My CVS Trip 8/21/10

I do love it when you go in & everything works out like you planned, or in this case, even better. I did 4 transactions, the last transaction was because they only had 3 bags of the Emerald glazed nuts that were BOGO and I forgot to ask before I started how they would handle that extra bag.

I started with $3 EB.

Transaction #1
Purchased:
3 candy bars, 50¢ each
1 gallon milk, $2.79
2 John Frieda Root Awakening Products, $5.00 each
1 John Frieda Frizz Ease Product, $5.00
2 Sobe Life Water, BOGO, $2.19
2 Bags Emerald Glazed Nuts, BOGO, $2.99
1 travel size CVS baby wipes, 99¢ (because I spilled something all over my top
right before I came in LOL)
Coupons used:
$5 off $25 (email coupon)
(1) BOGO Sobe water
(2) $3.00 John Frieda Root Awakening
(1) $2.00 John Frieda (the JF coupons were the old ones that expired that night,
but there were new ones in the inserts Sunday 8/22)
(2) $1.00 Emerald Nut
$3.00 EB
Total OOP (including 95¢ tax) = $6.22
Got back $5 EB for buying $15 of John Frieda products & $1 EB for buying milk.

Transaction #2
Purchased:
1 bottle Blink Tears Gel Eye Drops, $7.99
Coupons used:
$1.50 Blink Tears (printable)
$5 & $1 EB
Total OOP (including 48¢ tax) = 97¢
Got back $7.99 EB

Transaction #3
Purchased:
3 candy bars, 50¢ each
2 Breathsavers mints, $1.99 each
6 Smart Water, $1.00 each
3 Vitamin Water, $1.00 each
2 Listerine Total Care, Cinnamint Flavor, $1.24 each (clearance find!)
Coupons used:
$5 off $15 (printed last week from the nice coupon machine)
(2) $1.00 off wyb 3 Smart Water & another item (recent tearpads at CVS)
(2) $1.00 Listerine Total Care (various inserts this year)
$7.99 EB
Total OOP (including 40¢ tax) = 37¢
Got back $4.00 EB for buying 2 bottles Listerine Total Care and $5 EB for buying 10 Smart Water/ Vitamin Water (I had purchased one Smart Water earlier in the day for my son who was going to the park for a birthday party.)

Transaction #4
Purchased:
1 bag Emerald Glazed Nuts, $2.99, BOGO
Coupons used:
$1.50 deducted as CVS coupon for the BOGO sale
(1) $1.00 Emerald Nut coupon
Total OOP (including 18¢ tax) = 67¢

So I started the night with $3 EB, spent a total of $8.23 OOP and ended with $9 EB. It seemed like a pretty good deal to me.
