I went to CVS to do the cereal deal. I started out with $5.50 in ECBs. While there I picked up the toothbrushes and Nivea lip care. I also found a doll to add to my gift stash. After coupons and ECB's I spend $8.40 OOP and earned $10.99 in ECBs to use next time.
I went to CVS today with this grand plan to get 4 boxes of cereal, body wash and energy gels for free. Sadly when I got there they only had 2 boxes of cereal left. So I did my best to put together a new deal while dealing with two boys that asked for everything in the store that had sugar.
Excedrin (Reg. $5.99, Sale $2.50 - Free coupon = FREE)
2 kashi cereals (Reg. $4.69, Sale $3 - 1 free coupon & 1 $1.50 off Q = $1.50/2)

I used a $5 off $20 from the paper and paid with $9 ECBs and .50 OOP for tax. I earned back $5.50 ECB.
We ran out of batteries for all the toys (again!) so we made a quick run to Target. I picked up a couple other items while we were there.

Total spent $13.18 and saved $7.68.
I originally headed to CVS to use my $5 off $20 coupon to score some cheap soda but they were out of the Ear Rinse that would help push my total up to $20. So I walked around the store a bit and noticed some great clearance deals in the food isle.

I went to CVS to pick up a couple things and was happy to find some grocery items were marked down 75%. These just happened to be on my grocery list so I went ahead and got them at CVS.

I went to Smith's to do my weekly shopping trip and came across a couple great buys. I was very excited about the Pillsbury Pie Crusts. They were on clearance for 59 cents because they expire tomorrow. I had a $1/2 Q making them 9 cents each. I got home and threw them in the freeze. They will be good in there for a couple months.
