CVS Deals - Thanksgiving Day ($95 in free product!!)

I headed out this morning to take advantage of all of the free/near free deals that CVS was offering. Unfortunately, I wasn't there early enough to get everything, for a few items rain checks were available, but not for all.

-$1 Revlon mfg coupon
-$1 Revlon mfg coupon

Paid with $1.69, $2.99, $3.99, $.99, $1, $.75 and $5.98 ECBs and $1.76 (plus tax) OOP. Earned $4, $1.69, $1.99, $4.99 and $2 ECBs. I am realizing as I type this that one of my Revlon nail colors I grabbed didn't apply to the offer - I will have to stop back in and see if they can allow for me to do an exchange.

Transaction #5
1 - Phillips Ear Buds
1 - BeKool Kids

Paid with $2, $4 and $4.99 ECBs and $.49 (plus tax) OOP. Earned $6 and $4.99 ECBs.

I inadvertantly did a Transaction #6 that was returned and applied as a gift card credit. I had thought that the Phillips ear bud deal was limit of 2, which it was not.

Transaction #7
1 - Wet'n Wild Fast Dry Kits

Paid with $1.99 ECB and $.89 (plus tax) OOP. Earned $2 ECBs.

I started the day with $14 in ECBs and finished the day with $14.18 in ECBs (and gift card because of my error). I spent $3.63 (plus tax) OOP - a total of $7.84. I feel that I got a lot of stuff for essentially nothing. The sale price value of everything purchased today is $95.73.

It will be even a little better after I stop back in and get the right nail polish. I will net a refund of $.50 on a gift card ($5.49 vs the $4.99 sale) and another $4 ECB. Which, means that tax aside, it will have been a net zero day - I will have paid $3.13 plus tax OOP, will have $4.18 more in ECBs than I started with and will have $95.23 in product for essentially free (even if you count the tax my net cost was $3.16 - it's a savings of 97%. Now, that's what I call a GREAT Deal!
