CVS I'm Back!!! Well Sort of....

2 hours before my $24 in Extra Care bucks expired I decided to run into CVS not let them go to waste. Exactly 30 days ago my hubby went to CVS to pick up my prenatal vitamins and walked out of there with $24 in ECBs. He was so excited about the bucks he had received even thought he spent $70 to get them, I think he figured it might motivate me to get back in the game. Tonight without a game plan or a single coupon this is how my return to CVS went down......

2 Colgate Totals $2.99 each
1 Crest 2 pack $5.99
1 Folgers Decaf $5.79
1 Sponge Bob Power toothbrush $6.99
1 CVS Face Wash $4.79

Total Value $31.43
Total OOP $5.54
Total Saved $25.80
earned $2, $2, $2, $4 ECBs
I should of earned a total of $11 in ECBs but they shorted me $2 ECB for one of the Colgate's and I didn't realize it until I got home:( In all I think it was a good unplanned trip that has got me itching for a little more CVSing, next time with a game plan and coupons:)~

CVS Circular

I heard a rumor earlier this week that CVS would be switching back to publishing there store circular on Sunday instead of there recent change to Friday. This was a exciting rumor for me! Of coarse as with any rumor I don't like to believe it till confirmed by a reliable source. I got up this morning and went to CVS.com to check out this weeks new ad but when I typed in my zip code to get my local circular I was meet with this message....

We're sorry, there are no current Store Circulars at this time for this location. Please check the ZIP code you entered, or check back Sunday September 28 for Store Circulars for this location.

I entered my zip code several times to make sure it was not my mistake. It wasn't!! Can You say WOOHOO! I tried so hard to get adjust to the change of Sundays CVS Ad to Friday, it threw me off big time. I don't get the Friday paper so I was having to make a special trip each week to CVS just to pick up the circular. Thank you CVS if this means what I think it does for finally coming back to your senses :)
