CVS After Thanksgiving Deals!!

We went to CVS this afternoon since we were at my parents house for Thanksgiving and there is no CVS nearby! I was actually surprised that there were so many "Free after ECB" items left!! And John David tagged along with me too!!

Transaction #1:


1-Playtex Gentle Glide $3.99
1-Johnson's Soft Lotion $5.69
3-Gatorades $4.47
1-Aussie Conditioner $2.99
1-Kit Kat $1
1-Colgate Total $2.99
2-Loreal Lipglosses $13.98

Total: $35.11

Minus:
$5 ($5 off $30)
$1.00 Playtex Coupon
$1.50 Colgate Total Coupon
$27.00 (ECBs)

Total (including tax) $1.03

ECBs earned:
$3.00 Playtex
$5.69 Johnsons Lotion
$4.47 Gatorade
$2.99 Aussie
$2.99 Colgate
$13.98 Loreal


We then went to the other CVS across town to see if they had any of the items that were out of stock! I was hoping that we would find the headphones that were free after ECBs because headphones are something we use for filming and they were there!!

Transaction #2:


1-Phillips Headphones $6.99
3-Jello's $2.37

Minus:
$.55 Jello Coupon
$5.69 ECB
$3.00 ECB

Total (with tax): $.30

ECB's earned: $6.99

John David helped me with this one, once we found the headphones I was trying to find something we needed or was useful so I would have less out of pocket expense and he found the Jello and I remembered that I had a coupon for $.55 off 3!!

I now have $31.42 in ECBs (I started with $27 today) so I made $4.42 in ECBs, spent a grand total of $1.33, and have some great stuff (& lipgloss!!)
