October 28, 2011

Merchandise Value: $22.97
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $6.47

I love it when the shopping is FREE at CVS… especially when there’s chocolate involved. 🙂 This week I was able to get 4 packs of candy free after coupons and ECBs. I chose that candy carefully, picking kinds that I know I can use for holiday baking. We like to make M&M cookies and Hershey’s Kisses cookies at Christmas. Now that I’ve snagged these for free, I’m one step closer to being ready for that holiday baking! (Now we just have to NOT eat it before it’s time to bake!!)
