CVS - Free-with-profit Glade candle, cheap Cascade and baby wipes

I'm back from vacation and I'm going to try to make the numbers below as accurate as possible to include all the spending I did on our trip and today.

Today I bought:
1 double Sunday paper - $2.50
1 CVS photo book - $7.99 [I had a raincheck - usually these are $12.99]
1 tub of CVS baby wipes - $2.50
1 Glade candle - $6.99
1 package of Cascade actionpaks - $4

I used $17 in ECBs (I had a $10 and a $7 that were close to expiring and the upcoming deals just aren't inspiring enough for me to have waited), $3/Glade, $2/photo book from the flu shot coupon booklet (my favorite cashier gave me one - HEADS UP this only took off $1 and he manually gave me the other $1 off! But this also was a last minute bonus so I threw in the Cascade at the last minute to take advantage of it since it was on sale and we use it all the time) and my photo book raincheck. I paid $3.48 OOP. I got back $6.99 for the Glade candle and $8 for the photobook thanks to the raincheck. Also apparently I put $4 (the Cascade) toward a larger P&G deal to get a free DVD?

Plus my cashier gave me a heads up that photobooks may be on sale (he didn't say free, just on sale) on Black Friday. I hope he's right - I want more of them for my family members!

CVS - Spent ECBs...

This is a placeholder post - I spent $2 in ECBs on some moleskin we needed to fix my daughter's carseat. In retrospect, I could've spent more ECBs and less OOP (I spent about $2.50 OOP) to do this. Ah well, vacation makes things weird.

Will update all the stats later.

ETA: and $3 spent on pantyhose on 10/9 - paid 99cents OOP.

CVS - Free nail polish, free toothpaste, more

I spent some more ECBs because I'm on vacation and they were expiring soon and there were things we needed.

I bought:
1 travel pack of 4 CVS razors
1 travel pack of baby wipes
1 Revlon nail polish
1 Colgate toothpaste
1 bottle CVS-brand ibuprofen

[I bought my newspaper elsewhere.]

I used $1/Colgate, $1/Revlon (beeped but the cashier pushed it through without a word), $9.98 in ECBs. I paid 72 cents (45 cents tax) and got back $5.
