CVS Shopping Trip
3 Purex Laundry Detergents @ $5.99 – On Sale Buy 1 Get 2 Free
Used $3/2 coupon from the 5/4 RedPlum insert2 Colgate 360 Toothbrushes – $3.49 each (Buy 1, Get $2.50 ECBs)
Used 2 $1/1 coupon from the 4/27 SmartSource insert1 Wet & Wild Nail Polish – $0.99
Used $1/1 coupon from the 5/4 RedPlum insert2 Total Home Facial Tissue – $0.88 each (I wanted to use my $10 ECBs and they were out of several other sale items so I bought a few “filler” items to make my total $10. We desperately needed Kleenex so I was happy to get them “free” with my ECBs.)
1 Milky Way – $0.77 (Treat for my hubby!)
Used $10 ECBs from previous shopping trip
Total before coupons, sales and ECBs: $34.21
Total with tax ($0.49) after coupons, sales and ECBs: $1.83, Plus received $5 ECBs (for buying toothbrushes)
If you don’t have $10 ECBs and don’t want to pay that much out of pocket, you can split this shopping trip into 2 transactions. Buy the 2 Colgate Toothbrushes in Transaction #1 and pay $4.98 out of pocket. You will get $5 ECBs for buying the toothbrushes. In Transaction #2, buy the Purex, Nail Polish and Facial Tissue and use the $5 ECBs from Transaction #1 making it all free.

Hey Gretchen! I went to cvs and was confused. The purex coupon I have is for a larger size then the Buy one get two deal. Did they just run it for you anyway?
Thanks!

I went to CVS yesterday all excited to do the Wet and Wild deal only to find out that mine wasn’t running any sort of special on that or on the Neutrogena – very disappointing! I wonder if some of those deals are regional? Phooey.
Good for you, though!

Awesome job Gretchen, although you’re making me miss CVS. Since we moved, the nearest one is over an hour away. 🙁
