My only shopping trip so far this week was to CVS and it’s actually a rather embarrassing first post.  My OOP would have been substantially less, but I made a HUGE mistake.  I mailed $11 in ECB’s to Aveeno with my mail-in rebate last week!  We all make mistakes, and I can guarantee I’ll never do that again!  I don’t think I’ve ever spent this much at CVS. I really like Neutrogena Sun Screen and I have a mail-in rebate form, so I spent more OOP to get what I wanted instead of waiting for a better deal to build my ECB’s back up.  I’ll use the school supplies for donations that were requested today from LuLu’s Vacation Bible School.

You can score these deals through Saturday (except for the school supplies which ends today). 
Get my matchups HERE

Caliber Scissors $0.99, Earn $0.99 ECB’s
Papermate Pens $0.99, Earn $0.99 ECB’s
2 Neutrogena Sun Screens $19.98, Earn $10 ECB’s
Used 2 $2/1 coupons
Used $4 ECB’s (very sad)
Used $0.50 CRT from kiosk

Total Paid: $13.56 (ouch)
Earned $11.98 ECB’s
Total Saved: $11.50

I will submit for an $8 MIR from Budweiser.  Valid when you purchase $10 of “Beach Resort” items.  Rebate form found in beer aisle at Farm Fresh.  It makes my expensive trip almost tolerable!

Now it’s your turn.  I hope you can show up my sad trip this week!

Please visit again next Tuesday!

    Thanks for hosting! That is a real bummer about your Extra Bucks. Maybe they will send them back to you.

    I know if you loose your ECB's no one else can use them because they are tied into your card. Did you ask if they can do anything for you? They are soooooo customer oriented at CVS, it is worth a try 🙁 I feel your pain. Hate to admit it, but when I first started couponing, I let $11 worth of RR at Walgreens expire………

    Thanks for the link up! I didn't add your button only because the post is from last week, (Though the deals would still apply!) so it's no longer on my front page.
    I am your newest follower though! Thanks for following me too!

    Thanks for following me. I've returned the favor. I haven't been posting my trips since I've been really slowing down on them lately. This is a great idea though!

    Hi Dana,

    Thanks for the comment on my blog and for following me!

    I went ahead and posted a link to my little CVS trip from this past Sunday on your blog hop. I also bought the scissors and pens 🙂
