A Few Good Deals

I went to CVS today to see if they had the Dove Skin Vitalizer in stock. Unfortunately they did not, but I was able to get a rain check. My store had 3-packs of Chapstick on sale for $1.00(in clearance section). They also had 5 packs of Tootsie Bunch Pops on sale for $0.13( I found them in a bin in the front of the store. They were labeled as a quarter). I love bargain shopping, even when it doesn't go as planned.

This is Why I Love CVS.

Today I Quick stop at CVS to pick up the this weeks deals. Here's what I purchased.

1 Softsoap body wash/scrub
4 Purex laundry detergant
4 Sobe life water
1 3pk chapstick

used $3 off any $15 purchase coupon
$1 Softsoap coupon
2 buy one get one free coupons for the detergent(it was on sale buy one get
one free this week)
2 buy one get one free coupons for the Sobe(it was also on sale buy one get
one free this week)

I think it was a successful shopping trip. I am not fond of Purex, but it will work fine for towels.

I Went Shopping Today and I'm Up $24

I made a quick stop today for some Easter goodies at CVS. They had a special for Sunday and Monday. The M&Ms were a $1.50 a bag, and the Easter egg dye was $1.99 with a $1.99 ecb(In-store coupon good on your next purchase. Make sure you sign up for the extra care card in the store to make use of these.). For the first transaction I purchased 2 packs of Easter egg dye for a total of $3.98. I paid with a $3.49 in ecbs from last trip and around $0 .56 in change. Earned $3.98 in ecbs. For my second transaction I purchased two bags of M&Ms and a pack of plastic eggs. Paid with $3.98 in ecbs and $0.21 in change. My total for both transactions was under a dollar.
We went to my in-law's house for dinner. While we were there my mother-in-law ended up needing a prescription filled. I offered them the $25 gift card coupon that I had in my coupon binder. They didn't want the card, but they picked it up for me and now I'm up $24 for the day. Not too bad I think.
