So. Today. I almost skipped CVS entirely because there was only going to be the P&G coupons in the paper - which I don't desperately need - and they don't do double papers on holiday weekends. There weren't any deals that I was really excited about either. But then I saw that the Blade coupon worked on the Blade energy drink, and I figured hey, I'll get $1 overage for that, so I might as well go. And my husband said he wanted a hair care product, and I really feel like $50 in ECBs is too much for me to keep track of (I still have a few big ones that I need to split up or use) so I decided to get that for him too. I checked www.couponmom.com and pulled all coupons for hair care products figuring I'd buy the cheapest for him (of course he doesn't mention what he needs on a week when there are amazing sales/ECBs, but what can ya do, right?).
1 Blade Energy Drink - $1
1 Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste - $2.99
1 regular Sunday paper - $2
1 Dove hair care - $4.99
3 J&J First Aid kits - $2.97
1 small bag of CVS cough drops as filler - 50 cents
Used $2/Blade, $1 CRT for Cogate, $1.50 Dove coupon, and $3/2 J&J printable. Used $6.98 ECBs (adjusted down from $6.99) and 12 cents for the sales tax. Got back $2 for the Colgate (so overall, a $4.99 ECB "loss" - but it went toward the Dove and the newspaper - and the newspaper has coupons sooooo....)
The cashier was confused at first by the Blade coupon - "You didn't get this product, ma'am." And I smiled and said "Oh, no, it's the energy drink." And she apologized profusely when I showed her - and then the coupon went through beep-free and I got the $1 overage, woohoo! (Part of me is tempted to go back and do this deal again but A) I don't want to press my luck, B) I don't really need another $1 at CVS right now and C) Nobody in my household drinks that stuff and I have nobody to give it to! Not sure what I'm going to do with it...)
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! See you in 2009!
