Finally Couponing! :)

Everyone knows I love me some couponing. :)  I usually don't post it here, I post it on Facebook. But have decided to start doing it here.  I have not been able to go couponing for a few weeks but I did pretty good the other day. 

 So, here are the deals I got at CVS. :)

Everything in this photo is worth $93.10 (not including Tax) at CVS.  (Yes I know you can get things cheaper somewhere else but not the way I shop.)

I spent $30.66 + $5.14 on Tax (you have to pay tax on the entire purchase, YUCK!)  

I saved $62.44 (WOW!)

Here is the breakdown: 
My first purchase was for Pampers and 2 Johnson baby soaps.  Pampers on sale for $25. The Johnson soap 2 for $6. Spend $30 on Baby products get $10 ECB. I also had a $3 of Pampers coupon and 2 $.75 coupons for Johnson products. 
I spent $26.50 and got the $10 to use on my next purchase.

Second purchase was for the 2 Dawn dish soap. $.99/each and had a $.50 and $.75 off coupon. 2 Colgate kids toothpaste $2.99 with $2 ECB for each. Colgate toothpaste and Toothbrush. $2.99 with $2 ECB for each plus a $1 off coupon for each (making these items free). The Laundry Detergent $3.99 (No coupon, just a needed item). I used my $10 ECB from the last purchase. So my total was $3.68 and I got back $8 to use on my next purchase. 

My last purchase was for the Herbal Essence Shampoo and Conditioner at $3.50 each. I had a buy one get one free coupon.  The Pantene shampoo and conditioner at $3.99 with a B1G1 free coupon. (both of these were not the best deal I could have gotten, but very much needed. Plus with CVS, they give you the max amount on the coupon. So I got $6.99 off for each coupon). The Scott Tissue was on sale for $7.49 (which is a good price to begin with since it seems that paper products have gone up in price lately). I had a $1 off coupon for this as well. And I bought a pack of Gum because I had to make up for all my coupons. :)  So my total for this after using the $8 ECB I got back from the last purchase was $.48.  

Yup!  That's the way we do it!
