I am still stoked about this morning's trip to CVS so I just had to share. :) I went today to just pick up a very few things and ended up doing well, in my opinion. Here's what I got:
Being that its summertime and my kids are loving the outdoors, I'm seeing many more scrapes and scratches and they're certainly asking for Band-Aids frequently enough! Hannah in particular LOVES Band-Aids, so we keep a good stock when we can. Her favorite Band-Aids are the Toy Story band-aids, so when we ran out a couple of weeks ago, she was upset but making do with her Hello Kitty and Strawberry Shortcake bandages. ANYWAY. When I saw the CVS deal for $3 ECB when you buy $10 worth of Neosporin and/or Band-Aid products, I was excited. I headed on over and picked some up. I had a coupon for $1.50 off when you buy a Neosporin AND Band-Aid product, so of course I used that!
*NOTE: The register did NOT print up the $3 ECB's at first, but I pulled out the ad and showed the cashier that the ad didn't specify that the Band-Aids had to be plain ol' Band-Aids...just $10 worth of Band-Aid and/or Neosporin products. She was awesome and agreed with me, so she printed them up for me, but just so you know...the character Band-Aids might give you a problem if you try to get the ECB's by buying them!
I also saw that they were running a B1G1 free sale on Scotch tape. Since Chris has been developing and expanding his at-home business of selling online (through Amazon and half.com) he does a lot of shipping, so it was worth it to pick up some tape for when he needs to secure the bigger packages. I had lots of coupons (printed through a link I got off the Southern Savers site) and, since they were B1G1 free, I could use TWO coupons for each set. :) So the rolls of Magic tape that were $1.99 ended up being FREE after using my two $1 off coupons. The packing tape was $4.99 and B1G1 free as well, so after using two $1 off coupons I spent $2.99 for those two rolls.
All in all, my subtotal before coupons SHOULD have been $21.12...however, I had $7.50 in coupons, bringing the total down to $13.62. I then used my ECB's from last week's trip, which totaled $13.49. When the tax and everything got adjusted, it ended up that they OWED me money. They are not allowed to give me money back, so I ended up buying a king-size Snickers and a king-size pack of M&M's for Chris (Happy Father's Day!), which brought my subtotal to $0.13. After adding the tax on these items to that $0.13, I ended up paying $1.53 out of pocket. I also walked away with $3 ECB for next week. NICE.
*ANOTHER NOTE: They have a promotion right now for Mars candy products...spend $10 and get $3 ECB's. These were $1 each and count as 2 of my 10, so I might be heading back to stock up on more chocolate if I can hunt down some decent coupons to "sweeten" the deal (pun intended!)...
So what about you? Any awesome deals you've caught or thought about? Let me know!!
