CVS Trip, again, with the Month of May Deals, WooHoo!

I know I just posted about CVS, but I'm so PUMPED about the May deals that I got last night!

Here's how it went down:

Transaction #1
2 Tums QuikPaks - $9.38
1 Adidas deodorant - $4.99
1 Chapstick Naturals - $2.99

$3/$15 CVS coupon
$4.49 off of Adidas
$7.98 in Extra Care Bucks (ECBs)

Total out of pocket = $2.34
Total ECBs earned = $15.37


Transaction #2
2 Post-It Flags - $4.00
2 Adidas deodorant - $9.98
1 Chapstick Naturals - $2.99

$3/$15 CVS coupon
2 $4.49 off of Adidas
$4.00 in ECBs

Total out of pocket = $1.90
Total ECBs earned = $10.98

Transaction #3
2 Colgate 360 toothbrushes - 7.98
3 Colgate toothbrushes on clearance - $2.00
1 Orapik Traveler - $2.79
2 Aquafresh Advance toothpastes - $5.98
2 Duracell 4 packs - $9.58

$3/$15 CVS coupon
2 $1.00 off Aquafresh
1 $1.00 off Colgate
2 $0.75 off Duracell
$17.99 in ECBs

Total out of pocket = $3.35
Total ECBs earned = $16.75

So I walked in with $22.98 total in ECBs, walked out with $41.11 in ECBs, and paid $7.59 out of pocket. Not too shabby, if I say so myself! I should say that I rarely do multiple transactions, but with the coupons I had, it just worked better that way. I luckily had a very helpful and obliging cashier.

As usual, a big "Thanks" to Crystal at Money Saving Mom for putting together such great deals!


Seriously, I will get back to talking about eating gluten free, but this blog is about eating gluten free cheaply, so I think this post can slide by :)
