My CVS Shopping Trip 7-31-11

After such a busy week last week, I was eager to get out and do some shopping this afternoon while the kids napped. I headed to CVS first and scored a few things there - they didn't have much that I wanted/needed, but I did get a few good deals. I started with 7.99 in ECB's. Here's what I bought:

Next week, CVS will have their Skinny Cow chocolate candy (singles) on sale for $0.99, with a $0.99 ECB, making them free. However, there should be a B1G1 free coupon in the Red Plum insert in this Sunday's paper for Skinny Cow singles. Buy two, use the B1G1 free coupon - pay $0.99 for both, get a $0.99 ECB - makes both candies free!!

My CVS Shopping Trip 7-18-11

I had to run to the Post Office this morning (yay for selling on eBay!), and our CVS is right next door, so I ran in for the one deal I wanted this week. There wasn't much to get excited about in this week's ad, but I did managed to get some super cheap shampoo & conditioner. I started with $6.69 in ECB's from last week. Here's what I bought:

My CVS Shopping Trip 7-11-11

The kids and I loaded up early for our walk this morning (it's in the 90's here with a heat index of almost 110 - too hot to breathe, let alone walk after about 9:00 in the morning), and after our walk and a little playtime, we headed on over to CVS and Rite Aid. We hit CVS first and scored some deals.

We have one little CVS in our whole county, and it's getting to the point if I don't get there on Sunday afternoon, I end up having to get rain checks for what I want. I only had to get one today, so it wasn't too bad. I started with $11.79 in ECB's from last week. Here's what I bought:

1 Balance Bar (reg. price $1.99, on sale for $1.69 - buy 1, get $1.69 ECB's)

1 box Pampers Cruisers (reg. price $22.99, on sale for $19.99 - buy 1, get $5.00 ECB's)

Total after sale prices and coupons - $2.89 + tax

I earned $6.69 in ECB's for this transaction as well.

I had to get a rain check for the Bic Soleil Shimmer razors that were on sale - the good thing about CVS rain checks is that they never expire!

My CVS Shopping Trip 7-8-11

Before our morning walk today, the kiddos and I headed out to CVS. I didn't really plan on going this week, but I knew the Coupon Center was printing some really great coupons, and I had a couple of rain checks I needed to use, so off we went. I only used one of my rain checks (did you know they never expire?), and a couple of the coupons that printed today. I was really excited about the $3.00 off any $15.00 baby product purchase coupon that is currently printing - this will be put to great use next week when their Pampers diapers are on sale!

I stared with $8.79 in ECB's, but also had $2.00 in quarterly ECB's print at the Coupon Center for my 2nd quarter spending. This gave me a total of $10.79 in ECB's. Here's what I bought:

2 Crest Pro-Health Mouthwashes (reg. price $5.89 - I had a rain check for $4.49 each - buy 1, get $2.50 ECB's)

1 Starburst Jellybeans (reg. price $2.99)

$4.00 in ECB's

Total after sale and coupons - $1.97 + tax

I also earned $5.00 ECB's for this transaction, giving me $11.79 ECB's for next week!

My CVS Shopping Trip 6-26-11

While the kids napped this afternoon (I said this last week, and my husband asked me "You think you should tell them I was home with the kids so they don't think you left them alone?". So let me say - I did not leave the kids alone - their Dad was home while they napped. There, honey - is that better? :-) ) Anyway, while the kids napped, I headed out to CVS and Rite Aid to pick up a few things. My first stop was CVS. I didn't get much, but they didn't really have any super great deals that I wanted. I started with $10.00 ECB's. I only did one transaction.

1 RepHresh Brilliant Tampons (reg. price $6.99, on sale for $6.79 - buy 1, get $6.79 ECB's)

2 Pantene products (reg. price $4.99 each, on sale for 2/$6.97 - buy 2, get $2.00 ECB's)

I earned $8.79 ECB's for this transaction as well! Not a great week, but not too bad!

My CVS Shopping Trip 6-19-11

After I left Rite Aid this afternoon, I headed to CVS. Again, shopping along is a rare treat for me! I was in and out in no time! I started with $8.00 in ECB's from last week. I did three transactions today. Here's the breakdown of what I bought:

Transaction #1

1 Hershey's Bliss chocolates (reg. price $5.99 - buy 1, get $5.99 ECB's)

$9.49 ECB's from my second transaction and last week

Total after sales and coupons - $15.55 + tax

I earned $10.00 ECB's from this transaction. NOTE: I made a mistake on the Colgate 360 TB. I thought the $2.00 ECB would print, but it didn't. I forgot that there was a limit of 2 on that deal, and I used both of mine for the toothpaste in transaction #2. I thought about returning it, but I don't think I will. I get such great deals at CVS, so it doesn't bother me that bad. It's one of those live and learn things, and I'll be sure to pay better attention next time.

Total retail value of all items - $64.09

Total OOP (out of pocket) price - $15.63 + tax

Plus, I have $10.00 ECB's towards my purchase next week!

My CVS Shopping Trip 6-13-11

I went to CVS this morning after the kids got up. I find if I don't get there early in the week, they are out of some of the stuff I want and I have to get rain checks. I started out with $5.00 ECB's. I did three transactions this week. Here's what I bought:

Transaction #1

1 Zyrtec 5 ct. (reg price $6.99, on sale for $5.99 - buy 1, get $5.99 ECB's)

1 Bayer Advanced Aspirin (reg. price $4.29, on sale for $3.00 - buy 1, get $1.00 ECB)

Total before sale prices applied - $11.28

Total after sale prices - $8.99

I used the following coupons:

(1) $2.00 off any Zyrtec product, exc. trial size (found here) (NOTE - The 5 ct. is not considered trial size)

(1) $2.00 off Bayer Advanced Aspirin (Smart Source insert, 6/12)

$5.00 ECB's from last week (took $4.99 off)

Total after sale prices and coupons - $0.00 + tax

I earned $7.99 ECB's from this transaction ($5.99 and $1.00, plus $1.00 for my Green Bag Tag)

Transaction #2

1 Schick Hydro 5 Razor (reg. price $9.99, on sale for $8.00 - buy 1, get $4.00 ECB's)

1 Motrin PM (reg. price $5.99, on sale for $4.00 - buy 1, get $3.00 ECB's)

Total before sale prices applied - $15.98

Total after sale prices - $12.00

I used the following coupons:

(1) $4.00 and Schick Hydro Razor (Smart Source insert, 6/12)

(1) $1.00 off Motrin PM (found here)

$6.99 ECB's from my first transaction

Total after sale prices and coupons - $0.01 + tax

I earned $7.00 ECB's from this transaction ($4.00 and $3.00)

Transaction #3

1 Motrin PM (reg. price $5.99, on sale for $4.00 - buy 1, get $3.00 ECB's)

Total before sale prices applied - $5.99

Total after sale prices - $4.00

$3.00 ECB's from my second transaction

Total after sale prices and coupons - $0.00 + tax

Total retail value of all items purchased - $33.25

My total cost OOP (out of pocket) - $0.01 + tax

This week is a great example of why I often do multiple transactions to have the lowest OOP expense. If I had done only one transaction, I would have spent $9.99 + tax OOP and had $13.99 ECB's left. Instead, I spent $0.01 + tax and have $8.00 ECB's left. More ECB's, yes, but also more money spent.

My CVS Shopping Trip 6-11-11

I made it to CVS for the third time last week yesterday afternoon. They were out of the Crest mouthwash I wanted, but I got a rain check for it. Did you know that when you get a rain check at CVS on an item that has an ECB with it that week, when you redeem the rain check, CVS will print the ECB for you at that time? Sweet! I started with $5.00 ECB's. Here's what I bought yesterday:

Transaction #1

1 Oral-B Pulsar toothbrushes (reg. price $6.89, on sale for $6.00 - buy 1, get $3.00 ECB's)

Total before sale prices applied - $6.89

Total after sale prices applied - $6.00

I used a $3.00 off any Oral-B power toothbrush coupon from last Sunday's P&G insert and $3.00 in ECB's from last week.

Total after sales and coupons - $0.00 + tax

Transaction #2

I did the exact same transaction as the first one, using the $3.00 ECB I received as well.

Total amount out of pocket for both toothbrushes - $0.00 + tax.

I have $5.00 ECB's remaining for this week.

My CVS Shopping Trip 6-9-11

I took the kids to the park to play this morning, so I decided to swing by CVS on my way. When I was there yesterday, the Coupon Center printed out a $3.00 off any $10.00 cosmetic purchase, so I had to put a coupon like that to good use! I started with $4.00 ECB's from yesterday. Here's what I bought:

2 Loreal Paris Lipsticks (reg. price $10.79, on sale for $5.00 - buy $10.00, get $3.00 ECB's)

(2) $1.00 off any Loreal Paris item (found here - do any of the Can I Help You? programs)
