CVS + Frys 5/28

I made TWO shopping trips tonight.  No pictures this time, just trying to hurry and explain my deals and then catch some Zzzzzzz's as the Monkey will be awake by 7am. :-)

CVS

1 Revlon "PhotoReady" concealer--$10.99
2 Scott 12-pack toilet paper (1257 sq. ft each)--$6.99 each
1 Preparation H 10-count individual wipes--$3.99

I paid a TOTAL of $10.43, and have $4 ECB's in my pocket for next time.  Here's how I did it:

First transaction:  Bought the preparation-H wipes.  Ahem.  :::awkward pause:::  Actually, I bought them because I literally got PAID $2 to take them out of the store.  They cost $3.99, but there was a special where you got $3.99 in Extra Care Bucks at the end of the transaction, so essentially free.  I used a $2 coupon specifically for preparation-H wipes that I printed online, PLUS I had $2 in ECB's from a purchase last month.  So I paid a total of 18 CENTS, and then got $3.99 in ECB's.  So basically I made $2, because the $2 ECB that I used to buy them turned into $4 ECB's at the end.   So did I *need* to buy them? No.  Did they lower the price of my toilet paper?  Absolutely.  (I can see it now: "Buy Preparation-H wipes, lower your cost of toilet paper!"  Hahahaha, what an ad!  Lol, maybe I'm the only one laughing...)

Second transaction:  Bought the 2 Scott toilet papers and the Revlon concealer, using a $1/1 Scott coupon and $2/1 Revlon coupon.  I also used the $3.99 ECB's from transaction #1, plus a $4 off a $20 purchase and a $5 off a $15 purchase.  Thus my total for transaction #2 was $10.43.  I also earned $4 in ECB's for next time because I spent $10 on Revlon products.  So if you want to be really accurate, I could say I spent $6.43 total.

But even just going with the total of $10.43, AND supposing I paid that for the toilet paper alone, that's still less than half a penny per square foot of toilet paper.  And a good "stock-up" price is considered a penny per square foot.  So I got a smokin' deal (plus some prep-h wipes and concealer, lol!)!!

Phew!  Now onto frys...

THE END.
