How many times can you shop at CVS and Walgreen's in a week?

Over the past month, I have really gotten into shopping at CVS and Walgreen's. I work 30 miles from home and drive past 3 CVS stores everyday. I've never noticed these stores until I read other blogs and people were saving so much money and/or making so much money off their purchases. That's when it really hit me. I can do this too!! My first couple transactions were so-so...but this week was pretty awesome!

It started on Sunday...
First transaction
2 - Robitussin $6.00 each
2 - Advil PM $4.00 each

Used $4/$20, $2/$10 CVS coupons
2- $2 coupons for Advil PM
2 - $3 coupons for Robitussin
$4 ECB

Total OOP = $.70

Second transaction
2 - Playskool Wipes
1 - Stayfree Clean Ultra Liners
1 - Arm & Hammer Toothpaste
1 - Handy Snack - Cheese and crackers
2 - Hershey candy bars

Used $2/$10 CVS coupon
1 - $.75 Stayfree coupon
2 - $1 Playskool Wipes coupons
1 - $1 Arm & Hammer toothpaste coupon
$6 ECB

Total OOP = $.50

From that day on, it was nothing but more savings and rebates. We are pretty well stocked on our health & beauty products now. I even stopped yesterday to pick up the Ice Mountain water they had on sale...got it for free!! I ended the week with $50 in ECB's!!



To end the week, I went to Walgreen's to get Valentine bags for the kids Valentine's. Unfortunately, they didn't have the bags I needed but they Huggies Shea Butter Body Wash clearanced. I love this stuff! I use it on the little one and myself! So, how much was it??? Drum roll please...$.39 a bottle! So I picked up all they had - 8 bottles. Also, on the clearance cart was KY Touch Massage, why not pick it up for the fiance's Valentine gift?!? It was only $1.19. I walked out of Walgreen's paying $4.61...probably what I would have paid for one or two bottles of the Huggies Body Wash.
