CVS 8.20.08


I'm having a bad week. So far, I've made two critical mistakes that I am really mad at myself about! Details below:

Transaction #1
1 Revlon lash fantasy $7.99
1 Puffs tissues $1.79
1 Puffs tissues free (they are BOGO this week)
Coupons:
-$2 off $10
-$0.25 puffs 8/3 p&g
-$0.25 puffs 8/3 p&g
-$2.00 Revlon 7/20 ss
-$5 ECB
Total OOP $0.50
ECBs earned $5.00
****Critical mistake 1: Revlon makeup is BOGO this week, I could have gotten something free for buying the mascara :(

Transaction #2
4 Crest Tartar ($1.77) each= $7.08
1 Crest Scope $3.29
1 CVS hand soap $1.69
1 Puffs tissues $1.79
1 Puffs tissues free (they are BOGO this week)

Coupons:
-$2 off $10

-$2 off CVS skincare

-$0.25 puffs 8/3 p&g
-$0.25 puffs 8/3 p&g
-5 coupons: $0.75 crest
-$5 ECB

Total OOP $1.24
ECBs earned $4.00
****lots of critical mistakes here! First, I forgot a $0.25 puffs coupon at home. Second, the crest scope was $1.77 on the shelf and rung up$3.29, and I didn't get an ECB for it, so I wasted an ECB when I spent $5. I usually like to get back what I spend or more in ECB's :( Oh well, my mind is somewhere else and I'm just going to CVS to feed my coupon addiction and we go through tissues like water at my house.

Transaction #3
1 Pantene shampoo $5.99
1 Puffs tissues $1.79
1 Puffs tissues free (they are BOGO this week)
1 CVS shaving cream $2.49
Coupons:
-$2 off $10
-$6 pantene (from facebook, coupon no longer available)
-$2 CVS skincare
Total OOP $0.77
ECBs earned $0
Summary for the week:
OOP: $2.51
ECB's earned: $9
ECB's spent: $10

Don't freat about the mascara BOGO. At my CVS it seems not all Revlon was BOGO. I got a free blush when I purchased another blush, but not able to get another Revlon with mascara. Besides, you did well! =)

Great deals and I agree about the mascara. Mine was actually tagged as BOGO in the store but it didn't ring up that way and they would not give it to me. I just had them take the second one off my transaction. Great shopping!
