i think i had my best CVS trip to date!!!
i bought $41.94 worth of products for only $1.35 out of my pocket.
here's the proof:
so how did i do this??
here's how (props to southern savers - as usual):
i bought all of these items in 1 transaction...
1 purex laundry sheets ($7.99)
... on sale for $5.99
... used $3 coupon (RP 8/15)
... got back $2 ECBs (paid $0.99)
1 zegereid otc ($12.99)
... on sale for $9.99
... used $4 coupon (all you magazine)
... got back $7 ECB (so i made $2.99 off this item)
1 crest prohealth toothpaste ($4.99)
... on sale for $3.49
... used $0.75 coupon (RP 8/1)
... got back $2.50 ECBs (paid $0.24)
1 glide prohealth floss ($4.49)
... on sale for $3.49
... used $0.75 coupon (RP 8/1)
... got back $2.50 ECBs (paid $0.24)
1 blink tears eyedrops ($9.99)
... on sale for $7.99
... used $1.50 coupon (printable)
... got $7.99 ECBs in return (so i made $1.50 off this item)
1 orbit gum ($1.49) - filler
... on sale for $0.99 (had to spend this to reach $30)
i purchased all of these items, then i:
- used my $5/$30 CVS coupon (emailed to me)
- used my $3 CVS coupon i received in honor of my birthday (emailed to me)
- used my $13.94ECBs from last week
total out of pocket = $1.35
and i received $21.99 ECBs in return!!
so now i can use my $21.99 ECBs & attempt to do this all over again next week by buying the products that are on sale, have coupons, & give you ECBs in return.
i have been trepidatious to try out coupons @ the grocery store but i finally did this past week. kroger was having an awesome mega event sale. i ended up spending less than $35 on over $89 worth of groceries!! praise the Lord!
with the upcoming arrival of our baby, i am striving to be all the more wise with our money and to save in areas that i can. i figure... if there are ways to save over 50% on groceries and even get paid to purchase some items, it's definitely worth my time & effort to learn how!
even in such a mundane thing as grocery shopping, you can give Him glory by being a wise steward of your money. that is my hope!
:) happy couponing!
