I had a $5 off $30 purchase coupon for CVS, and it was expiring today. So I swung by CVS on our way home from our Father’s Day outing. My family graciously waited for me in the van while I ran in. Fortunately they tolerate my obsession… and actually love that I save so much money! Here’s what I got today…..

I left the store with no ECBs, but I saved so much that I didn’t mind! I would have spent almost $9.95 on a pack of pull-ups alone. This was a GREAT trip for me! I’ll also be getting a $9.99 rebate on the glucose meter (which I’m donating). So all in all, this was a free trip!
