CVS Trip: Saved 69% & Stocked Up

May 17, 2012

Total Merchandise Value: $42.25
Total Out-of-Pocket Cost: $13.26
Savings: $28.99 (69%)

My grocery list for this week is a little weird. We just happened to run really low on laundry detergent, Ziploc bags, napkins, dishwasher soap, and several other household items all at the same time! That can turn into a pricey little shopping trip when that happens. Fortunately two of those things were on sale at CVS this week, so I was able to stock up a little bit in hopes to not land in this same situation again.

Transaction #1
6 Finish dishwasher tabs – $21.00 ($3.50 each)
– $4 off $20 purchase CVS coupon received via email
– $4 ECBs from last week
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $13.00 + tax
ECBs Earned: $10.00

Transaction #2
1 Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste – $3.39
1 Tone bar soap 2-pack – $1.88
1 Gain dish liquid – $1.00
2 All laundry detergent – $14.98 ($7.49 each)
– $1.00 off Crest Pro-Health coupon from a Vocalpoint home mailer
– $0.50/1 Gain Dishwashing Liquid, exp. 6/30/12 (P&G 05/13/12)
– 2 $1/1 All Mighty Pacs or Liquid Laundry Detergent, exp. 6/2/12 (RP 04/01/12)
– $10 ECBs from Transaction #1
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $.26 + tax
ECBs Earned: $3.00 ($2 Crest, $1 Tone)

Total Merchandise Value: $42.25
Total Out-of-Pocket Cost: $13.26
Savings: $28.99 (69%)

And I ended up with $3 in ECBs for next week. Not too bad!
