Sunday $avings: CVS

On the last Sunday of 2012, I used my newly found coupon knowledge to help my sister get a few necessities from CVS. This has been one of my most successful outings. Here is a visual of the item we purchased.

• Head and Shoulders Green Apple 2/ $10
• Halls Cough Drops 3/$4
• Eclipse Gum 2/$4
• Hershey Kiss Holiday 2 @ $1.99 each
• Duracell  AA 6 pack $5.99
• Aveeno cream $4.99
• Aveeno Moisture Wipes $4.99
• Robitussin $6.99
• Aveeno Soap Bar 2 @$3.69 each
• Aveeno Daily Moisturizer $12.79
• Sally Hanse Hair Remover $6.79
• Suave Hair Conditioner $1.99

Total before Tax and Coupons: $73.89

When I went to CVS I had a coupon for pretty much everything on the shopping list. I also had $10 in extra care bucks from previous December purchases and $5 beauty extra care bucks. CVS had also sent me and email coupon of $4 off a purchase of $20. That’s $19 off right off the bat. I scanned my CVS card at the coupon machine and it printed out two more coupons I could stack with the ones I already had.

Total in coupons was $42.00!

Even I was surprised. I know I had planned well for this trip but it still blew my mind.

The proof is in the coupons.

That is a total of 43% savings!

I’m definitely a coupon believer now and I’m so glad I figured out the CVS extra care bucks.
