CVS Deals - $54 of stuff for 55¢ Out of Pocket!

I'm getting better at the CVS game... I bought all the stuff you see in the picture in 4 transactions for a total of 55¢ out-of-pocket (OOP) using coupons and previously earned Extra Care Bucks (ECB).

I had $21 ECB saved up and now I have $12, but am working on another $5 which I should have by week's end. ($5 ECB when you buy $15 of CVS brand baby care items.) So by the time the week is over, I'll have $17 ECB. Not too bad, although I lost $4.

Money Saving Mom is an excellent resource for learning how to "CVS". Check out her link in my blog list to the right.

Also, see Economic Endeavors for detailed instructions on how to plan your transactions to get the most for your money.

Here's how it breaks down:

Transaction 1-
2 Revlon hair accessories ($4.99 & $5.99)
2 American Greetings cards ($3.99 & 3.29)
1 CVS Hand sanitizer ($1.19)
1 CVS Baby Wipes ($2)

COUPONS-
$3/$15
$2 CVS Skin CareB1G1 American Greetings
Free CVS Hand Sanitizer CRT
$11.99 ECBs
Total: 50¢ - Earned $5 ECBs for Revlon accessories
======================

Transaction 2-
Clean & Clear Soft Moisturizer ($7.99)
Clean & Clear Soft Facial Cleanser ($5.99)
CVS Baby Wipes ($2)

COUPONS-
$3/$15
$2 CVS Skin Care
$3/two Clean & Clear Soft products
$7.98 ECBs
Total: 21¢
=======================

Transaction 3-
2 Revlon cosmetics (BOGO Sale) ($7.99 & $7.99)
2 Trident Xtra ($1.49 & $1.49)
1 CVS Wipes ($2)

COUPONS-
$3/$15
TWO $3/1 Revlon cosmetics CRT
$2/1 Revlon from 7/20 SS
BOGO Trident Xtra
$2 CVS Skin Care
Total: 70¢ - Earned $1 ECBs for Trident Gum
======================

RETURNED the Clean & Clear from Transaction 2 because I only spent $14 and did not get my ECBs. So,
Transaction 4-
2 Clean & Clear Soft Moisturizers ($7.99 each)

COUPON- $3/2 Clean & Clear Soft products

**Used return money card to pay and still had a balance of 86¢!**This would've been better if I had 1 more $3/$15 and if I had thought to grab another box of CVS wipes!

Earned $5 ECBs for Clean & Clear promo
=====================

Still working on the $5 ECBs from the $15 CVS Brand Baby products. So far, I've "bought" 4 boxes of wipes for free. I just need 4 more and I will get the $5 ECBs!!
