CVS Shopping Trip Week of 2/27



I spent more out of pocket this week than I normally do.  I started with a pitiful $4 ECB.  I have been lukewarm about the deals at CVS lately.  Not sure if it's just me or not.   I almost didn't do the P&G deal for the toliet paper but then I noticed we were down to only 2 packs from the last deal.  Not knowing if a "better" deal would come along, I decided to go ahead and do it. 

Here's the rundown:

Trans. 1
 1 Oral B power toothbrush @ $6 
 - used $3/1 from 2/27 P&G
 1 Crest Toothpaste @ $3.29
 - used $1/1 from 2/27 P&G
 - used $4 ECB
total spent:  $1.29
received $3 ECB for Crest
received $3.29 for Oral B

Trans. 2
1 Crest toothpaste @ $3.29
 - used $.75/1 insert coupon
1 Physician's Formula Eye Liner Serum @ $10.99
 - I will submit for "Try Me Free" rebate making it FREE!
 - used $3.29 ECB
total spent (not including PF): $0.00
received $3.29 ECB for Crest
received $7 ECB for Physician's Formula

Trans. 3
4 Carmin Basic 12 roll toilet paper @ $4.99
 - used 1 $.25/1 from 2/27 P&G
(this low value was not worth ordering more)
1 Bounty 8 roll paper towls @ $5.99
 - used 1 $.25/1 from 2/27 P&G
3 Puffs tissues @ $1
 - used $.50/2 from 2/27 P&G
1 Dawn dish soap @ $.94
(there is a $.20/1 insert coupon from 2/27 that I forgot to take.  Not worth the drive to get it.)
used $3 ECB
used $3.29 ECB
used $7 ECB
received $10 ECB (for spending $30 on P&G products)
total spent:  $15.60


Total oop:  $16.29 (yes, I know that seems like a lot!)
total saved:  (at sale prices) $37.32
ECB remaining:  $10
Net oop:  $6.29 (sounds better!)


So I ended up with:
1 power toothbrush
2 Crest toothpaste
1 Physician's Formula eye liner
3 Puffs tissues
1 Dawn dishwashing liquid
4 12 pk. toilet paper
1 8 pk. paper towels

When you lay it all out, it doesn't seem SO bad!  Does it?!? I figure we won't need TP for a VERY long time! :)
