Still learning but here's how i did at CVS, better than my 1st time.

I got everthing pictured here for $17.26 oop and still have $10 ECBs for next week.


Well I'm still learning how to use coupons and I think I did well this time. It took 3 transactions, but I did it in one trip. I don't live by any of the stores I shop at because we live outside the city (about 18 miles away) so I try do my shopping all in one trip.

1st Transaction

2 Dawn dish soap 2/2$ (used 2cpn $1 off free after cpn earned 1ECB)
2 Febreeze @ $3.99
2 Febreeze Air Effects @ 2/$5 (used 2 BOGO air effects free earned $5 ECBs)
2 Pert Plus 2/$5 (used 1 $3/1 and $2/1 cpn free after cpns)
2 CVS pantiliners on sale at .89 (earned 1.98 ECBs)
2 Sure deodorants @ $2.89 (used BOGO cpn earned $3 ECBs)
1 CVS exfoliating wipes $3.49 ( used $2 off cvs skincare cpn, earned $1 ECB)
I didn't have any ECB's so I paid $11.72 oop.

2nd Transaction

2 Burt's Bees total body sample kit @ $1.25 (found on clearance table original price $11.70)
2 CVS premium cotton 10ct travel size @ .25 (another cleance find)
1 gallon of milk $3.79
3 clear hair ties @ .29 (another clearnce find)
2 Olay regenerist facial cloths @ $5.99 (2 $3 off cpn)
1 CVS exfoliating wipes @ $3.49 ( used $2 off cvs skincare cpn, earned $1 ECB)
2 Johnson buddies bar soap @ .99 ( used $2/2 cpn, free after cpn)
Used $10.00 in ECBs from 1st transaction, $5/$20 cvs cpn and paid $1.21 oop.

3rd Transaction-I had to do a 3rd transaction because it wouldn't accept anymore of my cpns.

1 Gillete 2in1 body wash @ $3.99 (used $1 cpn)
1 Olay bodywash @ $5.99 (used $2 cpn and earned $10 ECBs with $20 in Olay products)

Again I think I did pretty well for a beginner and I have $10 ECB's for next week. Yeah!
