I am on a quest to see how much stuff I can get from CVS without spending any extra money out of my pocket. Today I paid $0 for $26.49 worth of items.
Zero dollars for all that stuff.
Today was my GREATEST day at CVS ever!!!! It totally made up for the day I lost $1.59 by not paying attention!
The cashier (different from the one who gave me poor customer service) was actually helpful in the best way to use the coupons. She said that I had gotten a great deal and she was a coupon user herself who was happy to see customers like me.
I also got a new gift card in the mail in the amount of $10.00 from MyPoints.

I now have these 4 candles plus the two from Sunday to add to my collection.
I love having my place smell good so I am now well stocked on air fresheners for a while.
These items were also totally FREE to me today since no tax was charged on the candles.
The efferdent is for my mother so don’t get any crazy ideas.
I might end up giving some of the candles away as gifts (to the people who do not read this blog of course…so they won’t know what I really spent on their gifts.)

Great CVSing! Can’t wait until next week!! I had to do the Glade deal again because I love the Apple Cinnamon Candles! I think Febreeze is next week! Woohoo – my house is going to smell extra clean!
Bargain Becky’s last blog post..CVS!
stopping by to say hello. so glad to see you’re still saving money 🙂
@ Becky
I hope we don’t shop at the same CVS because I might have to fight you for those Glade candles. 🙂
@ Tanyetta,
Thanks for dropping by….I keep going to your site and looking at the pics of your family.
Good job! I’m so jealous about those Glade candles…I think I mentioned a few days ago that we only get 1/6 of the deals in NYC that the rest of the country gets, and I missed out completely. I assume, like me, you are drooling over the free ECB stuff on offer on Black Friday! I’ll be in New Jersey that day, and fully capable of taking advantage of CVS – and I’ve got $17 in ECB to burn, woohoo!
