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.

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!!

Walgreens Deal - FREE DIAPERS!

Woo Hoo!! I hit the jackpot! With two little ones in diapers (a 2-yr old boy who isn't thinking about the potty and a 4-month old) I can use all the help I can get with training pants and diapers.

Thankfully, Money Saving Mom posted this awesome deal on her website. I was able to obtain the Prescription Savings Booklet, and it was all uphill from there!

I paid $5.19 for 3 packs of training pants and received a $5 register rewards (RR) coupon! (Net total of 19¢ !!!!) I used the $5 coupon to take advantage of the awesome school supply deals Walgreens has this week. Take a look!

**NOTE: You cannot use the $5 RR to purchase more diapers and expect to get another $5 RR. So, use your $5 for something else. You can repeat the deal and get another $5 to use on other stuff!
