Diapers, Paper Towels and Soap, oh my! (CVS 4/7)

Trans 1 (Monday):
  • 2 - Easter Baskets ($1.99 ea) = $3.98
  • 2 - Stayfree (clearanced @ $1.60 ea) used $2/2 and $2/1 CRT = -$.80
  • 1 - Skintimate @ $3.49 = $3.49
  • 1 - Peanut Butter Egg = $.50
  • 1 - Cadbury Egg = $.50
Total: $7.67 (paid with 7 ecbs and $.67 on a gift card)
ECBs: $3.98 for baskets, $4 for Stayfree (2 each), $3.49 for Skintimate

And then I had a $15/$75 CRT that I was determined to use! (Was too rushed on Monday)

Trans 2 (Tuesday):
  • 3 - Packages of Huggies ($10.00 ea) used three $5/1 MFCs = $15.00
  • 1 - 8 Pack of Bounty ($5.99) used $1/1 = $4.99
  • 2 - Stayfree (@ $2.39 ea) used $2/2 = $2.78
  • 1 - Kotex Liner (@ $1.49) used $2/1 CRT & $.75/1 = -$1.26
  • 1 - Tums @ $5.29 (was supposed to be $2.65... grr) used $2/1 CRT = $3.29
  • 1 - Diet Dr. Pepper that exploded in the bag ($1.59) used FREE coupon = FREE ($.05 )
  • 4 - Soft Soap Essentials ($3.99 ea) used four $2/1 MFC = $7.96
  • 1 - Accucheck Glucose Monitor = $9.99
  • 5 - Wrigley's Gums ($1.19 ea) used five free item coupons = FREE
Total: $28.31 (after $15 off) paid with $28 in ECBs and $.31 oop
Received: $10 ECBs for Huggies/baby, $4 for Stayfree, $9.99 for Accucheck, $8 for Soft Soap

I'll return the Tums... isn't it always the one time you don't price check?!?

What do you think, how'd I do? :)

8 gave me some sugar:

Great job with the $15/75.. I am so low on ECB, I don't know if I will attempt it. I love reading about the ideas though!

Debra said...

Chicagolandia said...

Amazing deals!!

Amy said...

I would love to be smart enough to do these deals! I am not very good at the ECB thing. Maybe I need to take a class from you LOL!

Sue said...

Hey, great job!! And btw, no, there were no probs with the Red Sox coupons...except for the lady behind me getting impatient! :o)

Heather said...

My CVS will only return up to the amount that you paid in cash or credit for a refund not in EB. Did your CVS let you return the tums or did you have to exchange them for something else?

Jamie @ I Am A Money Magnet said...

Way to go! I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to use my $15/$75 Crt!

Lindsay said...

KC, Debra, Chicagolandia, Sue, Jamie: THANK YOU! :)

Amy: You are smart enough! Anyone can do it as long as they have a coupons, and a calculator! :) Let me know if you need help!

Heather: Typically, they will give me store credit on a gift card. YMMV though. If you are worried, you can always return it without a receipt.
