After Monday’s visit to CVS there were a few items I was thinking about purchasing. Yesterday I decided it was well worth the trip there with all of the coupons that I had. So after NHL’s nursery school party and swim lesson the two boys and I went to CVS hunting for certain items.

This is everything that I bought: 

Once again I broke them into three transactions to maximize using coupons. Below are breakdowns of everything.

Transaction 1:

Total of transaction including sale prices – $15.98

2 packages of Pampers.

Coupons used – $5.00

ECB used – $9.98
ECB earned – None ($16 toward ECBs earned after spending $20 on Pampers)

Total out of pocket – $1.12

Transaction 2:

Total of transaction including sale prices – $14.96

4 bags of Chex Mix (various types)
2 Listerine Berry Smart Rinse
2 sheer CVS bandages

Coupons used – $7.00

ECB used – $6.00

Total out of pocket – $2.12

Transaction 3:

Total of transaction including sale prices – $15.98

2 packages of Pampers.

Coupons used – $5.00

ECB used – $10.00
ECB earned – $5.00

Totals for all items:

Total of  transactions including sale price –  $46.92

Sure I lost some ECB’s buying more diapers than I needed for the $20.00 total, but I saved in not having to drive to BJ’s for diapers for a little while.

Thanks to Money Saving Mom for all of the great tips!
