More than Milk


Before couponing, I never would have known that the Borden milk at CVS was priced lower than the exact same brand at Wal-Mart. With three small kids, we go through two gallons of milk a week so this was valuable information. Each week, I look at the CVS deals to see if there is anything that I can pick up on my weekly milk run. On my last stop, I bought three boxes of Puffs tissues and two Disney Gummie Vitamins. Here is the breakdown:
  • Milk $3.49 each with $1.00 each (limit 2) back in ECB's (Extra Care Bucks). The ECB's are shown in the picture, and can be used on my next purchase towards anything. $3.49 + $3.49 = $6.98 with $2.00 ECB's to use next time.
  • Puff's tissues retail for $1.99 each ($5.97 for all three), but were on sale for $0.99 each, and I had a buy three, get $0.25 off manufacturer coupon. $0.99 + $0.99 + $0.99 = $2.97 - $0.25 = $2.72
  • Disney Gummie Vitamins are $7.49 each ($14.98 for both), but CVS had them on sale for Buy One Get One Free, and I had two $1.00 off manufacturer coupons and one $2.00 CVS store coupon that printed at the kiosk near the front door. $7.49 + $0.00 (free one) = $7.49 - $1.00 - $1.00 - $2.00 = $3.49
  • I also had a $3 off coupon that was emailed to me.
Retail $27.93
I paid $10.19 and got back $2.00 in ECB's to spend on my next trip!

It's that easy!
