Why I Love CVS

CVS has great deals on Pampers and Colgate this week, so I headed there this morning. I spent a total of $5.65 out of pocket and walked away with $3 Extra Bucks (EBs), so basically I spent $2.65 and got my Sunday newspaper, a jumbo pack of Pampers Cruisers, and Colgate Total. Here's how it happened:

Transaction #1:
Albany Times-Union: $2
Colgate Total: $3.99 minus $1 off coupon from 3/7 SmartSource insert = $2.99
NY Sales Tax: $0.32
Total: $5.31 minus $3 EBs from a previous week's purchase = $2.31 out of pocket
Received $3.99 in EBs for buying Colgate Total

Transaction #2:
Pampers Cruisers Jumbo Pack: $8.97 minus $2 off coupon from 2/21 P&G insert or 3/14 RedPlum insert = $6.97
NY Sales Tax: $0.36
Total: $7.33 minus $3.99 EBs from previous transaction = $3.34 out of pocket
Received $3 in EBS for buying Pampers, which I will use another day

So there you have it - newspaper, diapers, and toothpaste for under $3 after coupons and EBs! Have you jumped on the CVS bandwagon yet?
