It has been a while since I posted my shopping trips. This week has been a whirlwind, so I am finally getting caught up. CVS has been very good to me lately!
I brought home:
1 8 pack Scott paper towels ($1.00 off coupon)
(2) kids “Zooth” Toothbrushes (2 BOGO coupons made them free) April deal- earned $2 ECB
B-day Card for sis’
1 Cover Girl Powder (on sale BOGO)
1 Cover Girl Foundation (used BOGO coupon from insert making them both free)
3 Essence of Beauty Products (April deal- buy 3 EOB items, earn $5 ECB *moneymaker*)
Total before coupons and ECBs: $40.95
After coupons and sale: $12.99
I had exactly $12.99 in ECB’s from last week.
OOP Total: ZERO, zip, nada
ECB’s earned: $2.00
Now, I should have gotten another $5.00 ECB from the EOB deal, but I bought the wrong toe separator thingy. Warning- only 1 UPC works on this deal, this one: 050428072981
Check the back before you buy it to make sure.
Transaction #1:
3 Essence of Beauty Gift Bags @ $1.49 ea. (these are hard to find)
1 pack EOB makeup sponges (this fixed my mistake above)
Paid: $8.08 OOP (I forgot my ECBs this time, oops!)
Earned: $10.00 ECB (This deal works all through April)
Transaction #2:
3 EOB toe separators (the correct ones) @ .99 ea
1 bottle Heinz Vinegar (another April deal) @$1.99
Paid with $5 ECBs from above, zero OOP.
Earned: $6 ECBs
Transaction #3:
2 packs CVS supreme diapers (BOGO)
2 Johnsons Buddies soaps ($2.00 coupon here, made them free)

Basically, I paid only $8.08 for everything you see above!! Hubby was very happy. I am just thankful for CVS! The extra time I spent planning my transactions and clipping coupons was well worth it this week.
