Used a $1 off coupon.<br /><br />Bought 10 regular size Snickers and 6 regular size Twix on sale 2/$1. Used $1/2 coupon which made them free.<br /><br />Had a $10 EB to use so I bought 4 $.33 caramels to bump up my pre tax total to $10 so I could use the EB.

I have 6 more candy bar coupons so I will go back and buy 14 more candy bars to get the $5 EB for buying $15 worth of candy bars. I miscounted last night. So I should get all that around $1 for the two candy bars and tax.<br /><br />All in all will have $14.99 EB's to use. Still working on the Nexxus products to get the $10 EB. I think their combs and travel brushes were the cheapest things available and they didn't have too many of those.<br /><br />Thanks for the ideas on things to buy, that REALLY helps me. Sometimes I just don't see the things you point out, then they become so obvious. Here's my deal from last night.

Bought one Revlon mineral mousse foundation, wrong color because they only had 2 in stock and they said I could exchange later if I brought the receipt-I didn't want to miss the deal. Used a $1 off coupon.

Bought 10 regular size Snickers and 6 regular size Twix on sale 2/$1. Used $1/2 coupon which made them free.

Had a $10 EB to use so I bought 4 $.33 caramels to bump up my pre tax total to $10 so I could use the EB. The caramels came in handy later removing one of my daughter's loose tooth!

Ended up spending $1.15 and have $9.99 to use toward next purchase. I have 6 more candy bar coupons so I will go back and buy 14 more candy bars to get the $5 EB for buying $15 worth of candy bars. I miscounted last night. So I should get all that around $1 for the two candy bars and tax.

All in all will have $14.99 EB's to use. Still working on the Nexxus products to get the $10 EB. I think their combs and travel brushes were the cheapest things available and they didn't have too many of those.

Thanks for the ideas on things to buy, that REALLY helps me. Sometimes I just don't see the things you point out, then they become so obvious.

Plus if you buy $15 worth you get $5 EB. So, what I am planning on doing is getting 16 candy bars and the make up and using my $10 EB from last time. Then I will get $14.99 EB back. Still working on my second transaction. Might include bandaids, neosporin and Nexus products. :-) The CVS in my area has candy bars 2 for $1 and I have coupons for $1 off of 2, which makes them free.

I still spend hours trying to figure out what is a good deal and what isn't. It is inspiring though. I just this week saw many multiple transactions in one trip. Will definitely have to do that. I've got a CVS EB $10 burning a hole in my pocket, expires 8/16.

I'm wondering if CVS is starting to mix up their regional sales? These are sale prices that start today, per my ad dated 8/9-8/11. I'm wondering if CVS is starting to mix up their regional sales?

It won't work Sun, Mon or Tues. I think the second go round of ECBs only worked up until Saturday night, because it was last weeks ad. It won't work Sun, Mon or Tues.

Also ask about rapid refill at pharmacy and get a coupon book worth 20 off purchases at cvs. Chapsticks and CVS brand Allergy med on clearance 75% off so those are great ways to bump up yor total.
