I LOVE CVS

Okay, I know I have told you before I love shopping at CVS, but I really LOVE shopping at CVS. See, times have been pretty hard around here lately. Devon's work has been pretty slow, so we have had to be pretty tight with our money. That is what is so great about CVS when you shop there they give you ECBs, so it is kind of like shopping with play money. Tonight I went in with $12.00 ECB from last week.

This is what I bought:

Transaction 1: ($12.00 ECB aka play money to spend)

1-Kodak Picture Maker DVD 9.99

2- Speed Stick Deodorants 2.99

1- Johnson and Johnson Shampoo 2.99

1- Johnson and Johnson Lotion 2.99

2-1.50q Speed Stick

2- 1.00q Johnson and Johnson

I used my $12.00 ECB and had to pay 1.18oop. I received $9.99 ECB for the movie and $4.00 ECB for the Speed Stick.

Transaction 2: ($13.99 ECB aka play money to spend)

2- Paper Mate 10ct. pens .99 each

1- Colgate Maxfresh 2.99

2- SoBe Waters 1.59 BOGO

1- Band Aid 60ct 3.29

1- Hello Kitty/ Neosporian Value Pack 6.99

2- .50q Band Aid

1.00q Colgate

BOGOq SoBe

I used my ECBs and she handed me my bag. My total was ZERO! Can you believe that I paid nothing and I got 1.98 ECB for the pens, $5.00 ECB for the band aids and $1.00 ECB for the toothpaste.

So, I have $7.98 in ECB to spend next time. I LOVE shopping with play money!!!!!!! CVS is the best store on the planet!!!!!

Where can you go buy all of that stuff for $1.18?

*Anyone who wants to start CVSing just let me know I would so love to help you out because it is so much fun!

CVS Fun the Week of June 14

Okay, so I have been doing the whole CVS thing for a couple of weeks.  This week was AMAZING!  I thought I did a really good job on my bargains and I was really happy with the results.

Last week I got a coupon for $4 off $20.  This was my first time to get a coupon like this, so I wasn't sure how it worked.  But the $20 is before coupons, so I was really excited to use it.  

This is what I got:

1 Kotex Light days-48 count          3.50

1 Kotex Maxipads-22 count           3.50

1 Kellog Corn Pops                          1.88

1 Crest Pro Health Mouthwash     2.99

1 Purex 3 in 1                                    6.99

2 Dry Idea Deodorants                   5.29 B1G1

1 box Hefty One Zip Bags (6)         1.00

Total after coupons and $8 ECBs from last week: $5.34 yes, that is all I paid!  But wait it gets better... I received $6ECBs to spend this week, so really CVS paid me .66 to shop there today.  AMAZING!

They didn't have the razor that was on sale this week, so I got a raincheck.  I have never gotten a raincheck in my life, but for an $11.99 razor that I am going to get for .99.  You bet I will get a raincheck.

I can't wait to see what kind of deals I can get this week. 

                                          

CVS

I went to CVS tonight to see what kind of good deals I could find. I only did one transaction.

2 Dawn Detergents 2/$2

1 Gillette Fusion Razor $7.99

Gallon of Milk $2.69 (Just bought this because we were out:)

$.50 Dawn coupon

$4.00 razor coupon

Total $8.63 with 5ECBs for next week.

CVS Fun!

So, I don't think I have posted about my coupons yet. Right? Well, a few weeks ago I decided I was going to get serious about coupons. I did a little research online. I watched a YouTube video where someone showed their coupon binder and how it was set up (who knew there were YouTube videos about such things?) I headed out to WalMart and picked up a binder and some baseball card holders and I was one my way!

I am still very new to all of this and just trying to figure it all out! But I really want to be one of those people who go into a store and buy like $100.00 worth of stuff and only spend like $7.41. How cool would that be!

I follow this blog Mommy Snacks and she includes the sales each week for CVS. She has a link on her site for another blog where they host a $5.00 CVS challenge (you go into CVS and see how much you can buy for $5). So, I decided to try it today.

So here is what I bought:

Transaction 1: Colgate Total Toothpaste- 2.99 Band Aid (60 count)- 2.99 Playtex Tampons- 3.99 With my coupons and I had $2 ECB from last week I paid $5.55 and I got $7ECB Transaction 2: Revlon Nail Polish- 3.99 Speed Stick Pro Deodorant- 3.99 With my coupons and $5 ECB from transaction 1 I paid $1.98 and I got $6.99 ECB Transaction 3: 2 Olay Body Wash- 2/$12 2 Post Trail Mix Crunch cereal- BOGO First Aid Kit- .99 St Ive Apricot Scrub- 1.49 With my coupons and $8.99 ECB from transaction 2 I paid $1.78 and I got $5 ECB

In the end I spent $9.31 and I have 5 ECB left to spend! I had a fun time at CVS! I didn't think it was too bad for my first time;-)

Any couponers out there who would like to give a newbie advice I would love to hear it!
