My CVS deals for this week

I was lucky enough to go shopping yesterday and had at the end of my receipt a coupon for $5 off $15 purchase. It expired on June 8 so I had to get there fast.

Here are the deals I got. I have 2 cards, so I was able to do some deals twice.

Here is what I got for card #1:

4- Degree Deodorant @ $2.50 each = $10

2 - Dove Deodorant @ $2.50 each = $5

1 - Dawn Hand Renewal dish soap = $0.97

1 - Gillette Fusion Razor = $9.97

4 - Windex Antibacterial Cleaner @ $2.50 = $10

2 - Rolaids @ $3.99 = $7.98

Total before coupons = $43.92

Coupons used:

1- $5 off $15

4 - $1/1 off Windex coupons, (5/9/10 SS) or IP here

2 - $2/1 Dove deodorant IP coupon here

2- $3/2 Degree deodorant coupons here or here

1- $4/1 Gillette Fusion razor (6/6 PG)

1 - $4/2 Rolaids coupon (6/6 RP - Not in GBPG paper)

1 - $1 Dawn coupon rounded down to $0.97 (mailer from P&G, not from home made simple mailer)

Total MC coupons = $27.97

Subtotal = $15.95

ECBs used = $1, $4.99, $4, $4, $2 (rounded down to $1.96)

Total OOP = $2.09 which was all tax

Earned $19 in ECBs

Just a note: Normally when you receive a $/$$ coupon, you want your total before coupons to be just over $15 so that you OOP will be the lowest possible it can be. However, I had $13.99 in ECBs that were expiring this week that I wanted to get used up, so I did it all in one transaction.

Here is transaction #2, done on second card.

1 - Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor = $9.97

2 - Rolaids @ $3.99 each = $7.98

1 - Venus Razor = $8.99

1 - Dawn Hand Renewal = $0.97

Total before coupons = $27.91

Coupons used:

$5/$15 CVS coupon

$4/1 Gillette Razor

$4/2 Rolaids

$2/1 Venus razor (6/6 PG)

$1/1 Dawn hand renewal (Home made simple home mailer) - Actually took full $1 off

Total coupons = $16

Subtotal = $11.91

ECBs used = $7, $4.99 ($11.99 total) which actually gave me a subtotal of negative 8 cents. Occasionally this does happen, but normally not. I haven't been able to figure out when and why this happens.

Total OOP = $1.18

ECBs earned = $5, $4, $4, $1 (green tag) = $14

I also discovered today that the Gillette Fusion Razor has published a limit 1, but that is NOT the case. There is at least a limit of 2, but I don't know if that is it.
