Quick CVS Savings

I have been dying to share this with you for several days, but I simply have not had the time to write this....hopefully I'll get it out right now (Nicole is playing with Play-doh and Hannah is trying to take a nap).

I went to CVS Tuesday night with my trusty friend Teri. We racked up!

I bought approx $125 worth of stuff.

I spent $3.35 cash out of pocket

I earned $30 in Extra Care Bucks.

So...where did the rest of the money come from that I used to buy my stuff...from coupons and ECB. I made 5 different transactions....Let's see if I can explain.

*Deal: If you buy $20 in Duracell batters, you get $15 ECB (do this deal 3x)

*I had 3 coupon for $5.00 off of two packs of batteries (therefore I got the batteries "for free

after ECB)

*I also had some little $.75 off coupons for batteries

*Deal: Buy $10 in Glade products, receive $5 ECB (do this deal 5x)

*I had a TON of Glade coupons, including several Buy One Get One Free

*Deal: Buy Loreal Age perfect cream for $15.99, get $15.99 ECB...so it was free after ECB

It would be crazy for me to actually type out my transactions (I will though if you want)...but I will detail what I got.

6 packs of batteries (3 AA and 3 AAA....all 6 packs had 16 batteries in them)

2 Glade plug in (with 2 refills in each pack)

2 Glade plug in twin pack refills

4 Glade candles

4 Glade Glass Scents

2 Glade scented oil candles

1 Deodorant

1 Loreal Age Perfect cream

I'm very excited because now I have $30 ECB for their "black Friday" event...which actually starts Thanksgiving day (guess who'll be there at 7am?)

Then, Wednesday night I took my friend Jami to CVS to show her the ropes...I think she's addicted now. She could only do the battery deal twice (because I only had two other $5/2 packs coupons), but she did the Glade deal 5 times I think. Anyway....here's a snippet of her e-mail. I'm just FLABERGASTED at the savings I saved tonight that I had to share numbers with you!!! I bought $79.27 worth of products in total spent a total of $4.58 which is a savings of $74.69 PLUS I walked out with $12 in care bucks!!! It was very fun to share the excitement with a friend. Yay!!! So...I'm set on batteries for a little while. Next week they have another great deal I can't wait for...I'll share more about that later though. OK...off to play with play-doh (don't I have a great job?)
