Then I made my way to CVS on a whim and I'm very glad I did :)

So, for everything I got, my pre-coupon total was $50.57 (before my card was scanned it was $66.64!), but after all my coupons, my total was $8.69. I used $3.99 of ecbs from my last trip so I only paid $4.70! That is pretty remarkable for CVS :) Also, I got back $9.99 in ecbs from all my deals :) Not a bad return on those free coupons :)

**This is why you hold onto free coupons! I've had these for a while, but I hang onto them so I can use them to my advantage - like this time I used them to make money in the store. Make sure you use them before they expire, but hold them until the last week :)

To top off all my deals, I made sure to snag a free rental from both Redbox and Blockbuster :) Now while I put my stuff away, my husband can watch Thor or The Fighter :)

Man, I'm tired...
