CVS trip 6/4

After much research and planning and coupon clipping and list-making, my CVS trip didn't turn out the way I had wanted it to yesterday. For $9.25 OOP I got a good bit of stuff, but I know I could have done so much better had everything been in stock! I ended up making 2 seperate trips to two different CVS stores. My first trip was pretty disappointing so I had to go check out the other store. I think I am going to make the second one my go-to store because the couple of times that I have been in there, they seem to have just about everything that is on sale. Anywho, here is how it went:




Transaction #1 (first store):

• (2) Listerine Smart Rinses @ 3.49 ea. (wanted 3 of them but all they had were 2)
• (1) 2 pk Oral-B toothbrushes @ 6.99
• (2) packages of Gold Emblem candy @ .99 ea
  

Total: $15.95 + tax

• - $3/15 coupon
• - $1 off 2 Gold Emblem candy
• - $4.99 ECBs from last week

OOP: $7.42

Got back: 6.98 for the Listerine and $6.99 for the toothbrushes

I know that is not too bad considering I spent $12.41 with the previous ECB and came out $1.56 ahead.

Transaction #2 (first store):

• (4) Chex Mix @ $1 ea.
• (4) Febrezes @ 2/$5
• (2) Dawn Dish Soaps @ 2/$2
• (1) Brut deodorant @ 2.69
• (1) Ladies Choice deodorant @ .99
• (1) Reeses candy @ .79 (needed a filler and thought they were only .50, oops!)

Total: $20.47 + tax

• - $4/$20
• - .25 off Dawn
• - (4) .50 off Chex Mix
• - 6.98 ECB from #1
• - 6.99 ECB from #1
  

OOP: .25

Got back 5.00 for Febreze, 1.00 for Dawn, 3.00 for Brut

All in all, not too bad considering they were out of a lot of stuff... didn't have as many Brut's and Listerine's that I wanted, didn't have the bandaids, and I could not find the Pantene products that were on my coupons for $1.50 off one. So I had to quickly throw something together with what they did have. So, on to the second store...

Transaction #3 (2nd store):

• (2) Brut deodorants @ 2.69 ea.
• (1) Gillette Fusion razor @ 9.99
• (2) Spices @ .99 ea (not on sale but needed them)
  

Total: $17.35 + tax

• - $3/15
• - $4 off Fusion razor
• - $9 ECBs from first store

OOP: $1.57

Got back: 6.00 for 2 Bruts, 4.00 for the razor

So for $9.25 OOP I got:

• (3) Brut deodorants
• (4) Chex Mixes
• (2) Listerine Smart Rinse mouthwashes
• (4) Febreze products
• (2) Dawn Dish Soaps
• (2) Bags of candy
• (1) 2 pk Oral B toothbrushes
• (1) Ladies Choice deodorant
• (1) package of Reeses cups

And I still have $10 ECBs for next week. PLUS, at the second store they had rebate forms for the Listerine so I snagged a couple of those! :)

I still couldn't find the Pantene to use with my coupons at the second store. My coupons are for Beautiful Lengths and Restoratives. I saw the Restoratives products but they weren't 3/$10. Anyone else having trouble find them? I wonder if they will accept the coupons I have for any Pantene?

Hopefully next week I will be able to get a lot more for less $$!
