This CVS haul was blah! The sales weren't really appealing, the Clear shampoo/conditioner were jacked up, and I had to rethink my CVS strategy in the store since they didn't carry a specific item I was interested in. However, I prefer that Dove deodorant and Clear hair care so I went ahead and went on with the deals.
So I completed 3 transactions and spent $10.96 (Uggghhhh) out of pocket. Maybe I'm just spoiled and think that is too much to pay but I ended getting $15 ECBs to spend next week. So here is the breakdown:
Transaction #1:
