My CVS Shopping Trip $4.24 – 89% Savings!

Just got back from CVS after completing my John Freida ECB Deal.  It worked even though they didn’t have 4 at $6 each.  I had to cave in and buy (1) $8 John Freida Full repair but I wasn’t too stressed because I had a $4 off any $20 purchase coupon to CVS.

John Frieda Full Repair Products $6, Buy $20 Worth and Earn $10 ECBs (Limit 1)
- $5/1 John Frieda Full Repair Treatment, Styler or Finisher Coupon (6/5 SS)

Scenario:
(4) John Frieda Full Repair Products $6 ea.
- (4) $5/1 John Frieda Full Repair Treatment, Styler or Finisher Coupon (6/5 SS)
= $4, Earn $10 in ECBs
= 4 Free + $6 Profit!

Because of my CVS $4 off any $20 purchase coupon, I only ended up spending $3.54 which was less than I had anticipated!

I spent my $10 ECB on stuff that I wanted and needed and spent $0.70 on the tax!

The total cost of everything I bought should have been $37.62 but I only spent $4.24 on everything.
