I hadn't planned on going to CVS. I hadn't even looked closely at the ad this week. My afternoon was devoted to getting tags on my car, which were already a month expired. To get the tags I have to have my admissions checked. My car was, of course, deep in piles left behind by my three young children. I decided to clean it up a bit before the admissions guy jumped in. Low and behold I found between the seats some ECBs that I thought I had dropped in the parking lot (very depressing at the time). A number of them were expired, but I had $34 in ECBs that expire tomorrow. I knew that I would not get a good chance to go with the kids around tomorrow so this afternoon was my last chance. Fortunately, I always carry my coupon binder in the car.
So after the tags and with no planning I stopped at CVS. My first move was to use my card at the little machine that spits out coupons when you scan your card. Another complication, I get a $10/$50 coupon and another for a free bottle of CVS mouth wash.
So here is how it went:

OOP: $2.96 (saved 98%)
Also gained 37.48 ECBs. I lost out on a few ECBs, but I expected it when I purchased the Pull Ups and being less than prepared. I am just excited that it went as well as it did and I found lost money!

Great unplanned trip! My unplanned trips alwasy cost me a LOT more. LOL!
I'm amazed. I wish we had CVS! :-)
Great job! I am totally impressed with your purchases for no planning!!!
Where would the machine that spits out coupons be? This is the first I've heard of this. Does every CVS have one of these?
I enjoy your blog, thanks for sharing.
Not all CVS stores have those. The one that I was at is less than a year old so it has all the new CVS technology. I know of three others that do not have this machine so I think it is not too common.
I just wanted to let you know that my CVS takes expired CVS coupons-ie the 10/50 ones-so it might take expired ecbs-the cashier told me they take all expired cvs coupons.
