For Sonya Ann....CVS Trip!

So last month I went to CVS and got this........

I went back yesterday as it was expiring today to spend it and here is what I got..........

Finding decaffeinated tea bags at a good price is rough here so I jumped on this Spend $9 on Lipton or Hellman's and get $3 in ECB Deal.
After sale price of $3 a box and coupons worth $2.50 total and using my $5 ECB I spent $1.50 OOP and earned a $3 ECB.
**Just updated this to say that I'll get .40¢ of my OOP back as I have a Lipton offer in my SavingStar account, so $1.10 OOP after that rebate.**

Great!
Now I had to find a way to use this one!! lolz

The CVS kiosk spit out a $2.50 off Colgate toothpaste coupon and a $1.50 off $5 if you buy nuts coupon.
Now how to use some of this and get something I need/want, use this $3 ECB and keep my OOP lowish.

Before leaving home to go to CVS, I went to the CVS website and printed a few Qs I "might" need and then checked out a CVS Deal website to see what the Kiosk was printing out this week.

I put together a game plan while in the store and bought this stuff.........

1 x GE Abound unsalted cashews=$6.99
1 x GE Abound nut bar=$1.49
1 x Colgate toothpaste on sale=$3.00
3 x AG cards .99¢ea.=$2.97
SubTotal.......$14.45

Coupons Used
1 x $1.50 wyb $5 in GE nuts CVSKioskQ=$1.50
1 x $2/2 GE Abound CVSQ from website=$2.00
1 x $2.50/1 Colgate toothpaste CVSKioskQ=$2.50
1 x .50¢/1 Colgate toothpaste IPQ=.50¢
1 x $2/3 AG Greeting Cards CVSQ=$2.00
1 x $3 ECB from the Lipton tea I just bought=$3.00
Coupon Total........$11.50

$14.45-$11.50=$2.95+.10¢tax=$3.05 OOP

And then, just when I thought I was free of CVS, this spit out on my receipt........

Another $2 ECB!!! ack

Well, at this point I was done with CVS for the day so I put this in my coupon pouch and went home.
I have a month to come back and spend this before it expires.
I just didn't have anything left in my drugstore arsenal.  Now if PA was a place that the CVS stores have liquor you could buy like Sonya Ann's does......

I could have found something to buy EASY! lolz

So I am out $4.55 cash for all these purchases and have a $2 ECB to use.

Oh well......I guess I'll be CVSing another day..........

Look What I Did Now

While out and about hauling in the After Christmas Deals I went into CVS, some place I hardly EVER go into anymore.

And this stuff followed me home..............

When you purchase $15 in select Gold Emblem/Abound snacks/nuts this week you earn a $5 Extra Bucks Reward.
I happened to print off some CVS Qs for these items before I went and all 6 items were also on sale(not all that qualify for this offer are on sale).

$15.96 before Qs, $4 off w/Qs  made this $11.96 OOP.

$5 ECB back.
Now I just have to make sure I remember to go back to CVS before this expires to roll/use it.
All but the crackers are for College Boy to take back to school as part of his "snack/alternate meal 'because the dining hall food is inedible tonight' stash".  ;-)

I have spent quite a bit this week restocking College Boy with goodies for next semester and it's all coming out of the $100 I put aside of the $300 food budget this month for that use.

Frankly I don't care to be playing more than one Drugstore Game at the time and I will be bowing out of CVS-ing again as soon as I can.  I just wanted to reacquaint myself with CVS again since my beloved Rite-Aids will be becoming Walgreens later this year and I don't see a future for us together when this comes to pass.  8-(
