Trip two of the day! (Check out trip one.) I walked to the other close CVS to use my $5/$25 and finish up the L'Oreal deal - and now I'm so confused as to how CVS is determining sales tax all over again!
I was going to get my free Rice Krispies as filler to get up to $25, but shockingly this store had the free-after-ECB headphones in stock! I think it had something to do with the fact that the headphones were locked up so people had to ask for them.
1 L'Oreal Skingenesis towelettes - $5.99
1 L'Oreal Revatalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair 24 Hr Eye Repair Duo - $14.99
1 Phillips headphones - $6.99
Used $5/$25, $5/L'Oreal Revitalift printable, $1/L'Oreal cleanser. The cashier said my total was $18-something. I had my husband and child with me, and there was a line behind me with only one cashier working, so I got flustered and forgot to ask what the pre-tax total was. This apparently worked to my advantage, OOP-wise, though! I handed over $17.98 in ECBs - all the $4 ECBs I'd gotten from the Softsoap that were expiring soon, plus a $1.98. I paid 60 cents OOP and was surprised - I thought it would be much higher. Well...my pre-tax total was NEGATIVE $1.01. This is the second time at that store that I've managed to get a negative total - I have NO idea why. (All my ECBs rang up as MFR COUPON on the receipt.) So my tax was $1.61 but I only paid 60 cents. I got back $16.99 in ECBs - I "lost" an ECB but I don't mind since I spent it on sales tax and paid so much less OOP! (My goal is low OOP and the number of ECBs I currently have is beginning to get unwieldy anyway.) I sort of wished I'd had another Ready Fill booklet, but this still was a great deal as far as I'm concerned!
Next week there are two good moneymakers with printable coupons (Poise and Carefree). Unfortunately when I was printing one of the coupons, I messed up my printer, so I'm one shy of what I want to have (4 Carefree, 4 Poise). Then again, I don't know if I *NEED* so many moneymakers next week! Anyway, I'm on a quest for one more printable Carefree coupon by next Sunday...
