I have not been to CVS in a while. It seems like after the initial falling in love with CVS and getting just a ton of things for free or nearly free, my trips have slowed down to going when my ECBs are expiring or when there is some super fantastic deal. Perhaps it is because I have stockpiled enough that I no longer really need anything for quite some time, which is of course the whole point of stockpiling. Now I can pick and choose the perfect deals. It is still a great place to go when you have a shopping compulsion and don't want to actually spend your money. So I had 2.99 in ECBs expiring yesterday and needed to turn them over. When I got to CVS I scanned my card and got another $1 in ECB. So here is what I purchased:
2 Sure, regularly 2.99, on sale 2/$5
-2 $1/1 IP QsFinal Price: 2/$3
ECBs earned: $2 (making them .50 each)
2 Colgate Sensitive Toothpastes, regularly 4.89, on sale 3.99

-I also had the
$4/$20 beauty purchase CVS Q. It did not say what a beauty purchase was so I thought I would give it a shot. In my opinion, cleanliness and sweet smell rank high on the beauty scale. It rang up just fine.

Go HERE to print your $1/1 Muir Glen coupon. This coupon makes the tomato sauce, usually .85 at Publix, free. It is found in the organic section. You can print this twice.
Go HERE to download Ben Harper's album, Diamonds on the Inside, from Amazon for $1.99. He's one of my favorites so I am biased. It's a great album.
