Cheap Necessities!

DSC02152The kids and I had to run out to CVS real quick-like this morning for some necessities.  We needed milk and I needed more pain patches for my BACK (did I mention 1,000 times that I hurt my stupid back??) so I checked my coupons and the CVS ad to see what else I should pick up, as I had gotten a $5/$25 CVS coupon in my email yesterday and I wanted to see if I could make use of it!  So I formulated a plan and here’s what we got:

Milk $2.79

Bengay pain patches $5.99

Pantene hairspray clearance $2.49

2 John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo/Conditioner $10

3 clearance Now & Later (mommy needs fruity candy!) 66 cents  (total! woot!)

Tums (mommy has heartburn!) $3.79

total = $25.72

coupons:

-$5/$25 CVS email coupon

-$1 Bengay printable

-$2 Pantene CVS coupon from scanner

-$2 Tums CVS coupon from scanner

-$3 John Frieda from recent insert

-$2 John Frieda from recent insert

=$10.72

paid with 6 ECB, so total was $4.72 + tax. I paid $6.05 and got back 6 ECB, 1 for the Tums, 2 for the Bengay, and 3 for the John Frieda.

So my net spent was LESS than the two items I needed, the pain patches and the milk. Yay!!!
