cvs mania

I have become a little obsessed with CVSing, I am getting very good at it.  From the last diabetes meter purchase I have spent very little money out of pocket.  

Today I did the 3M deal, as mentioned in Rachel's blog here.  

The coupons did not scan but at two different CVS' the cashier manually took off the amount, and I got two different kinds of hooks, 2 white and 4 faux metal.  Great deal!

I spent a total of $1.09 in taxes and I earned 5 ECBs, now I have a total of 10 ECBs to spend.  

Then when I arrived home there was a $4/20 CVS coupon in my email for the first time ever!!!  Are they tracking my spending??

A side note: Does everyone know that Harris Teeter is donig triple coupons this week??

A great CVS trip!

Today was a good CVS trip

1 Palm Dish liquid

1 Crest Baking Soda/Perox

1 Schick Intuition razor

1 CVS nail polish remover

1 Emery board pack

Coupons used

25 cents off Palmolive

75 cents off Crest toothpaste

$4 off Schick intuition razor

9.99 ECBs

PAID 1.49 with tax

EARNED 5 ECBS total.

I am sad I missed using the 4/20 beauty coupon.

Harris Teeter! 4-25 AND 26

We went to HT and used a few coupons on 4-25 AND 4-26, mostly groceries, one must be careful there and know the prices, however, they ALWAYS double manu coupons up to 99 cents, which is great! Their customer service is the best of any grocery store I have ever been to.  

  

Trip Highlights -- GRANDE Tortilla chips, on sale for 2/$4, used 75 cents off coupon, paid 50 cents. 

Snyders multigrain snacks (like sunchips) on sale for 2/$6, used 75 cents off coupon, paid $1.50

McCormick Parsley flakes, $1.49, used 75 cents off any spice, was FREE!

I saw the sale on Seventh Generation products so I went home and printed out (2) $1 off coupons...so on 4-26 I headed out again:

(2) 7th Gen. Automatic Dishwasher liquids for $1.99 each, (after coupons) a good price for such a quality eco-friendly brand

(2) Mrs. T's perogies on sale for 2/$5, used $1/2, paid $2 each and got a free ticket to Charlotte Knights baseball (minor league, we will probably not go but good deal anyway)

Sparkle 6 double roll paper towels on sale B1G1 at 10.68 per pack (WHO would ever pay that much??).  They ring up at half price, I used a 50 cents off coupon that doubled so I paid $4.34

Donations made

I donated 2 Glucose meters, 1 Neutrogena shampoo, and 1 Dove cream oil body lotion since I got them for either free or very cheap to get more ECBs and I do not really need them.  I might donate the Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara -- I volunteer at a medical clinic so hopefully someone there needs the items.
