Photo Show and Tell CVS 1/6/10

This isn’t much to show.. But, I wanted to give an example of when your plans fall through and what you can do when you have no coupons to use but yet you still want to save a ton of money… I went into CVS today with grand plans.  I had my coupons organized in my envelope and my list ready to go.  I was planning on using my $5.00 off of $20.00 coupon and I had just the right amount of coupons to use with just the right amount of ECBs so that I didn’t have to spend more than a dollar.  Well………. that didn’t happen.  My CVS was out of all of the good deals on my list.  And, I still had ECBs that were expiring.  So, here’s what I bought – can you tell I’m running a half marathon on Saturday?

Grand Total: My total came to $13.21.  I used my expiring $12.45 ECBs.  Remaining balance after ECBs was 76 cents!  I saved $21.42 which is 96.6% savings!  (I used a CVS gift card I earned when I transferred a ____ to CVS so I actually spent no money out of pocket!)  The best part of this deal is that I earned $5.00 ECBs so I now have more money to spend at CVS!!

P.S. Don’t forget that CVS gives rainchecks for items they are out of stock.
