Today was another reminder why I love CVS so very much.

Seriously.  I have a crush on that place.

I got everything pictured above for $3.61 today.  Plus I received $8 in ECB’s back at checkout!

Here is the breakdown:

(5) All Laundry Detergent @ $3.99 ea.
(1) Colgate Total toothpaste @ $3
(2) Jergens Lotions (3 oz.) @ $2.67 ea.
(2) gallons of milk @ $8.04
Used $3/2 All Product from RP 01/05/14 #2
Used $1/1 All Product from RP 01/05/14 #2
Used $2.00 off any 2 All laundry detergent coupon
Used $2.25/1 Colgate Total CVS coupon (from CVS coupon printer)
Used $1/2 Lotions CVS coupon from last week’s coupon printer
Used $19.79 in ECB’s
Paid $8.61 out of pocket
Will receive $5 in my SavingStar account.
$3.61 after coupons and SavingStar deposit!

Plus I received $3 for the All ECB deal and $5 for the Jergens deal.  I also just realized that I bought one extra All Detergent than I needed to get the ECB’s.  Oops!

Update: Here is a deal idea for you if you’d like to work your own deal.  You’ll be getting $35.15  worth of products for just $6.05:

Note: Be sure to clip the SavingStar offer and add your CVS card prior to your purchase.

If you are new to shopping at CVS, be sure to check out my CVS 101 post for more info.

Also, if you haven’t signed up for the CVS Advisor Panel yet, be sure to do so.  I used $5 in ECB’s from a short survey that I completed for them last week.
