My CVS loot from this week
** Never played the CVS game?? Wondering how I got all the stuff below for less than $2? Read my Beginners Guide to CVS to find out everything you need to know. It's easy, it's fun, it's ridiculously cheap, and you can do it too!
My first picture is actually of my last trip from last week. I realized at about 10pm Saturday night that I was out of printer ink and I needed it to print my coupons for the next day's sales, so I made a last minute run to my local 24-hour CVS to get some more. I used a $5/$15 expired coupon (my CVS takes expired CVS coupons) and used $12 ECBs, but I only spent $0.53 oop, which made me darn close to giddy. I had plenty of extra ECBs to spare.
This week, I was all about B1G1 free Vive (my favorite shampoo in the world) and more Trident than we can ever chew in a lifetime. But getting them got me to the $15 limit for my $5/$15 (expired) coupon, and allowed me to get the Cortizone cream and CVS-brand Benadryl in the first order free (my 10-year-old daughter had an allergic reaction this week and a rash everywhere on her body). And both of those anti-itch meds were earning ECBs this week, a fortunate turn of events. :)
And on this second order, I needed diapers and milk, and getting the Vive and Trident helped me get them for nearly free, same as above. And if you're paying attention, you'll notice that I'm only at $14 towards my CVS brand baby care ECBs, so I'm planning another run to the store today to complete that deal.
(and no, that adorable little baby was not free-after-ECBs this week at CVS. That's my youngest daughter, Callie, and my husband thought it would be funny if she "photobombed" my picture this week, like he had done last week. :)

How long your cvs takes the expired coupons? I live in OH and my cvs takes them for a month. Thanks, Abbie
