First CVS Deal

I've been watching the CVS deals at several other blogs for several weeks now. I signed up for a CVS card online (they sent it to me within a week) and Sunday I checked the paper for the weekly deals and searched for coupons. Until I get a new printer, I pretty much have to stick with regular coupons. The online ones are too difficult. I did coax one $4 off $20 purchase printout from my pathetic printer. Tonight, off I went to CVS for a couple specific (NEEDED!) things. Here's what I got:


(Please pardon the table clutter and white Huggies wipes tub. Thnx.)

2 Always Clean UltraThin + Wipes (regularly $8.99) $6.00 each = $12.00
2 Pampers Swaddlers Size 2, 40 ct. (regularly $11.79) $7.99 each = $15.98
2 Pampers Wipes, 77 ct. (regularly $3.99) $2.99 each = $ 5.98
2 Dawn Botanicals Jasmine/Lavendar (regularly $2.99) $1.00 each = $ 2.00

Total $35.96

I used 2 $.25 off Dawn and 2 $2.00 off 2 Pampers coupons. About 5 minutes after I walked out, I remembered my $4 off $20 coupon, and they still GAVE IT TO ME as a refund!

Total $27.46

I also got:
$5 ExtraCare Bucks for spending $20 on Pampers
$3 ExtraCare Bucks for buying 2 Always pads
$1 ExtraCare Buck for buying 2 Dawn dishsoap

In a separate transaction afterwards I used $5.00 of my ECB to buy a pack of Pampers BabyDry Size 2 (48 ct, NOT the Swaddlers) diapers that they had on CLEARANCE for $5.75 (regularly $11.79); so I spent $.75 on those. And there was a pack of these that had a slice in it (like from a boxcutter opening the case) and when I showed it to the cashier/supervisor, they were going to just throw it away since it was on clearance to be discontinued. When I asked, she gave it to me. SCORE! (FYI: I opened up the pack and only ONE diaper was nicked.) *screams* Free diapers!

So, recap. I got $79 worth of diapers, wipes, pads and dishsoap for essentially $19.21 (plus tax) and I still have $4 ECB for next time. That's not bad at all if you ask me.

YAY!
