CVS Scenario - week of 5/6

It has literally been weeks since I have been to CVS. I have missed out on several free and better than free deals. I have some ECBs that are expiring (perhaps some that are expired), so I am making a point of going this week.

Transaction #1
1 - U By Kotex
1 - Mars Single Candy Bar
1 - Cottonelle Jonathon Adler Roll Cover
1 - Good'n Natural Bar
3 - General Mills Cereals
1 - Lindor Truffles (bag)
1 - Arizona Iced Tea
1 - Coke 12 pack

-$1 U by Kotex mfg coupon
-$.99 Free Good'n Natural Bar mfg coupon
-$1.10 $1.10/2 General Mills Cereal IP
-$.50 Cheerios Cereal IP
-$1 Lindor Truffles IP (BzzAgent offer)
-$2.51 Coke in Ad coupon (total before Coke and coupons is $20.38)

Total $13.28 OOP, earn $3, $.75, $1.99, $.99 and $4 ECBs.

For the trip, the total OOP is $13.28, with $10.73 in ECBs to roll, for $23.88 in product. A savings of about 62%.

I am also going to check out the Heidi Klum Fragrance. If there is a size that is about (but still above) $25 (and of course, if it smells nice), it could make for a decent deal.

1 - Heidi Klum Fragrance

-$3 Heidi Klum Fragrance IP
-$5 $5/$25 Fragrance CRT

Earn $10 ECBs.
