CVS 10/5-10/11

So my CVS posts have been a bit absent of late - my apologies. Here was my run for this week, and what a great week it was!

Transaction One
  • Bic Soleil Razor $5.99
  • Tylenol Gels $6.00
  • Vitamin Water $2.29
  • Always Infinity $4.98
  • Colgate Toothpaste $2.99
Total + tax: $22.31

Used:
$2 off Bic, available here
$2 off Tylenol (9/14 Red Plum)
$1 off Colgate Max (9/28 SmartSource) + $1 CVS Register Coupon for Colgate

$14.99 in ExtraCare bucks

Total Out-of-Pocket: $1.32
ECB's Earned: $13.27


Transaction Two
  • Tylenol PM Gelcaps $6.00
  • (2) Children's Tylenol $6.00 each
  • CVS Kid's Hand Sanitizer $1.99
Total: $19.99

Used:
$2 off Tylenol PM (9/7 RedPlum)
$2 off (2) Children's Tylenol (9/14 SmartSource)

$13.27 in ECBs

Total Out-of-Pocket: $2.72
ECBs earned: $11.00

I was pretty pleased with these deals, but my savings could've been better. I bought the kids sanitizer because I thought I needed a filler item (so that my total was enough that I could use all my ECBs earned in the previous transaction), but I didn't need it after all. So if I hadn't bought that, I would've only paid $0.72 for the second transaction, and would have earned $10 in ECBs instead of $11. But as I reminded myself on the trip home, it's still only $4 for all those items. :-)

  1. Missed seeing you yesterday...
    Yeah, I hate it when I realize I could have done a deal differently and saved like thirty cents but like you said, I have to remind myself that in the long run it's not the end of the world...or like the other day when the cashier at wal-mart didn't scan one of my $1 off coupons, I had already saved like $15 and one of the coupons was kind of weird so she was worried about doing it right. I didn't have the heart to ask her to fix it.
