On Friday I did a little coupon shopping at CVS. For $8.68 I bought five Dove brand deodorants and a Hydro 5 razor with the help of sales and coupons. Then, I used the Extra Care Bucks I received from that purchase (as well as sales and coupons, of course) to buy 5 SoftSoap brand body washes for $6.20. Next, I bought five Dove shampoos and conditioners and five Dove body washes for $32.35. That purchase would have cost me $60 without sales and coupons. AND, I got five dollars ECB back. I didn’t expect the ECB on that purchase because I thought there was a limit of one, so I would have planned to buy the shampoos and body washes separately and saved a little more. As it turns out, though, I needed Motrin for the children and there were no sales going on so I would have had to pay full price at Target. Instead I used my $5 ECB at CVS and got it for $1.47.
I spent a total of $48.70 and saved $87.24. Savings Success!
