupon because a lot of sales are buy one get one free (BOGO) or buy one get one half off (BOGO-1/2). Example: this coupon book has a coupon for $2 off CoverGirl NatureLux--a lip balm/tint/gloss hybrid that I love because it's so effortless that I don't even need a mirror. typical cost is $7.99/tube. CVS routinely puts CoverGirl on sale either BOGO, BOGO-1/2, or spend $15 get $5 ExtraBucks (EB) back. If it's BOGO, then the cost before coupons is $7.99 then use two $2 coupons bringing the price down to $3.99--that's less than $2 per tube. If it's EB back then the cost before coupons is $15.98, after coupons, 11.98. Then factor the $5 EB which brings the cost per tube down to around $3. Either scenario is well below half price of the retail value that other women pay.

Target beauty samples by mail
A month or so back I filled out an online for for free beauty samples from Target which arrived today. Yay!
Very pretty satin accessory bag contained the samples shown below including Ponds wet cleansing towelettes (chamomile and white tea) great for the ride home after the gym, or for my travel toiletries. Also included a booklet with $20 of *Target* coupons (this means I can double up using both a target coupon and a manufacturers coupon on a single item)
