CVS Trip: Saved 93% (And Yes, I Got More M&Ms)

July 2, 2010

It’s offical… Emma’s allergy medicine isn’t working. The doctor recommended that we try another kind, and that meant another trip to CVS this evening. Fortunately I had some great CVS store coupons to bring the cost down! But I ended up using ALL of my ECBs and only getting $1 back. Looks like it’s rebuilding time again! Here’s what we got:

Starting ECBs: $10.00
Merchandise Value: $27.74
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $1.96 plus tax
Savings: $25.78 (93%)
Ending ECBs: $1.00 (*gulp*)

What I Bought:
2 Kellogg’s cereals – $2.50 each
1 CVS brand allergy medicine – $7.99
1 Triaminic strips – $6.99
2 Tums 3-packs – $2.99 each
2 M&Ms – 89¢ each

Coupons Used:
-$5.00 off $25.00 CVS coupon I received via email
-$1.00 off 2 Kellogg’s cereals printable coupon (previously available)
-$1.00 off CVS brand allergy medicine store coupon from previous receipt
-$2.00 off Triaminic store coupon from previous receipt
-$2.00 off x 2 Tums coupons from the in-store coupon printing machine
-$1.00 off 2 Tums coupon from 6/27 RedPlum insert
-89¢ Buy 1 – Get 1 FREE M&M sale at CVS this week
-89¢ Buy 1 – Get 1 FREE store coupon from previous receipt
-$10.00 ECBs

Out-of-Pocket Cost: $1.96 plus tax
ECBs Earned: $1.00 (Kellogg’s)

I hated to use all of my ECBs, but I guess this is what they’re made for!
