we went to my parents’ house for father’s day and the first thing my mom said was, “do you have your coupons??” i’ve recently gotten her into freeshopping at CVS and she’s still VERY excited about it. she wants to max out every sale whereas i’ve learned to let go of a few
anyway i didn’t have my coupons (missed the memo we were going to CVS right after brunch i guess) and we ended up having to come home to get them. it all worked out in the end though, this is what i got.

the free cereal coupon was from a mail in rebate in the paper a few weeks ago. you had to send them coupons for a kind of cereal other than honey bunches of oats, and they sent you a coupon for a free box in return. i have several
love them for getting my total up enough to use am $x/$xx coupon without actually having to spend more money! the B1G1 dasani waters paired with the $1/1 coupons from the beauty book would accomplish the same thing for roughly the same dollar amount.
overall totals from sunday: spent $1.30 out of pocket (used a money card from a much earlier transaction when ECB’s didn’t print. manager couldn’t get it to work so he gave me the value of the ECB’s on a CVS money card. it was from the M&M deal i think). altogether spent $25 ECBs, and got $38 for a profit of $13. love it!
