Sunday Morning-hitting the Pharmacies

This morning I am at home because my son is sick :(  He is getting better though so no worries.  Anyway, before my husband left for church I ran out to CVS & Walgreens to hit some of their good deals this week.  I like to go while they still actually have some of the product that is on sale.  You know those ladies that use coupons just wipe the shelves clean...wait, I guess I am talking about myself :)

Here is a picture of what I bought today:
I ended up paying $21.40 for all this stuff.  That is not that good for me to tell you the truth, but I messed up one of my deals and it ruined the whole thing.  I bought 28 items, so I guess less than $1 per item isn't that bad :)


Walgreens:

What is free this week:
Garnier Fructis products are on sale for $2.99.  In the Walgreens Easy Savor Catalog there is a $2 off coupon on any Garnier Fructis product.  You can pick up this Catalog any time you go to Walgreens.  They are right by the weekly flyer.  Anyway, so once you use the $2 off coupon you only owe $.99.  Well, I had lots of Garnier coupons to get rid of!  I had 4 for $1 off any styling product and 3 for $1 off any shampoo or conditioner!  I used those and then the total I actually had to paid was $1.19 for tax.


CVS:


What's free this week:
Earlier I posted about the good deals at CVS this week, I ended up getting a $10 off $50 coupon which I think made me go a little crazy.  I thought that the cereal deal had a limit of three and it was really only a limit of one, but it was still an OK deal and I didn't want to be a pain and make them re-ring me up so I just took it all.

I ended up paying $24.21 in cash & $8 in ECBS and got $14 back in ECBs to spend next time so I ended up spending a total off $18.21 for all this stuff.  Not too bad.  Lets see how much I saved!

9 cereal products on sale for 3/$10 = $30
2 Palmolives $1.49 ea. = $2.98
1 Vasaline Lotion = $3.69
Vitamins = $2.99
2 newspapers $1.50 ea. = $3
2 Laundry Soaps BOGO = $6.99
1 Mouth wash = $2.99
2 candy bars = $1

That equals $53.64 + $3.21 in tax.

Coupons I used:

$10 off $50 (CVS coupon)
$1.50 off any Vasaline Lotion
2 $1 off Arm & Hammer laundry soap
$1 off Crest Mouth Wash
3 $.55 off Lucky Charms
 $1 off 2 Cinnamon Toast Crunch
2 $.60 off Nature Valley Bars
$8 ECB

I paid $24.21 and got back $13.99 in ECBs.

That means I saved $32.64!  More than half off!

If all this CVS stuff isn't making any sense to you click here to read about the rewards program CVS uses!  We DID NOT cover any of this in our coupon class but in the weeks/months to come we will be hitting this subject hard!
