Somebody MAKE ME STOP!!!

Ah....another day of spending every dime I have just to try to save a dime:) I've been on the hunt for some of the awesome CVS stuff that earn extra care bucks but the CVS near my school is ALWAYS out of the sale stuff. But today I outsmarted the the hoarders and went to a different CVS.

I had to do 3 transactions but there was no one else in line behind me so it was fine.
Transaction one: I had a rain check from last weeks sale on right guard and edge shaving gel.
Right Guard: $4.50, on sale for $2.99, had a $3 off when you buy 2 coupon and earned $4 extra care bucks!
Edge Shaving Gel: $2.99, on sale for $2.79, had a coupon for buy one get one free and earned $1.80 extra care bucks.
Total: $15.77
Used coupons and $5 extra care bucks and paid
$1.38 and earned a total of $5.80 extra care bucks!
I totally rocked that one:)
Transaction two:
1 regular dawn dish soap on sale for $.96 and I had a $.25 off coupon.
1 bottle dawn hand care dish soap for $.96 and I had a coupon for $.50 off.
One SUPER expensive reusable razor on sale for $11.99 and I had a $2 off coupon.
Total: $15.92
Used coupons and $9.00 extra care bucks and paid
$2.71.
I totally screwed this one up b/c for whatever reason I didn't get anything that earned me more bucks...OOPS!
Transaction three:
3-12 packs of drinks on sale for 3 for $11.00
Paid the $11.33 for them and earned $2 extra care bucks.
The grand total was $42.47
After sales, coupons and extra care bucks (and three transactions:) I paid $15.42 for a savings of $27.05. I also left with $2 extra care bucks for next time.
Not to bad for my first time doing this CVS thing.
I have learned one very valuable thing....we drink way to many carbonated beverages!!
