Walgreens 05/23/2011

CVS Shopping 05/22/2011

So this week's shopping trip at CVS was awesome! Here's the details!

So this is what I got:

Irish Springs 2/$7 get $5ECB - $1/1 CVS Coupon 

Purex laundry detergent $1.98 - $1 printable coupon

ThermaCare + Advil buy 2 get $5ECB - $3/1 CVS Q for thermacare, $5/2 MQ for advil + therm combo printable, and $2/1 off Advil printable

Always Infinity $7.99 get $3ECB - $1/1 MQ 5/1SS

Listerine cool mint $2.99 get $1ECB - $1/1 MQ printable  

Coppertone sport $11.29 x 2 get $8ECB - 2 x $1/1 MQ printable

Suave deal: 

4 bodywash, 2 deodorant Spend $10 get $3ECB - 2 x B1G1 MQ 5/22RP with 2 x $0.50/1 MQ 5/22 RP for deodorant.

I also used $15ECB from previous trips and a 10% beauty coupon that printed on my last trip that expired today (total $2.21 off)

Total OOP = 25.77 + tax Total ECB back = $25

NET OOP = $0.77 + tax

I contemplated the Nivea deal but opted against it.. Nivea at my store was almost $9 a bottle and didn't seem to make it worth the spend $15 get $5 ECB.

All in all I had a pretty good trip.. I was able to make sure I have some $ECB for next week.. and the best part (which is printed on your receipt at the bottom before ECB) I think is:

CVS Spring 2011 Year to date Savings: $55.14

Spring 2011 Spending: $52.17

Which means so far CVS has paid me $3.00 yay!

CVS Shopping 05/15/2011

So this is my third CVS couponing trip..

I will briefly recap the first two trips as that's how I had ECB to use on this trip.

Trip 1:  The first trip I made.. they were out of the ivory 3pck and the Right Gaurd B1G1 so I got rainchecks that were used in this trip... I only purchased the 2 packs of colgate 2.77/each - $1/1 MQ -$-0.75/1MQ. I also purchased the green bag tag ($0.99) at this trip so as to get $1ECB after every 4 scans. 

Total OOP = $4.79 + $5.54ECB. Net OOP = 0

Trip 2: Revlon makeup trip. I found an eye mascara for 8.89 - $2/1 peely and an eye shadow for $6.99 paired with $2/1 MQ and $3/10 cosmetic purchase CVS coupon. 

Total OOP = $8.98 + $7ECB. Net OOP = $1.98

So on to Trip 3 the important one:

This is what I got:

Gatorade $2/6

Irish Spring bar of soap 3pack $0.88 - $1/1 CVS coupon

Lady Speed Stick $2.99 + $2ECB - $1/1 CVS coupon (forgot to stack it with the $0.50/1MQ so don't forget that like I did!)

2 x Neutrogena Sunscreen $8.99/each + $10ECB (for spending $15) - 2 x $2/1MQ RP 5/15

2 x Right Gaurd Body Wash $2.99/each + $2ECB - BIGI MQ 5/1 

Ivory bar of soap 3pack $0.99 - $1/1 MQ

2 x Sunday paper $2.00/each

Paired with $5/15 CVS coupon that had printed on my last receipt and $12.54ECB from the first two trips

Total OOP = $7.30 + $15ECB ($1 extra with the green bag scan)

Many of my deal matchups come from Money Saving Mom to start coupled with Budget Savvy Diva and a few others.. More details to come later. 

All in all I'd say it was a good day.. Let me know what you think/suggestion/etc.. Next trip planned: Walgreens!
