CVS Success

October 9th, 2007 at 07:47 pm

I haven't posted in a week!

To start with, I've added $6 to my Adobe fund. It was income I earned doing a miscellaneous job for someone.

I recently joined www.hotcouponworld.com and I'm in heaven. It's a GREAT site. I've become addicted to CVS. I got a great deal last week and this week I'm getting even more great deals!


I had two coupons for Covergirl. They were buy one foundation get a powder, bronzer or concealer free. I found Covergirl foundation with a free powder attached to it! So, I got 2 foundations, 2 powders, a bronzer & a blush.

Here is the breakdown:
Covergirl Foundation $5.49
Covergirl Foundation $6.99
Covergirl Bronzer $6.99
Covergirl Blush $6.99
Total $26.46

    Oh, here's another HCW junkie LOL The site is wonderful, isn't it? It taught me so much about the couponing and I saved so much money in last couple of years. I just wish I knew how to coupon much earlier!

    There's no CVS around here Frown So, I'm so jealous of you!

    Wow, that's impressive. I don't understand the CVS thing yet and really want to learn about it. Nice numbers! Smile

    Ok. Things didn't exactly go according to plan. The CVS was out of the Crest Pro-Health which I expected.

    So, I didn't get to use the $4/$20 purchase and I spent a little bit more out of pocket than I would have liked. BUT, I did get back more ECBs than I spent out of pocket. So, all is well.
