May CVS Deals -- Earned $22.04 in ECBs

Melinda and I decided to try the May deals early again this month, because by the end of the month our store has nothing. In a town of 40K -- there are about 5 die hard CVS-ers and we are 2 of them.

I did 5 transactions -- yes 5! The nice supervisor was working and she is one of the town's 5. We tried to get our totals to $15.00 or as close as possible, and I think we did a great job. Check out our deals in the spreadsheet.

I compiled my scenarios/transactions in a Google Spreadsheet for easier access and you are more than welcome to use our ideas.

Keep in mind I did have a few ECBs to roll over -- I like having smaller amounts of ECBs to roll than the large ones. My hub's card has two $20.00 ones that I need to mastermind. Should be interesting, since our store is pretty much out of May deals already. But you can absolutely roll your first transaction ECBs into the second and so on. Just switch around which ones you do first.

I paid $2.32 OOP -- although that came from a CVS Gift Card -- so actually I paid nothing and gained about $75.03 in product. Much of these items, our family can use.

The sunflowers seeds, crackers and one Orapik are missing from the photos.

Saturday Savings!

First, B*st Buy wanted to charge us $100 to back up the hard drive -- and before I even got frustrated, the Lord showed me that I just needed to ask for my hard drive back. So I did, and I have it in my possession and can ask someone at work to get the files off that I need. I can not put it in my laptop or it will void the warranty that I just paid for! ugh!

It was a good day for savings, the Lord blessed! Even more than I thought. I even asked the cashier if she was sure that was correct! Silly! Here's a photo of my purchases, not very much when you look at it, but check out the breakdown of cost and savings. (click breakdown)

Total OOP $1.63. Plus $21 Extra Care Bucks back. If you will notice on the Triple A batteries -- there is a $1.00 instant savings coupon right on the package that I did not see until I made it home! {sigh} I did a previous deal for the 3 Tylenol earlier in the week (thanks to Melinda!) and OOP was $2.11 and $10 ECBs. Not to shabby. I had to get some Pumpkin Peeps for the squirt.

Here is a photo I took of Mini last night, she sleeps at the top of the chair and she was out cold! She has such a hard life ... {eyeroll} Keeping busy so I don't have a lot of time to think! Stopped at a bread outlet and they had Sara Lee Bagels for 75 cents a bag! And Whole Grain White bread for 60 cents. I really like their Baked Apple and Honey Wheat bagels -- yum! Plus they freeze well. Have a blessed evening!
