CVS Coupon Matchups

So. I paid $0.05 for all of this. SUPER excited about that and wanted to share. Here's the breakdown:

I started with $15.00 in ExtraBucks from a two previous shopping trips. When I walked into the store I discovered a $3.00 ExtraBucks coupon tucked into the end cap near the Magic Coupon Machine. Yay for Coupon Fairies! There was a little pile of coupons that were going unused, so I grabbed only the ExtraBucks and left the rest. Now I had a total of $18.00 in ExtraBucks to put toward my purchase.

NOTE: The reason the math doesn't add up is because my cashier took off $3.99 for one of the Hot Pockets. Even at the sale price it was $2.29. (it was $1.79 when you bought 10 participating items). I anticipated he would take off $1.79, but he gave me more than double. I went to customer service to give them money back, but she shrugged her shoulders and said to let it be. But she thanked me for my honesty! Lucked out for sure! So I got all three for $1.38!

NOTE 2: The Wisk photobombed this picture. It was actually part of my CVS Couponing Spree, which you can read about here.

Which items did you combine with the "Buy 10 Participating Items, Save $5.00" Mega Sale? I'm thinking about going back for more later :)

Shaws Coupon Matchups

I love couponing. I do. But I have a pet peeve. And it often infuriates me... well, "infuriate" is a strong word. "Annoy" may be more suitable? Anyway. I can't stand it when the "select varieties" that are on sale don't include the "varieties" that I have coupons for. Oy. Why can't they just list the items that are included in the sale in the circular? I could have swiped up seven boxes of cereal today for $0.18 - $0.88 each. But alas, I only got one. 

Enough venting - Here's the breakdown of today's shopping spree :)
