MY CVS SHOPPING TRIP 08/30/09

Here is a list from my most recent CVS shopping trip.  I will include the items I bought, the price paid and the coupons that I used, along with my total cost.

I got up bright and early yesterday morning to be sure that I got the best deals.  Our CVS store tends to run out of the sale items very quickly.  From experience, the best sales tend to be gone by late Sunday afternoon.  I made sure I was there by 8:30 am.  Before going in I did a bit of a rehearsal, looking through my coupons and making sure I had a game plan!  Will, in the end my extra planning really paid off.  This week was my best week so far.  I’ve only been doing this about a month.  I’m getting better each time though.

I let the cashier ring up all of my purchases, then I handed her my $5 of $25 coupon.  Then I turned in all of my coupons and my ECB of $10.58.  After all was said and done I paid a total of $2.38 out of pocket and earned $8.99 in ECB for next time!!  At the bottom of my receipt it says that I saved $34.97!!  I was so excited at the great deals that I received.

I would like to thank everyone who has posted their CVS experiences here on Gather.  It is that very reason that I was inspired to try this out for myself.  So thanks for all of the knowledge and inspiration and Keep up the Good work!!!
