Getting Paid to shop....at CVS

So as several you of already know.  I was really upset yesterday.  Normally I can keep my Irish temper under raps, but yesterday it blow.  My fix for every bad situation in life is prayer, Chocolate and shopping. Of course not always in that order.  I had tried the first two already and my blood was still boiling like a tea pot in a 5-Alarm fire. What else is a girl to do.  I went shopping.  Shopping did the trick.  I felt wonderful after getting paid by CVS and the Manufacture to remove the products form the store.

***I do not suggest a new couponer to try to do a shopping trip in the heat of bad mood or with out it planned out to the last penny. The shopping trip will go horribly wrong and your blood will boil even more.***
 


Here is the what I ended up doing on the mist of the issues of the day and not having my trip planed out to the penny. I walked in hopping I would figure it out as I shopped and my wallet would not be damaged at the end of it all.

4- Soft Soap Body wash 3.00 each
2- Men’s speed stick 1.99 each
**Earned $5.00 Extra Care Bucks**

5- Dove Shampoo and Conditioner 3.00 each
**Earned $5.00 Extra Care Bucks**

2- Milky Way Bunny candies 2/1.00 (one not pictured)
2- M&M Med bags 3.49 each
1- soft caramel candy 0.33 (not pictured)

2 - Revlon Eye Makeup. Buy one get one 50% off. 7.29 and 3.64

Total = 50.22 Sale price.  Full Retail price would have been 74.92

Here the coupon brake down.

Out of pocket (oop) 8.62 before tax
Paid for it with a Gift Card from CVS 10gc for 30 spend in dec.

To make a long story short.  I paid nothing for my Items and got back 10 extra bucks, 5.00 Beauty reward extra care buck and 5.00 from a Manufature rebate. 

The Cashier was so shocked on this trip she puller her co-workers over to see it.
