Amazing shopping trip!

The bigger, Little Mouth is really getting into the couponing thing. She has always loved looking at ads, even when she was a little tyke, and I guess because it has to do with shopping, it's right up her alley.

Today we hit CVS and I was completely floored.  We got all of this (plus Jet Dry and Finish dishwasher tabs not pictured)...



For a total cash outlay of...get this...$14.62 and I still have a $10.00 CVS gift card to use next time, so the net of this shopping trip is $4.62!  I got all of this stuff for LESS that I would have paid for JUST the milk.

I even had to do two transactions, so that made me feel just like an extreme couponer.

It went like this~

Transaction #1
MC = Manufacturer's Coupon
EC$ = Extra Care $ to be used on a future purchase

3 Boxes of Reese's Puffs                    3/$10          $1.00 MC     Received $4 EC$
(not that healthy but the                                 
Little Mouths love to eat
them without milk for a
sweet snack)

1 package M&M Peanut Butter          $0.75                                  Recieved $0.75 EC$
2 gallons Dean Milk                       2 X $2.99                                Recieved $2 EC$
1 GE Light Bulb                                  $2.99                                  Recieved $2 EC$
1 Carmex Plus                                      $2.99         $1.50 MC
Colgate 360 toothbrushes                    2/$6            2*$.50MC       Recieved $4 EC$

This order came to a grand total of $25.21 but I had two $10.00 gift cards from last week. That brought this order to a total of $5.21 (plus tax)


Transaction #2
(the purpose of this transaction is to spend the $8.75 in EC$ that I got on the last transaction and to earn another CVS gift card to use next week)
