My CVS Black Friday Shopping Trip (Plus Share Your Trips)

by Dana Zeliff on
in CVS, My Shopping Trip

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

I have been looking forward to the CVS Black Friday deals for weeks!  I had a perfect plan all mapped out and ready to go.  I called to confirm the opening time last night and was told 8am.  I arrived at 7:45am and they were already open! Two of the products I wanted were already sold out which made a mess of my 3 transaction plan (as you can imagine).

The 2 products not available were the Theraflu 8ct and the Benefiber Sticks.  I had $2 off coupons for both products which is why my OOP was much higher than anticipated. My goal had been less then $10 OOP including tax since I only had $2 ECB’s from previous shopping trips to roll.  I’m still happy even though I spent over my goal.

I do want to commend the Kempsville CVS.  There was still plenty of the other free items in store when I left.  The staff did an excellent job of stocking for the Black Friday sale.  Additionally, the employees were friendly and helpful which always great since it’s easy to get frustrated with a packed store.

Below is my original plan and how I changed things up.

Transaction 1

Breathe Right Nasal Strips Bonus Size 10 + 2 ct., $5.99 Limit 1
-$1.50 off Breathe Right product
stack with $1.50 off Breath Right 10 ct. CVS Coupon printable

Listerine Pocket Packs, 72 ct., $2.99 Limit 2 BUY 1
-.50/1 Listerine Pocketpaks 24 ct +

Balance Bar, $1.69 Limit 1

Added in Chex cereal $2.87, earn $2 ECB’s & 1 M&M’s from transaction 2 – needed to hit $25 for coupon

Total before coupons = $25.25 $25.51

Starbucks Double Shot, 6.5 oz, $1.69 Limit 1

Hershey’s King Size Bar, 2.1-2.86 oz, 99¢ Limit 2 1

Realized the Excedrin for $0.99 didn’t make it to my list so substituted for one of the Hershey’s King bars (not sure why I did that now – should have bought both)

-$ 1.80 coupons
-$25.25 ECB’s $23.89 (didn’t use $0.75 ECB from transaction 1 since I had a judgment lapse and didn’t get 1 Hershey’s)
Total OOP = $0.06 plus tax
Earn $27.11 ECB’s

TOTAL PAID= $1.36
EARNED = $26.36 ECB’s

Total before coupons $110.21
Total Savings $95.04
Total paid OOP $15.17
Still have $28.18 ECB’s

PLUS I have an MIR for the Finish Quantum from the 11/20 SS insert.  I’ll get back $2.99!!!  If you take into account the MIR and ECB’s I still have, I “made” $16 for buying $110 in products!!!!
