A CVS Run

Well, I had to go to 2 stores, and I got some stuff I hadn't planned to get, but I used up some ECBs that were going to be expiring on me this week. I still have a ton of ECBs that I need to use, though. And I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them. I may just have to burn them, but that will be really painful. We'll see. I can always get toilet paper.



Here's what I got in 2 transactions.

Transaction #1

1 Revlon Mineral Mousse - $9.99 w/$9.99 ECBs with Raincheck
1 Softsoap - $4.99 w/$4 ECBs with Raincheck, used $1 MFC
1 Basketball - $1.29 on clearance
1 Bamboo Skewers - $.19 clearance
1 Kabob Rack - $.69 clearance
1 Grill brush - $.49 clearance
1 Grill Cover - $.89 clearance
1 CVS Mouthwash - $1.99, used free item CRT

So here's the thing, we don't have a grill. DH says he wants to get one next summer. Hopefully we will, since now we have a bunch of grilling stuff. Oh well, at least it was really cheap.

Total Cost: $20.64
Coupons: $6.99
ECBs: $13
GC: $.65
OOP: $0

And I got back $16 in ECBs. I was only expecting $14, but I realized when I got home that $2 printed on my receipt for the Softsoap. So that one ended up being a double dip, and I didn't even realize it. So I made a profit of $2.35.

Transaction #2

2 Aussie Conditioner - $2.99 w/$2 ECBs ea
2 Crest w/Scope Toothpaste - $3.49 w/$2.50 ECBs ea, used 2 $1 coupons from the P&G rebate booklet
2 Throat Coolers - $4.99 w/$4.99 ECBs ea with Raincheck, used 2 $.50 coupons

Total Cost: $23.18
Coupons: $7
ECBs: $15.97
GC: $.21
OOP: $0

And I got back $19 in ECBs, for a $2.82 profit.

Neither of the stores in town that I visited had the Lifelock thingy, but I made it work. Right now, I'm running an almost $20 profit at CVS for the year. I'm afraid that won't last, since I'll have to use some of the ones I have now before they expire. We'll see. :)
