There are so many good deals right now that I had to run out this morning! I’m feeling a little renewed after vacation and luckily, the kids are too – so armed with snacks, we made the trip.
Here’s what I did:
CVS
Transaction #1 & #2
1 SoyJoy 6 pk
I used
$6 ECB from previous transaction
Final Price: $.13
Got back $6 ECB
Total Cost for both: $.26
I had intended to pick up the free lightbulb too, but I forgot my coupon. I’ll go back during preschool so my son won’t feel tortured!
As a total side-note, I don’t eat the SoyJoy bars. CVS offered this deal last year and I sold six boxes at my garage sale for $.25/bar. People loved having the snack option and I made an extra $1.50/box!
Walgreens
Transaction #1
1 Electrasol Tabs
2 Stayfree ($6.29 each)
2 Reach Toothbrushes ($4.19 each)
2 Johnson’s Baby Shampoo

I used
1 B1G1 Stayfree coupon
1 B1G1 Reach coupon
1 $2.50 Electrasol
1 $1 Reach coupon
2 $2 Johnson’s coupon

(Yes, that is the top of my son’s heading hiding in the background of the picture. He wanted to be a part of it, but a hiding part.)
