$5 Off $40 at CVS

Head over to CVS' Facebook page and like them (if you haven't already) and then just enter your ECB cardholder info and they'll provide you with a $5/40 coupon that you can print off and take into CVS and use.

I thought this was a really good (and cute) deal from HouseWares deals today, unfortunately not one I can convince myself we need.  But, I thought I'd share it, you get a set of 4 salad plates and 4 coffee mugs with inspirational sayings/ words on them for just $24 + shipping (usually around $4).

CVS Trip 3/31 - and why you shouldn't shop when you don't feel well

Despite not feeling well all week, I knew I had to get out at some point and get things done.  I posted my Walgreens trip earlier and there were several more things on my list but I finally just gave up and bought only the items I showed because I just didn't have it in me to focus on the deals.  At CVS I got just about everything I went for (although, again they didn't seem to carry the Clean & Clear body wash yet), I just paid more than I should have.  Luckily, I realized it and went back and corrected the mistake. Evidently, the cashier missed scanning one of my Axe BOGO coupons.

(4) Axe shower gels @ $4.50 each
(3) 3 Musketeer mint bars (only 2 shown, yes I ate one) @ $.99 B2G1 FREE
(2) Snickers Eggs @ 2/$1

- (2) BOGO Axe Shower Gels coupon (cashier initially missed one)
- (1) B2G1 Free 3 Musketeers bars coupons
- (1) $1/2 Mars Easter Candy coupon
- (1) $.25/2 Snickers CVS kiosk coupon

- $4/20 email coupon (had to turn around and go home to print this as I saw on my email literally 1 minute after I left the house, luckily I wasn't even out of the neighborhood yet).
- $2.50 ECB

$7.74+tax = $9.10 - I thought this seemed really high, but it wasn't until I was at the chiropractors office around the corner running the numbers through my head that I really figured it out.  When I left there I looked at my receipt and saw where one of the Axe BOGO coupons had been missed, so I went back and she refunded me $4.50, bringing the final total down to:

$3.24 +tax = $4.60 (got back $5 ECB from Axe purchase)

Rite Aid Trip 3/31

I had two things I wanted on this trip, the Axe body wash (which they were low on) and the Clean & Clear bodywash (which it appears that no one locally carries yet).

I found these Reese's bars on clearance for $.99 each and figured they would be a good match with the Rite Aid Video Values coupon for $.50/2.

(3) Axe Body Wash @ $4.50 each
(1) Axe Detailer @ $4.50 each
(2) Planter's NUTrition bars @ 2/$5
(2) Hydrogen Peroxide @ $.99 BOGO
(2) Reese's bars clearance @ $.99

- (2) BOGO Axe shower gel or detailer coupons
- (1) $1/1 NUTrition bars
- (1) $.75/1 NUTrition bars
- (1) $.50/2 Reese's bars VV coupon

- (1) $3/15 RA Survey coupon
- (2) $2/10 Beauty product VV coupon

- $7 +UP rewards

= $2.72 + tax = $4.15 (plus got back $5 +UP from Axe purchase)
