How I Saved at CVS Last Week

I finally made it to CVS for this week’s deals. I kept forgetting to print out the $1/1 All coupon. Since All was buy-one-get-one-free this week I wanted to make sure I had two coupons with me.

I think I was stalling because I was contemplating two transactions and the second one was just so-so. In the end I’m glad I didn’t go for it since this helped me reach the point of cutting my grocery bill in half, but more on that on Sunday or Monday.

So here’s what I ended up buying on Thursday:

2 x All (buy-one-get-one-free; $6.49 each)

2 x Colgate Total ($2.99 each)

4 x Maybelline Great Lash (buy-one-get-one-free; $4.99 each)

2 x Johnson’s Buddies soaps ($.99 each)

Glade air freshener ($.99)

TOTAL (before tax): $25.42

Here are the coupons I used:

$5/$25 CVS in-store coupon (I often get this on my register tape or from the scanner)

2 x $1/1 All printable coupon

2 x $1.50/1 Colgate Total printable coupon (you can also get a $1.50/1 in the August 1 issue of All You that’s on sale at Wal-Mart now)

4 x $1/1 Maybelline coupons from the Sunday paper

$2/2 Johnson’s Buddies printable coupon (this may have been maxed out already)

$1/1 Glade coupon from Ladies’ Home Journal

$6.98 ECBs

NEW TOTAL (before tax): $1.44
