CVS Shopping

CVS Shopping

I was excited to receive our Free Friday paper again this week. This week was lucky since it had 3 Smart Source inserts. However, the paper doesn’t always include all the ads. There was no CVS add in the paper for me to plan my Sunday shopping trip. So I went to Simply CVS for the weekly sales flyer. She always has it posted early.

There wasn’t a lot I wanted at CVS this week. I went there without a plan in mind and I brought extra coupons to see what I could work out. I was excited I had $6.99 in ECB’s to spend from last week. Shopping was more difficult, since they had not put up the sales tags yet. I had to take the sales flyer with me and go to the scanner to see if some of the items qualified.



Here are my results:

Transaction #1:

(1) Colgate Toothbrush $2.99 – 1 Q $1.00 off SS(03/27/11)
            -$2.00 ECB printed

Spent $1.99

(2) Pledge Lemon 12.5oz $3.00
(2) Pledge Multi surface cleaner 9.7 oz $3.00 - 2 Q’s BOGO Multi surface cleaner SS(2/13/11)
            - $4.00 ECB printed –Spend $12.00 receive $4.00 ECB
 (1) Halls cough drops $1.87 – 1 Q $0.75 off SS(03/27/11)

Transaction # 4:

            -$2.00 ECB printed

Transaction # 4:

(1) Milk $3.79 – 1 Q $1.00 SS(03/27/11) Oak Farms Dairy

Used $2.00 ECB from toothbrush

Spent $0.79
I should have paid $1.99 more, but the cashier rang up one of the Pledge free coupons wrong as $4.99. So I ended up getting money off my paper. I didn’t realize this until I got home. All together I spent $9.30 for $36.28 worth of items. I went back for transactions 3-5, since I had my coupons from my paper.

  4. Thanks Ruth. I did get the idea from LWSL on one of your posts. The milk at CVS has coupons for $1.00 off in Smart Source. I am excited.
