I rode my bike to the gym today and CVS is on the way home, so I stopped in so I could do one quick transaction.Stephanie had some expiring Extra Care Bucks and she’s been really busy lately, so I went ahead and did her lone transaction on her behalf. Here is what I bought and the coupons used:

ONE COMPLETE MULTI-PURPOSE SOLUTION 12 OZ., on sale $8.99 (regular price $9.49)

By the way, when the roommate saw the men’s Depends, she said, “It looks like you’re ready for football season.” (I’m not sure how many of you will be able to figure that one out.)

Net Price Paid for Everything: $3.00 PROFIT!

OK, so I forgot my coupon for the Depend product, but I’ll pick that up later in the week and toss it in the donation box.I also passed on the Easter promotion. I might do the Easter candy deal later in the week, but I’d rather buy it at a time when it doesn’t have to sit in my house for 24 hours before heading to work with the roommate for her co-workers. As a result, my trip was pretty light today; I just picked up a few freebies.

I decided to buy the Allegra, because I have so many coupons for it and they are limited to one per transaction per the wording on the coupon. It’s going to take a while to pick all of these up. I don’t really mind missing out on the overage elsewhere.

Anyways, here is the one small transaction I did today:

ONE COMPLETE MULTI-PURPOSE SOLUTION 12 OZ., on sale $8.99 (regular price $9.49)
ONE ALLEGRA 5 CT., regular price $6.99 (it didn’t ring up on sale at my store)
Get $8.99 Extra Care Bucks when you buy one Complete Multi-Purpose Solution 12 oz.
Used one $7/1 Allegra, 4/1 SS newspaper insert (cashier adjusted to $6.99)
