Shopping Trip: CVS, 1/17/10

I’m putting this one up a little late, but I’m pretty proud of it. CVS has some great deals, but they only come around once in a blue moon. This was a blue moon!

Trip One: Six cases of Pepsi products for $20. Using a coupon for $4 off a $20 purchase made it six cases for $16. With tax, it was $16.40, and I got $10 back in Extra Care Bucks.

Trip Two: One 20-pack of Charmin. Regular price $15.99, sale $12.99. Using the $10 Extra Bucks from the first trip, plus $2 more in Extra Bucks I had as a reward for my fall spending, it was 99 cents out of pocket. $1.04 with tax, and I got $4 back in Extra Bucks for this one.

Trip Three: One six-pack of Bounty paper towels. Regular price $10.99 (really?!), sale $6.88, minus the $4 in Extra Bucks from the second trip = $2.88, or $3.22 with tax.

All told, I got $56.92 worth of stuff (the Pepsi is $4.99 at regular price) for $20.66, or 64 percent savings. And we’re good on Pepsi for a good long while. Hooray!
