CVS 1st attempt - WOW! That was cheap!

So I haven't really tried out this extra bucks thing before, but they threw a bunch of coupons at me, and I saw posts on the blogs I follow about the match-ups (extra bucks + coupons = saving a lot of money), so I figured I'd try it. Here's what I got:
  • BIG OL' PACK o' Huggies Naturals Wipes (214 wipes)
  • 36 ct Huggies Size 2 Diapers
  • 40 ct Huggies Size 1 Diapers
  • (2) Pantene Shampoos
  • (2) Kellogg's Raisin Bran
  • 6 ct Bounty Select-a-Size Paper Towels
  • Schick Hydro 5 Razor
  • Honey Altoids
Total Cost: 7.93

Coupons I used:
  • $15 Extra Bucks on any purchase (this came through email)
  • $4 off $20 @ CVS (this came through email)
  • $2 off 2 Pantene
  • (2) $3 off Huggies
  • $5 off Schick Hydro
  • $2 off Huggies Wipes
  • $2 Extra Bucks (used on 2nd ring up, earned on 1st ring up)
  • $3 Extra Bucks (used on 2nd ring up, earned on 1st ring up)
  • $4 Extra Bucks (used on 2nd ring up, earned on 1st ring up)
This is like a game to me. I love it!

Want to know the funny thing? We went for half price frappuccinos at Starbucks afterward and I spent $7.14 for 3 frapps - almost the same as what I spent at CVS for all that stuff. This makes me LOL.

  2. Haha, isn't that the truth? I bought cloth diapers, but am stocking up on different sizes for overnights and car rides, etc. Thanks :)
