May 20, 2010

My latest CVS trip was Sunday. I’m just now getting time to post it! Here’s what we got:

Starting ECBs: $13.99
Merchandise Value: $25.35

Ending ECBs: $8.99

What I Bought:
5 CVS brand light bulbs – $4.16
1 Dawn Dish Liquid – $.84
2 Kashi TLC Bars – $5.00
1 Aussie Conditioner – $2.99
1 Aussie Mousse – $2.99
1 Charmin Ultra 4-pack – $2.50
1 Visine – $3.79
1 Coke Zero – $1.59
1 CVS brand toffee popcorn – $1.49

We actually only needed the light bulbs (and the Coke Zero, of course).  Working deals like this allows us to get what we need and also get some things that we enjoy while not spending much. It’s a win-win!
