CVS Again....

Ok, so I've been a little on the down side as of late and so a little retail therapy always works right? Well, let me show you what I got for a grand total of $3.48.
I did 3 transactions today. I have never done that before and really I could have gotten away with only 2, but I didn't know that at the time. Usually one of the coupons that prints up at the end is a $3.00 off a purchase of $15.00 or more. That coupon only printed after my first transaction today. Oh, well live and learn right?

Transaction # 1
1 Nivea for Men Shaving Gel $2.79
1 Nivea for Men Extreme Comfort Shaving gel $3.99
1 Nivea for Men Extreme Comfort Shaving gel $3.99
1 Brut Deodorant $2.89
1 Brut Deodorant $2.89
1 CVS Nail Polish Remover $1.49
1 Orbit Bubble Gum $1.19

Coupons I used
.55 off Brut Deodorant
.55 off Brut Deodorant
$4.00 off 2 Extreme Comfort Shaving Gel

Extra Care Bucks I had
$3.98
$6.98
$3.00 off $15.00 purchase

for a grand total of .52 out of pocket.

For buying $10. of Nivea I got another $5.00 in ECB (remember that I had a coupon so I only really paid $6.77)

For buying the Brut I got $3.00 back for each one....wait it was on sale for less then that and then I had .55 coupons...THEY PAID ME to take it out of their store.

Now I had $11.00 in ECB and another $3.00 off $15 coupon. So off to do transaction # 2.

I got
1 Listerine Smart Rinse for $3.49
1 M & M Plain for $5.99
1 M & M Peanut for $5.99
1 Orbit Gum $1.19

Total
$16.66

Used $3 off $15. for a total of $13.66 and then used ECB to bring it down to $.22 out of pocket. I made $5.00 for purchasing the M & M's and $3.49 for the Listerine for a total of $8.49 in ECB. This time a 3/15 did not print....bummer.

Transaction # 3
4 12 Packs of Dt. Coke for $11.oo
1 package of CVS Cotton Balls $1.69

Total
$12.69

Used $10 ECB and paid $2.74 out of pocket. I was the printed up $3.00 ECB for the Dt. Coke.

I went in with around $22.00 ECB and purchased my merchandise and still have $ 12.49 in ECB for next weeks trip! I think I'm getting the hang of this.

I then had a coupon from Albertson's for $.25 off gas. I went and filled up and got $4.00 back in cash so that paid for my CVS trip. I feel a little better now.
