CVS Trip...
Posted 01-13-2009 at 10:28:30 PM by thriftycj
Popped into CVS today to pick up another Rx for my sinus infection (am still smarting over how rude the nurse practitioner was.... highlights of visit included her quip of "well, if you were in Europe, they wouldn't even TREAT you...." yeah.).
Christmas was at 90% off, so I got:
$0.38 2sets of gift tags
$0.29 1 roll wrapping paper
$1.25 5 gift card tins
$0.72 4 medium-ish hallmark gift bags
$0.65 5 small to medium hallmark gift bags
Also snagged a bunch of l'oreal clearance. Used the rest of my $2/1 any eye product q's. Got 4 mascara and 4 eyeliners
Total before q's: $17.00. Used 8 $2/1, so total OOP for L'Oreal (before tax) = $1.00.
While some of the items were under $2, I matched them with items that were over $2.00 ($1.92 and $2.29), so the q's didn't beep.
Since I'm having sinus issues and the store had the nasogel in stock, I got 2. Used a $2/1 peelie from the nasal salts I bought before (and saved for the nasogel as I can submit the salts for FSA reimbursement and didn't want to decrease total with q's). Also bought a puffs to-go pack (very much needed. the lotion and vicks in them were a nice touch) and a gatorade.
Total OOP-- $7.10 + $0.50 sales tax = $7.60 for 29 items. I spent $13.50 in ECBs and earned $15.98.
I'm submitting the receipt for a rebate on the nasogel, which, along with the nasal salts bought previously, will get me a rebate of $9.00.
Might try to find 1 or 2 more rolls of wrapping paper, but otherwise, I'm totally set for gift wrapping for next Christmas. :)
