CVS Trip - 9/11/09

So, I wouldn't normally buy groceries (except milk) at CVS, but when I was in there buying milk yesterday, I noticed that their General Mills cereals were $2.00 a box, and I knew I had a $2.00 off of 2 coupon, which would make it be BOGO for me. So, I grabbed their weekly ad on the way out and went home to see what I could do.


Here's how I did!!

4 boxes cereal: $4.00
2 Ajax Dish Soaps: FREE!
2 Colgate Toothpastes: $1.39
1 Crest Toothpaste: $0.99 (after $2.50 ECB)
2 VO5: $1.54
3 lb bag cat food: $2.99
4 full-size EDY's Ice Creams: $5.99! (That's $1.50 each!)

Total cost: $15.19! I saved $49.23! That's a 70% savings at a drugstore! I just couldn't pass up that Edy's deal! They were BOGO. Plus, I had a coupon Buy 3, get 1 free. Since the store offered the BOGO, I was technically purchasing 3. So, I got 4 for the price of 1! We eat ice cream a LOT here, so it was a fantastic deal! Plus, I got $2.50 back in extra care bucks, so my total cost was really only: $12.69. That's just $0.80 per item!
