Day 26 - Trip 1

Sadly, the store didn't have two bottles of the Olay (they only had one) and I couldn't come up with a great deal on the fly so I will go to the other CVS later in the week and either use my overage for some stuff I need/want or just get 4 bottles for free (if they have 4 bottles!). Also there were no DVD coupons and the store manager (who works the photo section) didn't know what I was talking about.

Transaction 1:

4 bags of Lifesavers - on sale BOGO at $2.19 so $4.38
2 big bags of M&Ms - $5
2 small bags of M&Ms - $1
1 box of Tums QuikPak - $3.69
1 pack of makeup removing wipes - $2.99

Used $2 skincare coupon, $2.25 Tums coupon, $2 Tums CRT, 2 BOGO Lifesavers coupons* ($4.38), $5 ECBs. Paid $1.64 (21 cents tax). Got back $6 ($5 for candy, $1 for wipes).

*The Lifesaver coupons beeped. I'm not the first person to report this problem. Beware. My store's manager let me use them (they're legit! I have no idea why they beep!) but you may have trouble.

Transaction 2:

1 double paper - $2.50

Used $1 from wipes, paid $1.50.
