Shopping Results - 4 Stores!!

Sometimes things come together with perfect timing!  I had plans to hit 5 different stores this week.  I knew that I couldn't do all 5 with all 3 of my boys in the same day.  Then out of the blue a friend asked if she could take my boys to a movie yesterday afternoon.  Well okay ... of course! That gave me 3 hours all to myself.  I made it to 4 of the 5 stores and each store had everything on my list in stock.  I'm still hoping to make it to Target tomorrow.

My first stop was CVS.  For quite awhile I made CVS trips at least once a week.  My stockpile of Health & Beauty Products was became so large that I stopped adding to it.  Lately I've had several occurrences where I've run out of something .... toothpaste, body wash.  Oh no!! This week's body wash sales means it was time to work on that stockpile again!

Minus $4.00 - 2 $2.00 ECBs for CVS Advisory Panel Surveys
Total Out of Pocket $.25 Tax
Earned $8.00 ECB - $4.00 for each Old Spice Body Wash

Walgreens was my next stop.  I first tried to get the Nivea Body Wash BOGO deal that some had reported getting.  It didn't ring up BOGO at my store. I only had one Nivea coupon so I bought just one bottle.

1 Bottle Nivea Body Wash -$5.99
Minus $3/1 Nivea 5/2 Red Plum
Total Out of Pocket $3.36
Earned $6.00 Register Reward (RR)
