CVS for $5.98 Out of Pocket

$5.98 Net OOP

My second stop on my Mission Possible shopping trip today was CVS. I had $5.94 in ECBs (Extra Care Bucks) from last week, my coupons, and the weekly ad circular.

My first stop inside the store was the "magic" coupon machine, where I received $1.50 off of Speedstick (handy since Speedstick is on sale this week) $1 off of Kotex liners, and $5/$30 ($5 off a $30 total purchase--the good thing about these $/$$ coupons at CVS is that you give them this coupon first, so the total can be $30 (or whatever) before coupons! A good way to save some additional cash) I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much, but decided to see what I could find that I knew I wanted, and see how close I was to the total before I decided. This is what I bought:

1 Mennen Speedstick Pro, on sale $2.99, less $1.50 CVS coupon (from the magic coupon machine!), $1.49, this generates a $2 ECB, making this free with overage

2 Kotex panti-liners, $1.49 each, less $1 CVS coupon, less two $1 MQs (manufacturer's coupons), making these free with slight overage

1 CVS pantiliner, on sale $.89, this generates an ECB for $.89 making this free

1 Colgate Max White, on sale $2.99, less $1 MQ, this generates a $1 ECB, net of $.99

1 Colgate Total Advanced, clearanced to $2, less $1 MQ, or $1 (and these are large tubes, not the small ones)

1 Listerine 1 Liter, on sale 3.99

1 Neosporin, $6.19, less $1 MQ, and 1 Bandaids, $4.19, less $.50 MQ, these are on special, buy $10 worth of Neosporin and/or Johnson & Johnson first aid products, get $5 ECBs, making these basically net of $2.69 & $1.19 each

1 gallon milk, $3.59--this was a mistake on my part, 2% is on sale $2.79 and I picked up the wrong kind

1/2 gallon chocolate milk, $2.99--pure indulgence

My total before coupons was $32.80; after coupons and ECBs from last week, total cash paid was $14.87, and I received $8.89 in ECBs for next time, giving me a net OOP of $5.98.
