Good quick trip to CVS & Walgreens!!!! 1/5/10

So JJ's Granny asked me to go pick her up some neosporin today. There was some confusion as to which store it was at but  I went to CVS first- no neosporin- but here is what I did get

Wrapping paper
12 pack Aquafina
Colgate toothbrush
(2) Nivea Lipgloss
Nivea Body Wash
Stride Gum

Here is how I saved:
The wrapping paper was orig 2.99 -75% off so I paid $.75
The water was orig $3.49 on sale for $2.49 and I got $1ECB
The toothbrush was orig $3.99 on sale for 2.99 I had a $1 coupon and got $1 ECB
The Nivea lip gloss were orig 3.99 and I had a BOGO coupon
The Nivea Body Wash was orig 5.99 I had a $2 Manufacture coupon and a $2 CVS coupon
                Spend $10 on Nivea products get $5 ECB
The stride gum was 1.29

The only reason I bought the gum (I wish I had picked up something cheaper) is because you can not have more coupons then you have items. I had a total of 8 coupons (I used 3 different ECB's from a prior purchase) therefore I needed to have 8 items.

All this ended up costing me $5.93 OOP (Out of pocket) and I have $7 in ECB for next time.

TOTAL SAVINGS $ 21.23!!

Then I went to Walgreens here is what I bought

Transaction 1
(2) Neosporin - for Granny

They were on sale for 2/$8 and I got $3 RR which Granny let me keep. So I made a free $3RR for nothing!

Transaction 2
(2) Chips Ahoy
Electrasol
Skittles

- So on the cookies the only reason I bought them was to check to see is a particular deal was working. They were on sale for $.99 . They had a deal going on if you bought (2) Chips Ahoy  in the larger size you got $2RR.
- The Electrasol was orig $5.49 on sale for 3.49 I had a $2.50 coupon and got $1 in RR
- The Skittles were on sale for .69

So this is what happened. My ORIGINAL (before the skittles) total was 3.24 after my coupons I tried to use a $3 RR I had from a previous purchase but could not because the tax was more then $.24. So I through the skittles up there to be able to use the $3 RR

All of this cost me $.98 OOP (out of pocket) and I have a total of $6 RR for future purchases!!!!

TOTAL SAVINGS $10.20

Let me know if something does not make sense!!!
