CVS Trip 10/4/10

I must admit I was a little frustrated going into CVS this week.  There are quite a few coupons out there for the deals I wanted to take advantage of, but I didn't have, couldn't find, or couldn't print any of them.  To top it all of, the CVS I usually go to didn't have everything I wanted so I actually had to go to the CVS that I have boycotted (gasp!).  I refuse to shop at that CVS because the manager is so rude.  I used to be a retail manager and couldn't imagine ever talking to customers the way she does.  That CVS is in the middle of the two I usually go to and I will usually drive right past it, to go to the one further away, but it was late last night and I needed to get home.  So I went in with a severe lack of manufacturer's coupons; however, I still managed to come out well with CVS coupons and ECB.

Transaction #1 at Store #1:
Bought:
4 Revlon Nail Polishes at $3.99 each:  $15.96
1 Bengay:  $5.99
2 Halloween Face Paints at $1.99 each:  $3.98
1 Halloween Drink Cup:  $0.99

Used:
$7/$15 Revlon CVS coupon (printed on bottom of receipt last week)
$5/$5 or more Halloween purchase (printed from the red machine)
$2/1 Bengay product from the 10/3/10 RP
$13.00 ECB (from last week)
Total Spent:  $1.95 (my subtotal before tax was -$0.08)
Total Saved:  $34.00
Got Back:  $14.00 ECB ($12.00 for Revlon and $2.00 for Bengay)

Transaction #2 at Store #2:
Bought:
2 Revlon nail polishes at $3.99 each:  $7.98
1 Schick Hydro razor:  $8.97
1 Renu contact solution:  $7.99

Used:
$5/$25 CVS coupon
$4.00/1 Schick Hydro 5 razor from the 10/3/10 SS
$14.00 ECB (from first transaction)

Total Spent:  $3.78 (including tax)
Total Saved:  $27.02
Got Back:  $18.99 ECB ($6.00 for Revlon, $7.99 for Renu, and $5.00 for Schick Hydro)

I might go back and do the P & G deal and see if I can get another $5/$5 Halloween coupon.  I'm still debating.  I was really excited to get the FREE face paint since Alex decided she wants to be a cow for Halloween.  Let's just hope she doesn't change her mind.
