My awesome week at CVS 7/20/08 - 7/26/08

This week I made three trips to CVS - a first for me.

Transaction #1

4 12 packs of Diet Pepsi (4/$11)
1 - L'Oreal Vive Shampoo ($4.99 ea B1G1)
1 - L'Oreal Vive Conditioner ($4.99 ea. B1G1)
2 - Trident Xtra Care Gum ($1.49 ea. B1g1)
$4.80 in bottle deposit

- $3/$15 CVS coupon
- L'Oreal BOGO manufacturer coupon
- Trident BOGO manufacturer coupon
- $3.00 in ECBs

Total spent before coupons: $28.76
Total after coupons: $9.80
Total saved: $27.12
ECBs earned: $4.00

This purchase made me regret living in Michigan, mainly because of the bottle deposit. If we did not have that, my total would have been $5.00.

Transaction #2

8 packs of CVS wipes ($2.00 each)
2 cans of Pledge ($4.59 each)
2 American Greetings cards ($2.99 each)

- $3/$15 CVS coupon
- $16.00 in CVS skincare coupons (8 @ $2.00 each)
- Pledge BOGO manufacturer coupon
- American Greeting BOGO manufacturer coupon

Total spent before coupons: $31.16
Total after coupons: $5.31
Total saved: $34.50
ECBs earned: $7.00

This was, by far, my best trip. My cashier pushed through all $16.00 worth of skincare coupons without batting an eyelash.

Transaction #3

8 packs of Trident Xtra Care gum ($1.49 each)
3 packs of 15 count CVS facial wipes ($2.99 each)

Total spent before coupons: $20.89

To recap:
