My CVS Trip 8/15 - Saved 96% and got $77.21 worth!!

So while my Walgreens trip went exactly as planned, my CVS trip was the exact opposite.  By the end of my shopping excursion I had gone to 3 stores (mainly for SoBe's) and still not found the Blink eye drops.  Now that I'm wearing contacts I use eye drops a lot more when they aren't in because of dry eyes and it's the only thing I really wanted.  Oh well.  I got a rain check.  So I'm not going to list all of the 16 SoBe's below since they were all free and contributed nothing to the transactions.  I love the Fuji Apple Pear variety the most so I got as many as I found

Transaction #1:

$9.99 - Zegerid OTC 14 ct
- $4/1 from August All You (I didn't knowow about this when I wrote the post up on Friday)
= $5.99, plus a $7 ECB, so $1.01 money maker

(2) $3.49 - Clear Eyes for Contacts
- $3.49 (in store B1G1 free sale)
= $1.75 each (I didn't plan on buying this, just needed some contact drops and thought this was a great deal, I know, very unlike me)

$1.50 - Sour Watermelon Candy (to get my total high enough for the $9.99 ECB)

Total before coupons: $18.47

Used my $9.99 ECB

Total after coupons and ECB's: $1.03

Received $7 ECB
