Weekend CVS-ing OOP $8.55/2 Transactions


My foot finally felt well enough for me to drive on Sat. so I could hit CVS & WAGS. I had a $10/50 CRT expire before I could get out to CVS.ugh

But I did have another 1 still valid. yay!

CVS had some of this week's specials out already on Sat.(the small crackers/cookies for $1 & the healthy snacks Quaker granola bars/oatmeal 2/$5, spend $15, get $5 ECBS)so I was able to get to $50 even though they were STILL out of Carnation Instant Breakfast, etc. at this store.
Both Transactions are pictured together, except for the 4 12-packs of Coke products. My foot won't let me tote them in from the garage yet.lol

CVS Transaction #1

10x Ritz & Wheat Thins Crackers $1 ea.
6x Quaker Chewy Granola Bars 2/$5
1 Crest Pro Health Toothpaste $2.99
2x Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste BOGO $2.79
2x Vaseline Body Lotion $3.69 ea.
3x J&J First Aid Kit $.99 ea.
3x J&J Buddies Soap $1.19 ea.
1 Playskool Wipes $3.29
1 Suave Shampoo $1.99

TOTAL $49.98

Even though my total was 2 cents short of $50, the cashier was able to take the $10/50 CRT, no problem!

Coupons Used...

5x $2/2 Nabisco Crackers from Jan. 25 Inserts
2x $1/2 Quaker Chewy Granola Bars from March Inserts
$1/1 Quaker-not sure where I got this one from
$3/2 J&J IP Q
2x $1.25/1 Vaseline Lotion from March Inserts
2x $1.50/1 Colgate IP Q
$1/1 Crest from March Inserts
$1/1 J&J Buddies IP Q
$2/2 J&J Buddies IP Q
$3 Free Suave Shampoo Q(Cashier took off full value even though the bottle rang up $1.99)
$2 CVS Playskool Wipes Q
*$1.25 Q
$10/50 CVS CRT

COUPON TOTAL $41.75

ECB Used...

$2.99
$4.99
ECB TOTAL $7.98

$49.98-$41.75-$7.98=$.25 TOTAL OOP


Earned $4 ECB on the Vaseline, $2 on the Crest, $5 on the Quaker & another $10/50 CRT.


*There is a $1.25 Q taken off on my receipt I can't account for. I had a 3rd Vaseline Lotion that I didn't buy & had the cashier take off. She had my Q for it though and must have rung it through.

She also didn't charge any tax on the taxables.
Plus she gave me the full Suave coupon value even though the item rang $1.99.
She was quite the train wreck!...but in my favor for a change.lol

If you add in the coupon & tax not charged to my 25 cent total, the accurate OOP total should be $1.87.

I also had a $4/20 CRT good Sat. only, so I did another transaction.

CVS Transaction #2

4x Coke 12 packs $3.25 ea.
2x Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste BOGO $2.79
1 Glucerna Cereal $4.59
1 Glucerna Snack Bars $4.89

TOTAL $25.27

Coupons used...

$1.50 Colgate IP Q
$1 Colgate Q from March Inserts
$10 Glucerna IP Q-Adjusted down to $9.48
$4/20 CVS CRT
COUPON TOTAL $15.98

ECB Used...
$.99
ECB TOTAL $.99

$25.27-$15.98-$.99=$8.30 TOTAL OOP

I should have used $7 ECB($5+$2)earned on the previous transaction to make my OOP $1.30, but I got flustered. Doh!lol
Earned $3 ECB on the Coke purchase.


Final Tally....

Used $8.97 ECB & $16 CVS CRT, Earned $14 ECB & $10 CVS CRT, spent $8.55 OOP
