CVS Shopping Haul: Spent $1.86 for 9 Items!

I had a terrific little run to CVS this afternoon and scored $11.62 worth of soaps and snacks for just $1.86 out of pocket.


Better yet, I didn't spend any Extra Bucks to pay for the stash -- which means with the right mix of coupons, you can get the same goodies I got!



First things first: when you go to CVS, make sure to scan your Extra Care card at the CVS coupon center.


I scan my card every time I go, and I probably get free stuff at least once a week this way.  Today, the CVS coupon center printed a coupon for $2 off any 2 bar soaps, which made for free soap, along with a coupon for $2 off any bottle of CVS body wash!


So here's what I bought:

• 2 bars of Yardley soap -- on sale for 69 cents each, so a combined total of $1.38.
• 1 bottle of CVS vanilla body wash -- regular price of $2.37.
• 4 three-pack boxes of Quaker granola bars -- on sale for 83 cents each this week, so a combined total of $3.32.
• 2 Ritz Bitz Snack Paks -- also on sale for 83 cents each this week, so a combined total of $1.66.

And here are the coupons I used:

• my CVS coupon for $2 off 2 bars of soap -- which took the whole $2 off, meaning I got both bars for free, plus 62 cents in overage towards the rest of my transaction!
• my CVS coupon for $2 off body wash, which dropped my price for that down to just 37 cents.
• two $1 off 2 Quaker coupons, which meant my four boxes were $1.32 total, or just 33 cents per box.
• a $1 off 2 Nabisco coupon, which meant my Ritz Bitz were also 33 cents per cup.

So my final total, including my 11 cents in tax, was just $1.86!  So that was a savings of well over 80% off my original prices -- and a smidge under 21 cents per item.
