Collective Wellbeing is a company that makes skincare, body care, and hair care products. Their products are 100% guaranteed and you will be impressed with their offerings. They have very unique products such as bamboo body scrub and charcoal body wash. Check out their site here.
I recently hear from Karen and Amy (thanks, ladies!) about how you can become a product tester for Collective Wellbeing and not only get products to try but earn rewards (i.e. free products) for helping them out.
I applied and was accepted. I received 2 small bottles to test and then a short survey to fill out. In a few weeks I will have a code so I can get some FREE products from the Collective Wellbeing product line. I love doing product tests and what a great reward for doing it!

As you can see I went shopping today! I don’t usually post my trips on the blog (only the CVS and Walgreens ones) but I have had a few emails from people who want to see what I buy! I’m afraid it is probably not so exciting! I bought 19 items at Publix this morning and spent just $19.02! I thought that was pretty good and I used coupons on every item I bought!
Without detailing every item, here are the highlights:
Sara Lee Dessert products, 50% off
Some were $3.99 regular price
With 50% off plus the $1.00 coupon they were $.99 each!
Steamfresh Vegetables, 50% off
Post Trail Mix Crunch, BOGO
Used 2 printable coupons for $2.00 off
This was a very successful trip and I even found 4 new Publix coupon booklets in the store! I love Publix coupon booklets, I’m off to clip and file right now!

I had to return something at a store near Target this morning and decided to see what was a good deal this week. We don’t have any Super Targets in my area so my Target is just a regular one. Before I went I checked out Collin’s comprehensive Target match-ups post on Hip2Save. It took me about 15 minutes to go through it and get my coupons ready. Because I had shopped at Target 3 weeks ago, I already had purchased many of the freebie items on her list.
I only had 13 items on my list and completely stuck to it. I had one coupon per item and ended up spending just $4.77 on all 13 items. Since the time before last when I had trouble with the cashier at Target, I was very calm when I approached and just told her not to scan some of the coupons, that she would have to enter them manually since the coupon amount exceeded the purchase price. She knew how to do it and the transaction went smoothly. That made me happy! Here’s what I got:
Hamburger Helper, On sale for $1.52 each
Bought 3
Used $1.00 when you buy 2 Target coupon
Used $.75 manufacturer’s coupon
Vaseline with Aloe Lotion, travel size, $.97
Used $1.00 coupon from the blue widget on my right sidebar
Bought 2 and used 2 coupons (cashier has to adjust coupon down)
Dove Visibly Smooth Deodorant, $2.29
Used $1.00 Target coupon from newspaper
Used $1.25 manufacturer’s coupon
Purell Travel Size Hand Sanitizer, $.99
Used $.60 manufacturer’s coupon
Almay Eye Make-up Remover Pads, $1.00 (travel size)
Used $1.00 Target coupon
Nexcare travel size band-aids for kids, $.97
Used $1.00 printable coupon
Bought 2 and used 2 coupons
Rayovac Batteries, $1.00 (in dollar section in store)
Used $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon from newspaper
Bought 3 and used 3 coupons
My total was $4.77 and I saved $12.83 according to my receipt!
