I made a hurried stop at CVS this week. I had to get some pictures printed for our recognition board at work, so decided to pick up a few things for myself while I was there. This was an unplanned, unprepared for shopping trip, so I know I didn’t do as well as I could have had I actually planned it out. Oh well, that happens sometimes and I’m not going to spend a lot of time feeling bad about it.
I was able to buy a few items for the Stamp Out Hunger campaign next month. I bought 3 jars of Skippy peanut butter for $5 (no coupons, darn it), 2 of which I’ll donate. I also got 3 packages of Reach dental floss…they were on sale for $1 each and I had 3 $1 coupons, so I managed to snag those for free. Again, I’ll keep one for myself and donate the other two. I bought two boxes of Natural Instincts hair color, on sale for $5.99 each. I had a $5 off two coupon, so those ended up being right at $3.50 each. Considering the regular price for those is $7.99 to $8.99 each, I feel pretty good about that deal. (And no, I’m not planning to donate either box.) And, being the bad girl that I am, I did buy a bag of Easter pretzel M & Ms for $1.97, not for anyone’s Easter basket, just for me…bad, bad girl!!
I didn’t use any of the ECBs that I had from previous visits and earned no ECBs on this visit. I did, however, finally get something from the magical red machine that didn’t involve candy. I got a $2/2 coupon on any deodorant…from what I’ve seen of the ad previews, this just might come in handy next week!
I’ve already written a couple of things on my list for next week. Palmolive dish soap is on sale for .88 and I have a couple of coupons to lower the price even more. Also, Kleenex will be on sale for .88. I have a few boxes of Kleenex, but I also know that the box in the downstairs bathroom is almost empty and the one in my bedroom is probably about half gone. So, I’ll pick up a couple of boxes, using a .50/2 coupon I happen to have in my possession. Beyond that, I just don’t know what else I’ll add to my list. I do know there won’t be any coupon inserts in this Sunday’s newspaper, so maybe, just maybe, I can sort through my coupons and refine my filing system a little.
Happy CVS shopping, everyone!
