Tuesday's CVS Trip

The deals were to be had at CVS this week.  Our favorite cashier helped us out with the Eucerin deal, since they were out of the bigger sized lotion, so she forced the ECB to print for us, which I thought was super nice!  I also used a rain check for the Advil PM since they finally had it in stock, and I got a bonus ECB because it apparently counted towards this week's cold deal.  I broke my purchases up into two transaction to get the most band for my ECB!  So all in all a pretty amazing trip at CVS!!!  Here's what we ended up with...

Transaction #1:
3-24 pks Basics H2O $3.99 ea - $1.55 ea Sale = $2.44 ea or 3/$7.32
2 bottles Eucerin Calming Creme Lotion $8.49 ea - $3.40 (20% off CVS coupon) - $1.50/1 MC x 2 - $10 ECB's wyb $20 = 2/$0.58

Tuesday's Giant Trip

Lowe's was out of pine pellets, probably since it's been so cold here!  So I unfortunately had to buy cat litter at the grocery store where I got have as much for twice as much - ugh!  So, that was an unexpected purchase, but since there were a lot of other deals to be had, it balanced out okay.  Hopefully next week the deals will be sparse and I can stock up on some needed items as well.  Here's what we ended up with this week...
