July 18th CVS & Walgreens Visits

I'm behind on typing up this week's savings but they were doozys so I don't want to miss writing about them! I love saving money! Stay tuned for tomorrow's Target post and Office Depot Money makers!

CVS VISIT

I started out with $24.98 in ECBs to use on my CVS trips...

I paid more up front with this order but I was buying diapers for my sister in law. It all works out in the end though with the ECBs. Also, for the sake of time, I'm grouping my two transactions together. I did 2 separate on 2 separate cards, to double my savings.

(2) Huggies Diapers (Orig. $11.99, sale $8.99)

used $1.50 coupon 7/11/10 SS

(2) Pantene Pro-V (Orig. 4.99, sale $2/$6.97)

used (2) $2.00 coupons 6/27/10 Parade Mag insert
