CVS Take 2

I stopped into CVS this afternoon to pick up my prescription and get a FREE $25 gift card and check to see if they had any of the FREE Dawn in stock, only 2 :-( So, I grabbed a rain check & hopefully they will get more in before the end of the month when the coupons expire. Plus, if you are going to your locale CVS make sure to check your clearance section, ours in Westminster to OVERFLOWING!!!!
2 Dawn Hand Renewal Dish Soaps $1.99 ea - $1.02 ea Sale - $1/1 MC x 2 (1 adjusted to $0.94) = 2 FREE
2 Arm & Hammer Essentials Sprays $0.75 ea on Clearance = 2/$1.50
1 Gold Emblem Ground Nutmeg $0.25 on Clearance
1 Suduko Book (Wonder who that was for...) $0.62 on Clearance
1 set of MP3 Player Speakers (also for me!!!) $3.75 on Clearance
1 roll CVS Paper Towels $1.29 - $1/1 CVS C (from the coupon machine in the front of the store, just scan you Extra Care card and out pops coupons!) = $0.29
+ Tax $0.51
Total OOP: $6.92, paid with FREE gift card!!!

Walgreen's Trip for this Week

I kept my Walgreen's trip super simple this week, as I thought the very few RR deals they had kinda stunk, and besides, who can pass up FREE floss, shampoo and toothbrushes???
Transaction #1:
2 RenPure Shampoos $6.99 ea - BOGO Free Sale - TMF Rebate (on Tag) = 2 FREE
3 Reach Toothbrushes $3 ea on Sale - $5.01 in-ad C - BOGO Free MC $3 - $1/1 MC = 3 FREE = $0.01 MM
1 Russell Stover Cream Egg $0.29 on Sale
- $6 RR used to Pay
+ Tax $0.98
Total OOP: $2.25 - $6.99 expected TMF Rebate = ALL FREE + $4.74 MM!!!

Transaction #2:
3 Reach Flosses 2 @ $3 ea 1 @ $1 (cashier had to price adjust because the in-ad C didn't ring up right this time?) - BOGO Free MC $3 - $1/1 MC - $3.34 in-ad C
+ $0.42 Tax
Total OOP: $0.08!!!!! Pretty sure I made out like a bandit on this one. Neither her nor I could figure out why the in-ad C worked fine on the first transaction and wouldn't take off the correct amount on the second. After 5 minutes of constant beeping, she just price adjusted one of the flosses for me. I guess this kind of floss might not have been put in the system correctly, so make sure you CHECK YOUR RECEIPT before you leave the store!!!

Grand Total OOP: $2.33 - $6.99 expected rebate = ALL FREE + $4.66 MM!!! I love it when I get paid to shop!! :-)
