CVS 2/15 and 2/19

I ended up going to CVS twice this week, which made me feel just slightly crazy...like those people who show up twice a day just to scan their card and try to get good coupons! (Yes, there really are people who do that!) It was worthwhile, though, because I found out that the diaper promotion had been extended, and we needed a new toothbrush for Jonathan anyway. :)

Here is the result of the first trip. I didn't keep all my receipts to detail this one for bloggyland, because I sent some off for rebates. Suffice it to say that my total oop was a little less than the cost of the diapers alone on a decent sale elsewhere. Since we needed the drano, crest, and toothbrushes, and the rest I can give away, I was pretty pleased. (Have I mentioned how much I enjoy being able to drop things into our church's basket each week? Blessed Sacrament sponsors a women's shelter in the area, and it makes me really happy to be able to support it in this way.)



The second trip:



I had such a nice clerk for this trip - she let me do three transactions and was happy to see me saving so much! I started out with $13 in ecbs ($2, $5, and $6):

Transaction #1

1.99 Suave body wash
1.99 Suave body wash
1.99 Suave body wash
1.99 toothbrush
2.99 Colgate
2.99 Colgate

- 1.50 colgate coupon
- 1.50 colgate coupon
- 3.00 free suave product
- 1.00 suave coupon
- 1.00 suave coupon
- 5.00 ecb
- 0.94 ecb (adjusted down from $2, unfortunately - I had thought that the "free product" coupon was only worth $2 instead of $3. Oh well!)

= 0.66 tax oop
received $5.98 and $2 in ecbs

Transaction #2

2.99 Colgate
3.99 Stayfree
2.49 CVS envelopes

- 1.50 colgate coupon
- 2.00 stayfree crt
- 6.00 ecb

= 0.09 tax oop
received $2.99 and $2 in ecbs

Transaction #3

8.99 Huggies
8.99 Huggies

- 1.50 huggies coupon
- 1.50 huggies coupon
- 5.98 ecb

= $9.99 oop
received $5 in ecbs

So my total oop spending was $10.74, and I still have $11.99 in ecbs. At another store, this oop amount wouldn't have paid for the diapers alone, even on sale with coupons. Thank you, CVS. :)
