CVS Trip - 7/10 - All Free

Merchandise Total Value: $16.87
Out-of-Pocket: $4.48 (from a gift card) plus tax
Savings: $12.39 (73%) - actually FREE
ECBs Left for Next Time: $5.00

I spent most of my shopping time at Kmart his week, so I just stopped by CVS today during my lunch hour. I didn't know if they would have any of the deals left or not. I found a few things worth mentioning.

Transaction #1:
1 CVS pantiliners - $.89
2 CVS makeup removers (love these!) - $3.99 and $1.99
*These are buy 1 - get 1 50% off this week.
- $6.50 ECBs from last trip
Out-of-Pocket Total: $.37 plus tax (paid with gift card)
ECBs Earned: $.89 (pantiliners)


Transaction #2:
2 Post Trail Mix Crunch cereal - $3.33 each
1 Honey Bunches of Oats - $3.34
- $2.00 x 2 Trail Mix Crunch printable coupons (HERE)
- $1.00 ECB from last week
- $.89 ECB from transaction #1
Out-of-Pocket: $4.11 (paid with gift card)
ECBs Earned: $5.00

I would have only paid $2.11 OOP if they'd had one more Trail Mix Crunch. I had another coupon, but they only had two boxes left. This is still a great price for cereal!

Total Out-of-Pocket: $4.48 (gift card) - Technically $0 OOP
Savings: $12.39 (73%) - actually FREE
ECBs Left for Next Time: $5.00
If you're new to CVS shopping and this sounds confusing, please read my CVS shopping information HERE. It explains how this all works.
