cvs trip August 9 ~ $1.94

Hello Everyone!  I had a quick trip into CVS this morning.  It didn’t take me more than 10 minutes to grab my goodies, pay a whopping 1 dollar and 94 cents, and head back home to my sleepy eyed husband. I think I did pretty good ~ If you go to the store right now to buy a tooth brush, you are probably going to pay 2 bucks…   I get all giddy when I think that it is like I bought a tooth brush and got everything else for free! Here is the breakdown 2 snickers bars  @ .50 = $1.00 ~ used $1.oo off 2 coupon ~ both for free 1 speedstick deodorant @ $2.50 ~ used $1.oo CVS coupon...

CVS trip July 12 ~ $1.81

I started my morning in the lounge with free decaf coffee, strawberry nutri-grain bar and a fresh orange.  Pat and I headed to our neighborhood CVS, but ended up in at totally different area at a different CVS ~ thanks TomTom!  lol This CVS just opened at 8am, no one was there, just a lonely guy by himself in the store.  Nothing was tagged for the sale and this CVS was the most cramped CVS I ever been to!   Good thing I was prepared to do my shopping!  First Transaction: Folders @ .05 ~ bought 10 Packs of pens @ .99 ~ bought 2 received $1.98 ECB (free) Bottles of glue @ .99 ~ bought...

I have been out of the CVS loop for a couple few months… and decided this week was a great week to get back into my weekly CVS trip. When all is said in done, it is kind of like I made money. CVS gave me $7.39  for shopping today! It was a very simple transaction… we like soy joy bars, they make a great snack for Pats lunch… and for every 4 bars CVS gave me $4.00 in ECB money, the drinks, and the picture was handed to me completely free. And seriously, who does not like completely free stuff!    I tried to break it down in the chart below…  It is so simple once...

Hey everyone!  As you know I have been clipping coupons and trying to save some money.  Some of these frugal shoppers are totally amazing!  Just visit the centsible sawyer, scroll down the post and see links from other people describing and showing off their great deals from CVS. Go ahead and click around, these people know how to save!  I went to CVS today. My plan was to earn as many Extra Care Bucks as dollars I spent.   ECB = extra care buck, which is like paper money for CVS when purchasing special items. It prints with your receipt when at the register. At home tonight, I was...
