CVS Scenarios - week of 10/29

There are a number of things that I plan to pick up this week at CVS. I am half tempted to go back on Thursday to get some 1/2 price candy, but am wondering how that might work with some of this weeks ECB deals. For those that are spend $$ get $, I am wondering if they will exclude post Halloween clearance and just be no longer available.

Transaction #1
1 - Naturemade Fish Oil
1 - Naturemade Vitamin C (the right sizes to get to $20 total)

-$1 Naturemade mfg coupon
-$1 Naturemade mfg coupon

Total about $18, earn $5 ECBs. I think I might just have a $5/$20 CRT for vitamins, but need to confirm when it expires.

Transaction #2
3 - Chex Mix/Gardettos
1 - Dawn Dish Soap

-$1 $1/2 Chex/Gardettos mfg coupon
-$.50 Chex IP
-$.50 Dawn mfg coupon

Total $4.99, pay with $5 ECB adjusted down. Earn $2 ECBs.

Transaction #3
2 - Tootsie Pops (my husband likes them)

Total $4, pay with $2 ECBs and $2 OOP. Earn $1 ECB.

Transaction #4
2 - Dawn Dish Soap

-$.50 Dawn mfg coupon

Total $.98, pay with $1 ECB adjust down.

For the trip, the total OOP is about $20 for $33 in product at sale prices, a savings of about 40%.
