CVS, Finally a Good Week!

CVS has been sort of dead for a while. I haven't been able to roll my ECBs and I've been waiting for something worth spending on. Last week I picked up some Starbucks, but really that was the only thing worth buying.

Please excuse this terrible photo!

CVS= Free food and Sunblock

Today I headed over to CVS to snag some of the sunscreen that's on sale. I was a little worried since it was an unadvertised deal (so I thought). But when I arrived my cvs actually had a tag on the shelf clearing stating that the 2oz size that retails for $2.19 IS included in the buy 2, get $5ECB!

More Men's Stuff-CVS

Since I didn't make it to CVS/Rite Aid until today (sat) this week's sales are over I'm just going to post my OOP, not all the coupons used.


Paid $0.45 cents! (paid with $12 ECBS and my subtotal was negative! Score)
Got back $4.00 ECB on the fusion and $1.00 ECB on the deodorant Plus I'll submit the MIR on the Schick quattro to get back the $8.99 I paid.

Next transaction was:

$0.00 out of Pocket (yes...FREE). The cashier adjusted my ECB down and let me use it to pay for tax! Big time Score. I think this happened because the cashier totaled everything and then I presented my ECBS. Typically I hand over coupons and then ECBS right after. I think from now on I'll try waiting and keep the ECBS in my wallet to use like cash.

Got back $3.00 ECB on the Crackers, $4.00 ECB on the floss, and $1.00 on the deodorant

2/4 CVS- Sauce, PB, and Body wash (strange combo, I know)

This morning's CVS trip resulted in...
Transaction One:
Bought:
1 Dove Men's bodywash $5.49
1 Colgate toothpaste reg $2.99

Coupons Used:
(1) $1.25 Dove coupon from 1/31 SS
(1) $1.00 Colgate coupon from 1/31 SS

OOP=$0.82 ($0.59 was sales tax) for $8.55 worth of merchandise.
Got back $5.49 ECB and $2.00 ECB

I don't typically buy pasta sauce unless it's free because A- I make my own and it's much tastier and B- it's on my "never buy again" (you know, toothpaste, pasta sauce, cereal, the stuff that you can always get for free with the right combo of coupons) list. But I had some ECBs expiring this week, so figured I may as well spend them on something that will get ECBS back.
