My CVS Coupon Trip 6/14 | Saved over $34 using sales and coupons

I haven’t done a bargain brag in a good while.  And I’m doing a coupon demo at the library next week.  So since I’ll be showing some of my hauls there, I thought I’d post them here too.

Of course when I post bargain brags like this, you get a peek into my shopping habits.  The pitted dates might not be something you would’ve purchased – but I had a coupon and it added enough to my second transaction that I was able to use all my ECBs.  See?  Couponing works to help you save on everything!  Even if it’s not a “sale” or “deal” item all over the blogs.  When you know the method, you can apply it to anything.

So here’s what I did tonight at CVS:

First Transaction:

(2) Crest Pro-Health 3.5-4.6oz or Complete 5.8-6.2oz @ $3.00 each
(2) Colgate Optic White or Enamel  Health @ $4.99 each

AND used (1) $1/1 Crest Toothpaste manufacturer coupon in CVS App
