(Updated this entry!) Today was a GREAT CVS deals day! Lots of items free after ECB. I did have a bunch of scenarios planned out that I had worked hard on for several days. Yeah, well, I left my list at work. :( But in the end, I think I did OK! My ECB profits were minimal, because along with my scenario list, I left all the coupons at work as well. Arg!

So overall I made $12.00 in ECBs and spent exactly $2.80 out of pocket (cash). So technically that leaves with me a $9.20 profit and a load of free stuff. The sale continues until tomorrow, so I'll check out the stores by work and see if they have any of the items my store was sold out of. I'm happy with what I got though!

Also ran to Publix to get some groceries. The only deals were...



$4.99 - 9 Lives Cat Food 3.15lbs
$8.99 - Intuition Refills 3 Ct.

I had FREE coupons for both items, so they were FREE. :)

Edit: Went back to the same CVS store after I found some coupons! Unfortunately I didn't have any ECBs to start up with (they are all expired), so I came up with a scenario to make my oop about $5. However the store was completely sold out of the L'Oreal Eye Duos - which I needed! Funny since an hour before they had plenty! I had to rework my deals and spent more oop than I wanted...

The cashiers jaw nearly hit the counter when she saw I was paying for the order in cash and not ECBs lol. With this order I received a coupon on my receipt for $5.00 off a $15.00 order! Woo! But it was good for only 3 days, so I figured I'd roll it now.
