This week was a great time to stock up on tissues for cold season! You know it’s been my mission to not get stuck paying full-price for cold care this year. Here’s what I ended up with on my first CVS run this week.

I’m not sure why the candy bars didn’t ring up with the Buy 2 – Get 1 FREE sale. I may stop back in with my receipt to find out. I may have bought the wrong brands.
I’m thinking about going back tomorrow to pick up some other P&G items. If I spend another $14 on participating P&G products, I’ll get $10 back. With coupons I might break even!
Great work! I finally got to make it to CVS this week too.
