6/24 - 6/30 CVS TRIP

LOVE CLEARANCE + TRIAL SIZESSSSS<3
So I had a bunch of coupons and ECBs that were two days past the expiration date but I figured I'd try my luck and see if the manager would allow for it, and as always it worked out better than what I had planned :) one of the cashiers even asked me to teach her how to shop like that, haha. And she's someone I could never ever get along with. Indeed, all goods things come to those who are patient (:  

Again, aside from my own card, I shop from my moms and my sisters card (they dont use theirs) and we share the items purchased.  

Also, be on the look out for clearance items =O All the clearance stuff I bought here wasn't marked. You just gotta scan it. The coupon machine is full of surprises ;)

My recent trip to CVS!

As I mentioned in my introduction, I do happen to be a couponer and am always on the hunt for some sort of savings when it comes to purchasing products :) Just a little bit of your time researching and matching prices etc, can save you a big amount of money! :) Here is my purchase from last week 

6 Glade Sense and spray automatic freshener (refill + batteries included)    $5 each    (Regular price = $11.49)


6 Hallmark cards    $.99 each

After 20% CVS coupon, (6) $3.50 off Glade Coupons,  $3 Revlon CVS coupon, and $21 in ECBS, I paid $4.60 (including tax) and got back $15 in Extra Care Bucks (store cash). So I saved a total of $132.92 (not counting tax)!
