My $5 Challenge Shopping Trip (Includes new CVS $2 off $10 coupon)


Today I decided to make a trip out just to get some of the deals. We're pretty stocked up on our regular grocery items, so today was just to get things I could get at a great price. I decided before I left that I was going to work hard to keep my out of pocket cash to $5 or under. Well did I do it? Let's see!

1st Stop: CVS (I actually visited 2 different CVS's but I'll lump the two together here)
*2 Lamisil Foot Sprays @ 5.79 each = 11.58. I used two 4.00 off 1 coupons from the 7/20 Smartsource insert, plus I earned $10 in ECB's for this deal
*1 Alavert @ 5.99. I used the 4.00 off 1 coupon found here, plus I earned $3 ECB's for this deal.

CVS, Office Max & Staples - My Shopping Trip 7/30

I finally got out and did a little bit of shopping, here's a few of the things I got:

I went to CVS this week after not going for a little while and I found one of the deals to work out pretty well.  I got:

4 packages of Stayfree pads (4.50 each) = 18.00
1 Johnson's Bedtime Baby Wash = 3.99
Total = 21.99
I used two buy one get one free coupons for the Stayfree from the 6/29 Redplum = -9.00
I used one 1.00 off 1 Johnson's product from the 4/27 Redplum = -1.00
I paid 11.99 in ECB's and a few cents in cash and got back $10 ECB's.  So I only "paid" (used ECB's) 1.99 for all that stuff.  I am very happy with that!!

I also visited Office Max and got 3 packs of their brand crayons @ .01 each and 3 mini Sharpie highlighters @ .05 each for a total after tax of .19!

And I ran into Staples and got 2 of the little pencil holders @ .01 each for a total of .02!

I am pretty much stocked up on school supplies at this point and am now just saving them for gifts or donations!  I love the .01 sales!
