The Coupon Challenge

Welcome to Tuesday’s Trips Blog Hop hosted by The Coupon Challenge and Mom on Dealz! The purpose of Tuesday’s Trips is to showcase any type of great shopping trip you’ve had this week. Share grocery store, drug store, department store, yard sale, etc. If you’re excited about your shopping trip, we’d like you to share it with us! Did your trip completely bomb this week? Let us know what went wrong.

We do ask that you visit both of your lovely hostesses (#1 and #2 spots) each week to see what we’ve picked up. Don’t have a blog? No problem. Leave a comment about your shopping trip.
 

I went to CVS with the perfect plan.  Get where I’m going with this?  I’ve been reading all about the $1.99 Neutrogena deal, buy 2 and earn $10 ECB’s.  Well, my store doesn’t carry that size.  My whole plan went out the window.  I paid more OOP than I would have liked, but I purchased items I needed using the CRT’s that printed today. 
*ALWAYS scan your Extra Care Card when you walk into the store

    between the extra ECBs I earned on the Kotex and Biore contact solution (which I don't use) at CVS, I was able to get my Burt's Bees lip balm that I had run out of for free. 🙂
