CVS shopping trip pile for $22.00 COOL!

in deals

I finally had a big trip this week at CVS. I have been busy and had to take a little CVS break or I get burnt out! I made a HUGE $10 mistake in the way I checked out…. rookie mistake! I should have only spent $12 out of pocket for all this but instead had to pay $22. Oh well, still a great deal considering I had 11 $10 razors, plus everything else. 

Earlier last week I posted about the cereal deal HERE
Razors are Buy one get one free so I used 1 $4 off coupon for each one making them all .99 cents a razor!
Make-up is being clearanced at my store so I loaded up on 50% and 75% off, combined with coupons made them almost free.
The rest of everything were ECB deals. 
* My rookie mistake was buying the frebreeze and the makeup in the same transaction. Because the makeup didn’t give me any ECB’s back I should have split that into 2 different transactions, buying the frebreeze first and using the ECB’s from that to pay for the makeup. I was in a hurry and had already done 4 transactions, so I wasn’t thinking!
Don’t forget to start watching for sales on school supplies. Last year I scored 4 kids school supplies for under $20 by starting now. 
Also, if you are planning on coming to the coupon class this weekend, it’s free, shoot me an email so I can get a good count and have all the handouts and door prizes ready!

I am new to this blog (just joined this week)….can you explain your 'rookie mistake' so that other rookie's like me won't make this mistake? I hope to use your tips to help our family too! Thanks!

They were in the 6-14-09 SS one for the refills and one for the razors! You can use the refill coupon on the razors (if your cashier will let you) and do just razors….
