CVS and Rite Aid Savings for this Week!

CVS

Well, there really wasn't much out there... and I needed to spend $22 at CVS this week (the $20 ECBs from last week, plus the $2 from my $2/$10), so here is what we did:

• Bought 2 of the Colgate Toothbrush Value Packs at $4.99 each (ouch), but I had a $1/2 coupon so that helped! And, this generated $2 ECBs each... totaling $4 ECBs (and that's all I got in ECBs this week)
• Bought 2 boxes of Post Honey Bunches of Oats ~ on sale for 2/$5 and I had a $1/2 coupon so really I got 2/$4!
• Of course we needed diapers, which are never on sale, but we got them free again this week! Price: $8.99
• I used the manufacturers coupons listed above
• then I used my $2/$10 (actually, I think I gave the poor new guy this one first... he just looked at it like, "ah... what am I supposed to do with this?"... he started yesterday and in walks me today with coupons!)
• Then I had my $20 in ECBs... but my total was now $19.97! Seriously, it says on there that it is good for "up to" $20... can't they just toss the extra $.03... they don't loose anything do they? So... I add on Spree Candy for $.69 (bonus for me anyway!)

Out of pocket expense for this week at CVS = $.66
ECBs rolled over for next week = $4 (ok, so I ate a bunch of ECBs this week, but I got free cereal and free diapers!... again! So I'm living with it and we will start growing them again next week I hope!)

Rite-Aid

• Bought Rice Krispies @ $2
• Use Kellogg’s $1/1 coupon
• Bought BIC Razors @ $3.50
• Use BIC $1.50/1 coupon
• Bought Act Mouthwash @ $3.49
• Use Act $1/1 coupon
• Bought Nauzene Chewables @ $5.99

Expected Rebates = $9.99
Total OOP after Rebates = $1.26

This was our first time with Rite-Aid's rebate program. If we hadn't bought the cereal, I believe we would have made $.50... ish. :) This has been a crazy cereal month for us!
