Jenna's buck is gone!

Well, I've gone and done it! I finally spent the last of Jenna's dollar at CVS. I had the good fortune of being able to go with my in-laws, and showing them how to shop there!

On my first trip, I bought Schick Quattro for women (Mary's favorite!), Gillette body wash for me, and two bottles of Nature's Bounty vitamins, just for the deal. On my second trip, I bought two Pantene Pro-V shampoo, 2 Colgate Advanced Whitening Toothpaste, Gillete Fusion shaver and Gillette body wash for Matt (but he left it behind!), and Orbit chewing gum for Mary. The whole trip cost $1.19. Not bad for a day's work.

Some of the fun was getting my sister-in-law, Erin, started on CVS. I got her the free glucose monitor, which starts her off with $5 ECB's. Plus, she got a bonus coupon on her receipt -- $5 off her next purchase of $15!!

Erin, if you're reading this, here's what I'd do to grow your ECB's:
  • Buy 1 Schick Quattro for women @ $8.99 -- get $5 ECB's
  • Buy 2 Colgate Advanced Whitening 4 oz. @ $2.99 ea. -- get $2 ECB's
  • Buy 2 Dawn dishsoap 10.3 oz., BOGO @ $1.49

Then use these coupons:

  • $2 off Schick Quattro for women that I gave you (12/7 SS)
  • Print off 2 $1.50 off Colgate coupons
  • And use the $1 off Dawn coupon that I gave you (12/14 PG)

Your total should come to $0.46+tax!! Here's the math: ($8.99+$2.99+$2.99+$1.49-$5 off $15 coupon-$5 ECB's-$2 Schick-$3.00 Colgate-$1 Dawn=$0.46). And now, your $5 ECB's turned into $9 ECB's!! Let me know how it went. Call me if you have any questions.
