CVS Paid Me $3.85

They are so nice at CVS. They paid me $3.85 to take this stuff home and some (or all?) of it will be going in the giveaway box. Here's how I did it:

There was a deal for buy $20 worth of various "tummy remedies" and get $10 in EB. I bought the three items pictured, which totaled $20.87. Since I had a CVS coupon (actually, I have several) for $5 off $25, I had to add another $4.13 of stuff that would end up being free. I roamed around the store looking for anything that was on clearance and/or that I had a CVS coupon for. I got the four lotions off of the clearance shelf for a total of $4.64. That would have been a good deal even if I'd paid for them! I had a coupon for $1 off any CVS-brand lotion, so I used it. I also had two CVS coupons totaling $8 for the tummy remedies that were a part of the EB deal. And I used $5 in manufacturers' coupons. So, I had $14 in CVS coupons and $5 in MFC, which brought my final total down to $6.15. And then I got back $10 in EB.

I also made $1 (once I send in the rebate) on some shampoo at Rite-Aid (like I needed more shampoo).

Publix and Kroger weren't as good. I saved 53% at Publix, but only 35% at Kroger. Sorry, but I've been in the mood for gumbo for a while now, so my Kroger savings took that hit.
