CVS Shopping Trip 6/20/10

Baby, Coupons, CVS, Shopping deals, Shopping Plans, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
First let me say Happy Father's Day!   My hubby had a great day staying at home getting things done that HE wanted to.  I got to spend the day with my daughter and my parents.  It was a very busy and hot day in NOVA. I was lucky enough to get out and stop at CVS all by myself.  My daughter definitely isn't the age to understand going to store and waiting Mommy to get her transactions straight. Here are the two transactions I did today with 2 different cards. At the CRT Red coupon machine I got a $4/$20 coupon! A week or so ago I also got a CRT for the $3 off a box of Huggies with that same card. I bought 1 Huggies Snug and Dry…

Baby, Coupons, CVS, Shopping deals, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
Again and again I go to CVS and I'm amazed at how much I can get for so little!   I try really hard to lower my out of pocket and in this case my out of pocket is a little bit more then I wanted but I came out ahead at the end. On the right hand side of the photo, I got the free Extra Care bucks $2 ECB just for scanning my card and it expires 7/13/10. This is the amazing deal!   Old Spice is currently $4 right now and you will get $4 ECB limit 1.  However, when I did this by buying 2  and using the B1G1 coupon in the P&G 6/5/10 I got back $8 ECBs!   Woohoo!   Sorry, I don't have both in the…

On Mother's Day I went to CVS and Walmart with the family.  We got errands done and after nap-time we had a great time at the park. I hadn't heard of Babyganics before and I noticed it on this shelf at my Walmart for $5 and I confirmed that the Stain Stain Go Away is $5 and the All Purpose Cleaner is $3.50 PLUS they come with a Buy One Get One For FREE coupon on the bottle expires 12/31/10.    So in two transactions I did 2 Stain Stain Go Away for $5 (that is $2.50 each) and 2 All Purpose clean for $3.50 (that is $1.25 each).  Not a bad price for organic cleaners!  I can't wait to try them out.
