CVS 2/28

We have a brand new CVS here in our town and I love it!! It is set up much nicer than the other one. We'll be getting another new one sometime this spring, that one will be closer to me so that will be great. The other great thing about the new store?? This one is open until 10 pm on Saturdays which means that I can now shop after 6 pm for the Sunday sale! I drug my husband with tonight so he could do a transaction for me. Of course we had problems with the wipes coupon so I don't think he'll be going there with me again :) Here are the two transactions:

1 playskool wipes $2.50

1 playtex sippy cups $5

1 pampers $10

1 slimquick energy $4.99, get $4.99

1 carnation instant breakfast $4.99, get $4.99

-use $.75 off carnation coupon
-use $2 off wipes coupon

-use $1.50 pampers coupon

-use $5/$25 CVS coupon

-use $9 ECBs

=$9.62 OOP, received $9.98 ECBs

1 playskool wipes $2.50

1 playtex sippy cups $5

1 pampers $10

1 carnation instant breakfast $4.99, get $4.99

-use $2 pampers coupon

-use $2/$10 coupon

-use $13.97 ECBs

=$4.61 OOP, received $4.99

I'll be running to CVS tomorrow to get 2 more containers of the wipes. I'll use 2 more $2 off coupons and then I'll get my $5 in ECBs for each of the cards. I also need to check out the monthly deals to see if I need to grab any of those tomorrow.

I am going to be doing a charity in a couple of weeks. I would like to know if anyone would be interested in posting what they are donating to their local charities, shelters etc? I'm going to put a Mr. Linky up for it - please let me know if you would like to participate. Thanks!!

Charity

Noah (my 3 month old) & I dropped these off at one of the shelters this morning. I went through my "loot" that I got for almost free at CVS. This is not even half of my stash but I thought this would be a nice start. The picture doesn't include a couple of bottles of Pantene that I picked up this past week at CVS.
