Downy $3.99 (Did I mention I was TOTALLY out?)
2 Sally Hansen polishes (more for my cousin) $4.19
4 Glade air fresheners $0.88 each

$2 off any CVS skincare coupon (here)
$4 off any $20 purchase (previous receipt coupon)
$1 Kashi cereal coupon (here) - Used 2 (You can print 2.)

$3 off 2 Sally Hansen polishes (here)

Used $5 ECBs from transaction #3
OOP $6.40 plus tax
Earned $2 ECBs (Oral B)

This is a little more out-of-pocket than I like to spend, but we were totally out of Downy, my husband had specifically requested Kashi cereal, and we're almost out of our daughter's sunscreen. I spent $15.54 plus tax out of my own pocket. That's what I would have paid for the sunscreen and Downy at Wal-Mart. In addition, I got the two packs of wipes from my daughter's preschool supply list, and I got several household items that we needed. I will be donating at least two of the air fresheners (which I used as fillers) and both toothbrushes. The nail polishes go toward my cousin's Christmas gift (the wild colors aren't for me!). So overall, it was a good deal.
