Oh - it was sooo worth me driving to the CVS that is a half hour away today! I usually just go to the one that's about 15 minutes or so, but it's small and disorganized and never has anything in stock. After talking to my sister about the one near her, I decided to check it out (she said no one is ever in there...so I figured stock had to be better than mine!) The cashier and the manager were super nice, the cashier even told me to grab a filler for the first trip so I wouldn't lose any ECBs!

I made 2 trips, so I could try to get OOP as minimal as possible LOL

First trip

3.99 Colgate 360
2.79 Orapik Travel
2.99 Aquafresh
3.79 CVS allergy medicine
4.69 Tums quickpak
4.99 Adidas
2.47 3 toe spreader thingys (the ones that the UPC ends in 81)(BOGO1/2off)
2.49 Rolaids 3 pack
.79 Hersheys bar (needed a filler and it goes towards the buy10get1free deal)
Total before tax - 28.99

Used
-4/20 welcome
-1$ colgate IP
-1$ aquafresh IP
-2.25$ tums IP
-20$ ECBs (all that I had)

Total $0.74!!!!!
And I got back 30.24 in ECBs
Profit of 10.24 in ECBs!

Then I went to Walmart and found the new All You mag (completely forgot about the Adidas coupon earlier!) Got 2 copies. Then went to Kmart and asked for the Beauty in Bloom. Got 3 copies. Figured enough time had passed that I could go back to CVS for second trip and use my ECBs without problems.

2nd trip:

9.98 (2) Adidas
6.91 (9) Toe spreaders
19.99 One Touch Mini
Total before tax $36.68

Used:
-4.99 Adidas All you coupon
-4.99 Adidas All you coupon
-19.99 One Touch sunday insert coupon
-6.69 ECB

Total after tax $0.24
Got 24.98 in ECBs
18.29 profit in ECBs!

So $0.98 OOP, almost 75$ worth of merchandise...and I now have 48.53$ in ECB (24.53$ more than I started with!)

I'm officially addicted to CVS....that's not a bad thing though huh?

Thank you to all of you, you have shown me the light LOL

I'm amazed with this magazine - I've never heard of it before I discovered the coupon forums. This is the first time that I've bought it though. There's a coupon on almost every other page. My sister just told me today that she's had a subscription to it for a while now just for the coupons! Darn ol' brat! She should have told me about it! LOL Just flipping through I see ziploc, hershey's bliss, colgate, a TMF form for tums kids, kotex and lots more.

And the Beauty in Bloom booklet at Kmart was totally worth asking for it too (they were behind the pharmacy counter) - There's coupons in there I can use at Target on the Aveeno deal (after the coupons I'll spend 2.27 for a 5$ gift card, and get 2 full size Aveeno lotions and 1 trial size Aveeno!)

Sorry about the OT post - but the All You is worth the 2.25 price at Walmart - and I just might go ahead and subscribe to it!
