CVS Deals - 2/19 (and the rest of the week)

Wow! What a week it was. I find that in the winter time, it seems to be a real struggle some days for me to even get to the store. Then, when I finally do get to the store, I lose half of my coupons, because of course I had them loose and a huge gust of wind happened to blow, right as I was picking them up to take them into the store. I had to change a few of my plans as a result of no longer having certain coupons. In the end, I still think I did pretty good. I actually was at CVS three times this week - unheard of! - and still didn't get quite everything I had intended to.

1st visit
My friend doesn't use Aussie and had two coupons, so we went together and I used her card and two coupons to get two Aussie hair products.

Transaction #1
1 - Aussie Mousse

-$1 Aussie Mfg coupon

$1.99 (+ tax) OOP, earned $2 ECBs.

Transaction #2
1 - Aussie Spray

-$1 Aussie Mfg coupon

Paid with $2 ECB and tax OOP.

2nd Visit
This was the fateful, coupons blowing away visit. I had to change up the Glade deal a bit to use the coupons that I had left and I didn't get the Purex, since I had lost those coupons to the wind.

Transaction #1
3 - Benefiber Sticks

-$6 ($2 x 3) Benefiber IP

Paid with $5, $5.49 and $1 ECB and $5.58 OOP. Earned $10 ECBs.

Transaction #2
2 - Covergirl Clean Foundation
1 - Glade Sense and Spray
2 - Glade Sense and Spray refills
1 - Aussie Conditioner

-$1 Covergirl Mfg coupon
-$6 Covergirl BOGO face product Mfg coupon
-$3 Glade Sense and Spray mfg coupon
-$2 $2/2 Glade Sense and Spray Refills
-$1 Aussie Mfg coupon

Paid with $10 ECBs and $5.68 OOP. Earned $5, $4 and $2 ECBs.

3rd Visit
On my way to pick up pizza tonight, I decided to stop in and see if another store had the Crest ProHealth Rinse, as the other store had been out. I was in luck and they did.

Transaction #1
2 - Crest ProHealth Enamel Rinse

-$2 Crest Rinse Mfg coupon
-$2 Crest Rinse Mfg coupon

Paid with $2 ECBs and $1.46 OOP. Earned $7 and $1 (green bag tag) ECBs.

I started the week with $11.49 in ECBs and finished the week with $17 in ECBs. I spent $12.72 OOP for an increase of $5.51 in ECBs, or a net cost for all of this product of $7.21. (in addition, of course I spent $2 for two Aussie hair care items on my friend's card). According to my receipts, I saved $61.82.

I also intend to submit the three Glade items for the $5 SC Johnson rebate. So, after that the deal will seem even better.

Despite the loss of coupons to the weather, it was a pretty good week at CVS.
