After looking at the ads I changed my mind and was thinking I would make one trip tops to CVS. Earlier I was not going to go at all, but I realized we could use some styling product for DH & DS. I would love to toss out the gel my DH is using; it doesn't hold a shape, it just makes it look wet for a few hours. It was actually mine and when mixed with hairspray worked well, but DH doesn't use hair spray, and unless I toss it out he will continue to use it even though I had bought it for my hair.

I Bought:
Venus razor for $9.99 (Earns $3 ECB's)
Frutis Garnier gel (for DH) $2.99 (earns $1 ECB)
Frutis Garnier Leave in Conditioner (for ME) $2.99 (earns $1 ECB)
Twizzlers for DS $.40 Filler

The Total was 16.37 plus tax
Minus
$5 off $15 order Coupon from Newsday
$4 coupon Razor Manu Coupon
$1 coupon FG styling product Manu Coupon
$1 coupon FG Shampo or conditioner Manu Coupon
$5.00 ECB's earned from prior orders
Total .37 plus .36 tax
Out of my Pocket cost .75

Earned $3 in Extra Care Bucks for Razor
Earned $2 in Extra Care Bucks for FG products

All in all I spent $5 in ECB's and Earned $5.00 so It was even. I LOVE FREE! I wish though that there was a larger limit on the Granier Fruitius products, because I would love to have another leave in conditioner for me and a styling product for DS. I am sure they will have another sale soon.

Oh CVS you are an addiction: After getting the $5 off of a $15 Order coupon from Newsday, I am really tempted to go finish off the May deals. I was waiting to see if I was going to get another Colgate coupon so I could turn the FREE item after ECB's into a Money Maker, But I realized with the $5 off $15 and the $11.99 ECB's in my purse I could make the freebee's into a money maker, or atleast not spend down my ECB's. Monday is a holiday which means no coupons in the sunday paper :0( Also due to the fact I will not be able to get any of the June 1-7th deals due to being out of town, and possibly none of the 8th-14th. I am worried about the ECB's that expire on the 16th of June being forgotten about due to work burn out and being wasted. I am thinking it would be a good idea to use the $11.99 to finish off the may deals. I am sad because one of the trains I am one, switched to only the first monday of the month and so I will not be able to ride it until September. What a bummer, but thankfully my CVS allowed internet printable coupons.

My second Planned trip:
I would like to pickup the following items, since you never know what CVS will have instock, I will pickup whatever I can to have a total of $15 and spend $11.97 in ECB's so I will get new ECB's with a new 30 day expiration date. I would prefer not to have to buy all three CVS allergy in one trip but we will see what I have to do to come up with a $15 total.
Mylanta $3.39?? Earns $2 ECB Have $2 coupon
360 Colgate Toothbrush $3.99 Earns $3.99 ECB
3 CVS Non-dowsy allergy $3.79 each Earns $3.79 Each ECB
Ora Pik Traveler $2.79 Earns $2.79 ECB
Jergens Lotion $5.99 Have $1.00 Coupon

I will post about my ROLL THE ECB's trip soon.

I am going to stop doing weekly post and do individual trips, then combine for a weekly post. I love posting my deals on moneymakingmom.com so that was why I was doing weekly posts but I think doing per trip then do a wekkly will work better for that purpose.
