CVS Trip for this Week!

There weren't a lot of great deals this week, so I only took advantage of a few that we could really use. However, I will definitely be going back to grab the free/money-making CVS Sunscreen (Deal Here). Here's what I ended up with...
10 boxes Various Nabisco Cookies and Crackers $1.99 ea - $0.99 ea Sale - $1/2 MC x 5 = 10/$5
1 Schick Quattro Trimmer $10.99 - $2 Sale - $4/1 MC - $4 ECB = $0.99
1 Carroll County Times Newspaper (COUPONS!) $1
1 Twin pk CVS Contact Solution $11.49 - $1.50 Sale - $3 ECB = $6.99
And then we stumbled upon the 90% off clearance section and bought quite a few Christmas presents :-) (And yes we are almost done for Christmas 2010!)
2 Camera Binoculars $29.99 - 90% off = $2.99 ea = 2/$5.98
3 Steamers (1 for me & 2 for Gifts) $14.99 ea - 90% off = $1.49 ea = 3/$4.47

2 Watches (1 for Joe and 1 for a gift) $5.99 ea - 90% off = $0.59 ea = 2/$1.18
+ Tax $1.86
- $5/40 CVS C
- $17.77 ECB's used to Pay
Total OOP: $14.87 + Earned $7 ECB's for next week! This week's return wasn't so hot, but to know that we got quite a few more Christmas presents out of the way makes it so... worth it! So if you are going to be near a CVS make sure to stop in and check around the seasonal section for some major clearance deals. The one in Westminster is no where near cleaned out, they still have plenty of the things we bought, along with slider grills, books, clothing, throws and toys! Happy shopping!
