CVS Good Deal of the Week

I went a little off plan this week on my CVS trip. As always, my first stop is that magical little coupon printer/price checker thingy. I got a $10/$50 coupon (Woot!), a $1 off CVS brand water coupon and a $2/2 any CVS brand nuts coupon. So I had to incorporate those into my shopping today.

My haul:


(2) 1” Vinyl Binders
(2) Packs Filler Paper
(2) Paper-Mate Pens
(2) Small note-pads
(2) CVS brand cashews
(1) CVS brand Pantiliners
(1) Gallon T.G. Lee milk
(4) Izze carbonated fruit drinks (I drank one already - YUMMY!) - BOGO this week
(1) Case CVS brand bottled water

Coupons used:
(1) $1/1 any T.G. Lee product (printable available HERE)
(1) $2/2 any CVS brand nuts
(1) $1/1 CVS brand water

I had to trek to 4 different CVS’s (and still didn’t get everything I wanted); used a total of $16.84 in ECBs and paid a total of $3.19 OOP. Got back $15.85 in ECBs to spend next week!

Scenario 1
(2) Speed Stick Pro - $2.99ea - $5.98

Thanks for visiting my Heads or Tails post. I notice you like Harry Potter. I loved the books and have seen most of the movies.
