Today's CVS and Walgreens trips

So, per my usual self, I procrastinated on the drugstores until the last day. :)

CVS:
They were OOS of the Pledge multisurface (of which I had a BOGO coupon), but they had 2 Shout, so I bought those.  Thankfully, CVS tracks your progress on these deals and if I can find them at another store, I'll get my Extra Bucks.
2 Shout $3.50 - $.75/2 coupons.com = $6.25 for both, will get $4 EB when I spent another $7

3 Pull Ups $10 - $2 = $8, got $10 EB back = $4.67 a jumbo pack

2 Ester C BOGO $11.99 - (2) $3 = $5.99 for 2, or $3 each

PAAS Egg dying kit $1.99, got $1.99 EB back

2 Newspapers $3 each

I had $26.99 in EB to use

I paid $14.26 and got $11.99 back!
My receipt says I saved $65.68 :)
Coupons used this trip: $43.74

I was able to find 2 of the Pledge at a different CVS, so this is what I did:
2 Pledge @ $3.50 ea. = $7 - BOGO coupon = $3.50 - $1.99 EB
It brought it down to $.12 (I don't know why?  The CVS registers are very nice!) and I got $4 EB back.
Coupons used this trip: $4.49

Wags:

This was really frustrating.  I had enough coupons to get 10 Almay makeup removers for free, but the register wouldn't take them.  Apparently Walgreen is really cracking down on coupons and the registers won't accept them if the coupon is more than the price of the item, which is ridiculous first of all because they were only 2 cents below the coupon amount, but also because they're getting reimbursed for it anyway.  I had to leave 10 of them at the register after waiting like 20 minutes. :(

2 Bayer $3.19 Buy 1 get 1 50% off = $4.79 - $4/2 any Bayer tearpad found at CVS = $.79 for 2, got 4,000 points!  I'm going to get more of these bc that's an awesome moneymaker.

Blue Diamond almonds 6 oz. BOGO $3.99 - $1/2 = $2.99 for 2, or $1.50 each

Used $1.50 RR

Paid less then $3 for everything.

Screw Wags.  I have more problems at this store and Target than anywhere else.  Long live CVS!

Coupons used this trip: $6.50

Went back again to maximize the Bayer deal:
6 Bayer baby aspirin $3.29 buy 1 get 1 50% off - $4/2, plus get 2,000 for each item bought!
I ended up paying $2.XX and getting 12,000 points!
Much happier with this trip.  Just to give you an idea, at the lowest level 5,000 points = $5.  I'm saving up bc 30,000 points = $40.  So, you can think of this like a $10 MM. :)
