I made a quick stop at CVS today and just wanted to share my haul. I spent $0.29 OOP for everything pictured above and came home with $11.58 in Extra Bucks.
Here’s how it broke down:
(2) Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner @ 2/$5.97, Get $2 ECBs
-Used FREE and $1/1 coupons that came in the mail last week*
(1) Gain Liquid Detergent @ $0.88
-Used $0.20/1 coupon from PG 1/16
(1) Clairol Nice & Easy Foam @ $7.99, Get $1 ECB
-Used FREE coupon that came in the mail*
(2) Colgate Toothpastes @ $3.79, Get $3.79 ECBs ea.
-Used (2) $1/1 coupons
(1) Ruffles Potato Chips @ $0.99
-Used $0.99/1 coupon from Facebook (no longer available)
Used $8 ECBs
Total OOP: $0.29
Received $10.58 ECBs plus $1 ECB from my Green Bag Tag
*I like to save my free coupons for times like this when they will give me a little more bang for my buck.
For those of you who are new to CVS (or couponing in general), I just want to give you some encouragement to hang in there! This trip took me about 15 minutes to plan and I was in the store for about 20 minutes (with two boys in tow!). This whole couponing thing is definitely worth it–and I promise it gets easier!
I also like to celebrate the small victories. So it’s not thousands of dollars of groceries for like $0.02, but it’s still a big DEAL to me! 🙂
