CVS Purchases & New CVS Coupon

OK, so I am really, really sick of shopping! I got up early on Sunday morning at 6:45AM to do some CVS transactions. I took the baby to the zoo again with our membership, so I had to shop CVS early this AM while the baby and M.B. were sleeping.

I also had a few $5.00 off $15.00 coupons that came in the newspaper and were expiring today - so I didn't want them to go to waste.

Here is what I got:Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to the breakdown of this deal - but I promise you I will start doing that again when I get more time. You'll have to be patient with me - this blog is a hobby I do in my spare time.

I did have a little help, I had a free pack of diapers coupon from Pampers - so that helped me to do so well today. (With their gifts to grow program, you can save codes to get the coupon and other prizes - many of them with free shipping now) I also had those Pantene coupons that they were giving out at CVS in that little booklet (they were for $2.00 off on one).

If you add up my transactions, I spent $38.36
- $35.96 were Extra Care Bucks
- $2.40 was the cash I spent out of pocket

If you add up my transactions, I earned this many Extra Care Bucks, $46.45.

After calculating everything out, I ended up making some Extra Care Buck profit, about $8.00 worth. I just love it when I can get baby care items on a CVS deal!
