I have to admit that the weekly sales haven’t been thrilling me lately. But there were quite a few monthly May deals that I was interested in. As I mentioned in my previous post, Noah had spent yesterday with my mother-in-law, so I took the opportunity to do my CVSing for the week and get the items I knew I wanted before they were gone. I got everything in the photo for $6.90 out of pocket (I used $21 worth of ECBs and had $8 worth of manufacturer’s coupons), and got back $34.91 in ECBs. With the exception of the gum, everything else was “free” because you got back ECBs in the amount you paid. I “made” $7 on the deal because of all the coupons I used. I didn’t max out all the deals because I felt that for now this is just fine. If the end of the month comes and I need to roll over some ECBs, there are a couple things I can go back for (assuming they are not all out, of course). I was happy!

Ooooooh! LOVE this new blog design! It’s *so* you!
You sure did WAY better at CVS than I did this time. I did use my $10 off a $50 purchase coupon, though. Didn’t get any ECBs back (bummer!). I do have to go back to CVS today, though, because they charged me for THREE packs of diapers and I only bought one. Hmm ~ maybe I’ll be able to find a good deal while I’m there.
