Fred's: Double Coupon Day

*clickable pic*
Ran to Fred's this afternoon. I love Fred's. Especially on double coupon Saturdays! I try to save up my "little coupons" and make a good run to Fred's once a month. This month I needed to stock up on cleaning supplies, as you can see. Everything I purchased had a coupon.
Here's the math:
Total Price before coupons: 68.32
Total Price AFTER coupons: 39.78
Total Savings: 28.54 (enough for a tank of gas, if prices stay where they are at) *yays*

I feel pretty good about it, considering its stuff I really need, and use on a daily basis. I got several small things free: Suave lotion, Trident gum, etc. And, who can't feel good about something free and reduced price.

CVS: after the sale (10/18)

my scenario worked!!! made the cashier mad, she griped to the mgr, and inturn, I told him he could honor CVS policy, or I could call the district mgr, who incidentally gave me his cell #, on Sunday. He chose to honor store policy. Go figure. BTW, you can use mfg coupons + cvs CRTs+ebcs. 1 mfg q & 1 CRT per item. Grrr. I hate mgmnt sometimes. Anywho, here is my haul for the day:

Windex (2.00 mfg Q)
Fantastic (1.50 mfg Q)
Scrubbing Bubbles (2.00 mfg Q)
Gum Toothbrushes
candycorn
2 excedrine (1- 3.00 CRT, 1-2.00 mfg Q)
kleenex
powerade
listerine agent blue
pumpkin pail
funlight
airheads (filler)

total before discount: 26.90
used: $5/$25, had 8.90 mfg. Q's and used $13 ebcs
total OOP .93 earned- 11.95 EBC's
SCORE!

CVS: The plan (10-18)

Ok. Here is the plan I've got drew up. Remember things can change once you get in the store and figured with 8% tax. Items are always "due to availability & all". Here we go:

Total before discounts: 26.10
Use $5/$25 & coupons above $10.60
Use 10.00 EBC's

Earn 12.45 EBC's


We'll see how it turns out! I may do a 2nd transaction this week. There are SO many good deals!!

Cvs:After the Sale (10/12)

Just got back from CVS thought I would report on how I did. They did not have the skin vital mask or tampax listed on sale, so I did ask to make sure they would honor the sale price.

total 44.03
used 25.16 ebc's, 9.24 maufacturer Q's
