CVS Trip: Shopping for Profit (Thanks to Swagbucks)

Merchandise Value: $13.47
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $1.47 (after $10 Swagbucks gift card)
ECBs Earned: $6.99
Final Price: $5.52 Profit!

I am SO out of practice at CVS shopping! The cashiers probably think I moved or something. I figured I’d get myself there today before my Revlon coupon expired. Here’s what I did:

What I Bought:
1 Scott Towels – $5.99
1 Revlon Lip Gloss – $6.49
1 Candy Corn – $.99

Coupons Used:
$1/1 Scott Towels, exp. 10/31/11 (ALL YOU Aug ’11)
$1/1 Revlon Color Cosmetics Product, exp. 9/18/11 (SS 08/14/11)

Out-of-Pocket Cost: $11.47
* I used a $10 CVS gift card earned using Swagbucks, so my price was $1.47.

ECBs Earned:
$1.00 Scott Towels
$5.00 Revlon Lip
$.99 Candy Corn (only through Tuesday)

I actually came out AHEAD $5.52 because I had my gift card! I’m just excited to have some ECBs to work with over the next few weeks.
