And my CVS prescription cards have come in very handy again!

I've mentioned before that thanks to the "fill a new prescription and get a $25 gift card", I've been able to get some good deals at CVS.  There was the Almay make-up deal, make-up and body wash deal, the Tostitos deal and the Diet Dew deal.  These four trips have netted me lots of Diet Dew, Tostitos, make-up and body wash.  Today's trip?  More body wash!  And it only took me two transactions...

Transaction #1
3 Dawn dish soap (Hand Renewal) was $5.97 for $1.00 ($1.99 each - $1.15 (12/$10 sale item) - $.50 P&G coupon for each)
3 Nivea "Touch of Shimmer" body wash (for women) was $17.97 for $2.97 ($5.99 each - $1.00 (sale price) - $4.00 coupon for each)

Total out of pocket (well, off the prescription gift card):  $5.19
Total saved:  $19.97
Received $5 ECB for purchasing $15 in Nivea products

Transaction #2
3 Nivea body wash (for men) was $14.97 for $2.97 ($4.99 each - $1.00 (sale price) - $3.00 coupon for each)
1 Nivea lip gloss (I wasn't sure the total above was going to make it for the "spend $15 get $5 ECB deal") was $2.99 (no sale, no coupon)

Used $5 ECB from Transaction #1
Total out of pocket (again used prescription gift card):  $2.01
Total saved:  $17.00
Received $5 ECB for purchasing $15 in Nivea products

So all said, I spent $7.20 on my gift card, left with $5 ECBs and purchased six body wash, three dish soap and a lip gloss.  I didn't make any money but really, I saved a lot - like just over 81% savings.  I love it.

Balance on this gift card:  $10.01 (this is the second of four $25 gift cards)
