CVS weekend--.90 OOP and lots of candy for Halloween!

I did very well at CVS this weekend. Walked in with $14.99 ECBs and pennies in my pocket and walked out with $66.56 ECBs and $251.30 worth of stuff!

Here's how I did it on Saturday:

Deal: Buy one Revlon Limited Edition cosmetic at $9.99 (on sale from $11.99), get $9.99 ECBs

I got one one each of my cards (I have two, one for me and one "for my husband"), used a $2/1 MC on each and paid with $7.99 in ECBs for one and $7 ECBs for the other.

Total OOP: .99

Total ECB profit: $18.98

Deal: buy $10 of select candy, get $5 ECBs.

Special of the week: Lifesavers were BOGO

I used BOGO coupons over which I had engaged in bidding wars on eBay, trading games on Hotcouponworld, and had lucked into finding someone giving away a few free ones. I ended up with 33 BOGO coupons to buy 66 peg bags of lifesavers of all varieties.

Total OOP: .00

Total ECBs gained: 30.00

And today, Sunday, I went back for more:

On my "husband's" card, I got:

2 Oral B Advatage toothbrushes--$2.49 each (on sale from $3.99)
2 Advil Child's pain relievers--$5.79 each (on sale from $6.49)
1 Bayer chewable pain reliever--$1.99 (on sale from $2.79)
1 CVS brand lip balm--.99

Used these coupons:

CVS register coupon for FREE CVS brand lip balm
Two $1/1 Oral B coupons from recent P&G inserts
One Bayer $1/1 MC
One CVS register coupon for $1.50 off any pain reliever purchase
Two $2/1 Advil MC (expired, but my CVS takes recently expired coupons)
$9.99 ECBs (from Revlon deal on Saturday)

Total OOP: .06

Total ECBs gained: $14.58 ($5.79 for each Advil children's medicine, an August deal, and $1.50 for each Oral B toothbrush, a weekly deal).

On "my" card:

Colgate Total Advantage toothpaste--$2.99 on sale from $3.49)
CVS brand aspirin--$1.79 (on sale from $1.99)
Two CoverGirl TruBlend foundations--$8.99 (on sale: BOGO)
Two Revlon eyeshadows--$6.49 (on sale: BOGO)
Two Pert Plus shampoo/conditioners--$3.69 (on sale: BOGO)
Four Sure deoderants--$2.69 (on sale: BOGO)
Four Johnson's Buddies soaps--.99 each

Coupons used:

$1.50 Colgate Advantage MC (July All You magazine)
CVS register coupon for free CVS brand aspirin (took off $1.99, so it gave overage)
Buy any CoverGirl Foundation, get an CoverGirl face product FREE coupon (August P&G insert)
Two $2/1 Revlon MCs
Two $2/1 Pert Plus MCs
Four Sure $1/1 MCs
Two $2/2 Johnsons MCs
$5 ECBs from candy deal

Total OOP: -.15 (it's negative because the cashier took the whole $5 ECB off, instead of adjusting it--but, hey, I'm not complaining! It lessened my tax oop!)

Total ECBs gained: $2 (for Colgate toothpaste, weekly deal)

You are officially my hero. lol I thought I was doing great when I got Zyrtec and Benadryl for $0.46! (And got the equivalent of $19 back in ECBs and store coupons).
