Walmart and CVS deals

Last night I went to Walmart to pick up some batteries. While I was there, I remembered I had a few other coupons I could use up. I bought the following:

6 packs of Kotex pads @ $1 ea = $6
1 ream of HP paper @ $3.97
1 Trial size Gillette 2 in 1 @ $0.79
2 Page marker post-it notes @ $0.97 each = $1.94
1 pkg batteries = $5.67

Total before taxes and coupons = $18.37
Less $6 Kotex coupons
Less $3/2 post-it note coupon
Less $1 Gillette 2 in 1
Less $1 Energizer coupon
Less $3 Paper coupon

Total after coupons and taxes = $5.38 . So I could have gone there and just got my batteries and spent $5.67 less $1 coupon, plus tax and just walked out with my batteries. Instead, I got my batteries as well as all this stuff for about as much as I would have paid for just the batteries, even with the $1 coupon.My CVS trip was pretty good as well. I already miss the $/$$ coupons, so had to make due with what I had.

I bought in 2 separate transactions:
3 bottles of Listerine Smart Rinse @ $3.49 each
4 bars of South Beach Diet bars @ $3/2
1 Huggies baby shampoo = $3.49
4 Oral B toothbrushes @ $5.99 each
2 Oral-B Vitializer toothbrushes @ $6.99 each
2 Revlon nail files @ $1.79 (sale B1G1)
1 Reese's Whips candy bar $0.50 each

Total before coupons and taxes: $58.19
Less coupons = $19.89
ECBs used: $38.94
Total on gift card = $2.00

Received $41.45 in ECBs, so even without the $/$$ coupons, I was still able to make some money. Gotta love CVS!!
