CVS Trip - 6/25/08

One of my goals this week was to visit a different CVS. On Wednesday I was out of town and visited a CVS in that town. I hoped it would have one of the scanners I sometimes see people blogging about. You scan your CVS card and it prints out coupons. The store I visited did not have a scanner. I still got some good deals. I didn't plan my trip quite as well as I should have, but here is what I got:

• 1 Bounty Paper Towels @ $5.49
• 3 Charmin Toilet Paper @ $5.99 each
• 1 Colgate Total Advanced @ $2.99
• 4 Soy Joy Bars @ $1.00 each
• 1 Listerine Smart Rinse @ $3.49
• 2 All Small & Mighty @ 2 for $6.49

• Coupons Used:
• 1 - $0.25 off paper towels
  
• 3 - $0.25 off toilet paper
  
• 1 - B2G1 for Soy Joy Bar so $1.00 off
• 2 - $1.00 off laundry detergent
• 1 - $1.50 off toothpaste
• Used $13.00 in ECB

I gained $3.49 for the Listerine, $2.00 for the toothpaste, $10.00 for the toilet paper & paper towels, and $4.00 for the Soy Joy bars.

Totals this trip:

• Out of Pocket $23.47
• ECBs Used: $13.00
• ECBs Gained: $19.49

I spent a little more out of pocket than I wanted to. I should have done this in 2 transactions. I will try to be more careful next time. I did need laundry detergent and toilet paper. I am happy with my purchases.

I just received a coupon in my e-mail for $5.00 off when I spend $30.00. I will be going back to CVS this week and using this coupon.
