Penny wise purchases at CVS this week

OK, I've told you guys that i don't shop at the drugstores very often because it can be very complicated to do on a regular basis.

Having said that, there are weeks that it's just a no brainer!! This is one of those weeks at CVS!!
There are so many items on sale, I had to share a few that I will be purchasing and challenge you to check on the ad in the morning and see what you can find.
The trick to shopping at CVS is to coordinate multiple transactions. Your Extra Bucks print out at the END of the transaction, but you can turn right around and use them to purchase more items in the same trip.

Here's my list and the order I will buy in:
Transaction #1: Total spent before taxes = $35.49
Olay Facial products - Buy $25 get $10 Extra Bucks back - use $1.00 and $3.00 coupons to save even more!
Colgate Max Fresh - 2.99 - 2.00 Extra Care bucks - $.75 coupon = $.25
Coke 12 packs 3/$11.00 - $3.00 Extra Care bucks - three $1.00 coupons from my coke rewards = 1.66 each


Transaction #2: Total spent after using Extra Care bucks from transaction #1 = $10.29
10 Pringles - $.88 can - $1.00 off 2 coupon = $.38 each
Thermacare - $5.99 - $1.00 off coupon = $4.99 each
Nivia Lip care - BOGO - two $1.00 off coupons = $.50 each

BUY $20 of participating products and get Crest Twin pack for free:
2- charmin packs $5.49 - $.25 coupon
1 - Aussie Shampoo $2.99 - $2.00 coupon
2 - Always pads $2.99 - $1.00/2 coupon
use $1.00 off crest coupon

Most of the time, a $5.00 off $25.00 purchase coupon will print with each transaction, so if I get one of those tomorrow, I will save even more on Transaction #2.

This is my plan...we'll see how it goes!
