CVS Black Friday Trip
I took a break from cooking to run to CVS when it opened at 8 am. I got in the door and knew that it was going to be a tough day because they didn't have any carts. I took a rolling little cart which was not enough for all my stuff. I left my coupon basket and my reusable bags on the counter in the front. I couldn't figure out how to carry all that with me through the store so it was the best bet. I proceeded to find everything that I needed except one thing that Santa was supposed to be getting with my CVS ECBs. I realized on the last of my ten transactions (taking breaks for them to check out lots of other customers) that I didn't get the ECBs back from the King Candy Bars that I bought. I bought the wrong one!!!! Ugh!!! Then I had to return on four different transactions and get money cards back for store credit. I was feeling bad about the whole deal until I came home and added it up. I spent $4.98 oop and had lots of ECBS left and $10.55 in store credit. The great thing about the store credit is that I can use it to pay for the tax too!!!! I went to a second CVS and they price matched the ad to something that wasn't ringing up correctly at the first store. Awesome!!!! No more money out of pocket and Santa got what he needed (not pictured since it is a gift). I still have at least $22 in ECBs and some store credit. I can't wait to see the upcoming deals that is going to get me :) I hope that you all got a chance to go to CVS and get tons of great bargains.

Great Job! I tried several CVS's, was able to get many of the great buys, and this time I did get the rain checks for the missing deals! Woohoo! Now to be sure to use them before the coupons to match run out, that is the challange.
ReplyDeleteI always have more rain checks then I remember to use but I am sure that it will lead to great deals whenever you get to use them!!! There are more great deals this week with Tide, toothbrushes and the gift card. It would be a great way to spend all those hard earned ECBs!! I hope that I can make it over there before the Tide coupon expires and they are all out.
