I was up way too late last night this morning couponing.  A mommy of a four-month-old and a toddler should not be crawling into bed at 1:30am.  And even after I was in bed, I just lay there, too excited to sleep, because of this:

This Sunday, I plan to be waiting in front of the CVS doors at 10am when they open.  And I will be purchasing the following (in separate transactions to maximize the benefits):

 Transaction #1

BC Headache or Goody’s Powders – $1.49
3-bar pack of Irish Spring – $1.99
12oz bottle of Clear Care contact lens solution – $6.99
Infusium 23 Shampoo – $5.00
Infusium 23 Conditioner – $5.00

Total:  20.47

Subtract $9.00 in coupons.

Subtract $12.48 in ECB (CVS money)

The store now owes me $1.01

Transaction #2 :

Olay Cleanser – $8.99
Olay Cleanser – $8.99
Aquify Multi-purpose Solution – $4.99

Total: 22.97

Subtract $10 in coupons

Subtract $9.99 in ECB

New Total: $2.98

Subtract the $1.01 and my out-of-pocket expense is $1.97 for $43.44 worth of goods!

If you coupon, I highly recommend you visit your local CVS this Sunday!  And if your CVS is open 24 hours/day, then you be there at midnight!  (That’s when the sales go into effect and they sell out of freebies that quickly!)
