CVS Trip on Saturday and Sunday

I looked at the ad online on Saturday night and saw that they had Honey Nut Cheerios on sale for $1.88 so I decided at 11:30 that I would head up to the CVS and get a few boxes since my husband has been asking for them!  The sale was ending at midnight so I figured that I better look at Sunday's ad and get everything in one trip.

I went to the store and the Cheerios weren't on the ad so I went to price check them.  The price checked wasn't working and started to reset.  The cashier rang one up to check and they were $4.19.  Not paying that price for them!!  I grabbed one of the deodrants on sale for $0.99 thinking that I was going to get my green bag tag dollar back.  I didn't :(  At least I saved, $2.60!


I went back to make sure that they had the Huggies pull-ups that I needed to do the Sunday deal.  I grabbed three packages of Pull-ups and went to the front to check the price.  The price checker stopped working again!  Another cashier checked the price and it was still at the regular price.  I asked him if I could get a copy of the ad to check to make sure that I got everything that I needed for the deal and he told me that he didn't know where the ad was....okay, I guess.

I wandered around every aisle in the store waiting for 12:01 (also known as Sunday morning).  When the clock ticked to 12:01, I walked up to the self check out and scanned my three bags of diapers and handed the cashier the 3 Manufacturer coupons and 3 CVS coupons.  He asked me to wait and walked back to the office and then came back out.  Rang up $6 CVS coupons and $6 Manufacturer coupons after rearranging the order to make sure that there were three of each.  I scanned my green bag tag again (since it was a new day) and it worked.  I got the green bag tag $1 back and did not get the Huggies $10 ECBs :( 

I explained it to the cashier and he told me that I didn't spend enough.  I told him that it was before coupons and he said that I didn't spend enough.  I went back to the aisle and got another package and I was going to check out again with one more since I had my $4 in coupons and $1 ECB so it would be really cheap anyway.  Then the cashier came over and told me that he would help me at the register.  He left the pull-ups at the self checkout and printed me out the $10 ECBs.  I thanked him and headed home at 12:30 am.  An exhusting trip but at least I got a bunch of pull ups since we didn't have enough to last us a week.  Saved $25.20 on the second order.


Total OOP $18.93
Total Saved $27.80

Now I have the big task of spending the $10 ECBs!  I was thinking about going to get two more Pull-ups so that I am totally stocked up and I don't have to worry about spending any more later.  I guess I will try to decide later today before they run out of stock.  Hope that you had a good week at CVS!
