I do not have exact amounts because I left my receipt somewhere (home, office, hidden in purse).

I bought the rolling collapsible cooler it is on sale this week, regular price $24.99 sale $19.99.

I have been looking for this exact item for a while, I am glad to have found it, I would have paid the regular price but getting it on sale, because I noticed on iheartcvs.com that it was going to go on sale, was an extra perk.

I bought
$19.99 Cooler
$.88 Dawn soap (filler)
Total $20.87 plus tax
Used
$3 off $15 purchase CVS coupon from ewashington post
$.25 off Dawn

$17.62 Total plus tax
Used
$9.38 ECB from Tums Quickpak
$7.98 ECB from Colgate 360
Total .26 plus .10 tax

I used the Dawn as filler because I wanted to use my two largest ECB’s. I find it hard to make a big order after coupons, so I like generate small ECB’s whenever I shop if possible.

I will be editing this post as I get more CVS trips in. I need to stock up on Dawn and I have a few other items I want to buy. Also I intend to post a picture.

nail cliper 1.49

$5 ECB
$4.99 ECB
Subtotal .47 plus .21 tax .68 OOP
*NOTE* I should have recieved $5 in ECB's for the lifewaters, but they did not print was sent to the front counter, then told to call the # on the back of my card, the person answering that number said it would take 48 hours to post, and she would follow up on Monday. Will I ever see the ECB's?? Because of the $3/$15 coupon the Sobes are currently $.70 a bottle (an OKAY price), IF I get the ECB's then they are $.20 a bottle. This is my first problem with ECB's if this does not turn out well next time I will not be as trusting and will just plan to return whatever doesn't print the ecb's if it is not worth it without the ECB's. In this case $.70 is an okay sale price, and it is a chance to learn how to handle the problem of when no ECB's print.

KOHL's

* I had an additional 15% off card, I bought a lot of stuff but I am just going to list the awesome finds.
I got a columbia winter hat for DS for 2.50- 15% =$2.12
I got three sets of pj bottoms they were part of a 3 piece set but the top was gone so the set of pants & shorts were marked 2.24 but when they were keyed in they came to 1.63-15% =1.38 (that is .69 per piece)
I also got a Lego's Tshirt for 5.60 - 15%= $4.76

JcPenny's

* I got my $10 off any purchase of $10 or more coupon in the mail.
Of course it was for mothers day, and like all mothers I spent it on my DS instead of myself. LOL
I found a $26.99 pair of jeans marked down to $11.99.
& kids a T'shirts on sale reg price 13.99 marked down to 7.99
This would normally have been a good deal, A pair of jeans after coupon for $1.99 and another Lego's shirt for my DS.
But when the order was rang up, the jeans were $4.99, so after coupon and tax the two items cost $3.14

THANK YOU JCPENNY!!!
