What can you get for $5 at CVS?

CVS had some good sales this week and I started stocking up for our big Memorial Weekend Party already.  Between their sales, coupons and some rebates I spent under $5….

Heres a list of EVERYTHING I got.  Sorry i dont have photos I redid my stockpile and was excited and put it all away.  The break down per transaction is at the bottom...

4 bottles of Pepsi & Diet

4 Bottles of Mountain dew & Diet

4 bags of Stacys pita chips (Yummy)

2 bags of True North Pistaccio chips

2 bags of tostitos

2 jars of Tostitos salsa

1 GE energy Smart Light Bulb (raincheck)

Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet cleaner twin pack

A 3 pack of scotch brite kitchen sponges (not on sale but we needed it)

1 Therma care neck/arm Wrap (raincheck)

CVS Electrolyte twin pack

Infant tylonol (not on sale but Xander was sick)

1 Crave nx Spray

2 Olay Regenerist Facial Cleansers

2 dove chocolate bars

All that for $4.64 and it could have been even less but I misplaced a $5 off $20 coupon and another $2 coupon didnt come off the reciept.

Want to see the breakdown on how I did this?

OOP $6.15 (tax adds in at the very end)  received $3 ECB for buying electrolytes

(I had a $5 off 20 but couldn’t find it or this order would have been 1.15.  I later found it and gave it to another mom shopping.)

The only photo I have is from the second trip to the store.

Transaction #4

4 bottles of pepsi $5

4 bottles of Mountain dew $5

+ .40 for deposits

Stacys chips 3

2 bags of True north Pistaccio chips @ $3

2 Dove chocolate bars .89 (B1G1)

$5 off $20 purchase coupon

1 off stacyes chips

2 off True north pistaccio chips (2 coupons 1 each)

new total: $12.29

OOP: 1.29 received $10 ECB from pepsi

Transaction $5

Scotch brite sponges 3.99

Scrubbing bubbles twin pack 6.99

Infant Tylonol 10.29

Sub total: 21.27

Subtract coupons

$5 off 20 purchase

1 off scrubbing bubbles

(I had a $2 tylonol but see now it didn’t come off)

New total: 15.27

used 10 ECB from pepsi

OOP 5.60 (again the tax added at the end) received 2 ECB from scrubbing bubbles

Total OOP at CVS this week was $15.64

I started the week with $16 in ECB’s ended with only $2 ECBs Cost $14 in ECBs

Will be sending away for $15 back from olay

AND the Pepsi/coors rebate right now I am lined up for at least $10 back.  This rebate includes condiments AND paper products so I may be able to find more that can apply towards this!!!

SO $15.64 OOP $14 in ECBs = 29.64 cost

But at least $25 back in rebates

SO total cost is $4.64 for all that!!!

Oh and remember I said the tylonol coupon didn’t come off the reciept?

Had the coupon come off it would have been only $2.64

$4.64- 2 coupon = $2.64.
