CVS Trip - 7/19

Starting ECBs: $12.95
Merchandise Value: $32.42
Out-of-Pocket: $.18 plus tax
ECBs Earned: $12.87
Savings: 99%

My favorite cashier was working at CVS today! Yay! She never minds when I use a gazillion coupons, and she's so sweet! It makes CVSing even more fun! I gave her one of blog site business cards, so maybe she's stopping by today. (Hi, Nancy!)

This was probably one of my best ever CVS deals. I recently cashed out my Coke Rewards points for a road trip we took. We just didn't use all of the coupons for free 20 oz. products, so I thought I'd use them to boost my CVS total over $30. That way I could use the $5 off $30 coupon I got via email.

What I Bought:
2 packs of CVS brand filler paper - $2.00 each
2 packs Papermate 1.2 pens - $.99 each
7 Coke Zero/Cherry Coke 20 oz. bottles - $1.50 each
1 Gatorade 24 oz. - $1.69
2 Speedstick Pro men's deodorants - $2.99 each
1 Colgate MaxFresh toothpaste - $2.99
1 CVS pantiliners - $.89
1 4-pack Duracell AA batteries - $2.99
2 bags Lifesavers jelly beans (clearance) - $.70 each
Merchandise Total: $32.42

Coupons Used:
-$5.00 off $30.00 purchase CVS coupon I received via email
-$.75 off Duracell coupon from 7/12 insert
-2 $1.50 off Speedstick printable coupons (HERE)
* not available in all zip codes
* I just noticed that my second Speedstick coupon only scanned for $.15!
-7 FREE Coke product coupons (-$1.50 each)
-1 FREE Gatorade coupon - $1.39 max.
* This was only good for smaller bottles, not B1G1 deal.
* I can't remember where the Gatorade coupon came from!
-$12.95 ECBs from previous purchases

Out-of-Pocket: $.18 plus tax
ECBs Earned for Next Week: $12.87

I'm already starting to stash things away for our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, so the deodorant and toothpaste for those. I have to double-check to see if pens are allowed or if it's only pencils. If pens are allowed, those are going in the shoebox storage area too!
