This is my weekend without the kids, so the first thing I did this morning after their dad picked them up was head out to do some shopping! (P.S. So hard to shop with kids…love em to death..but hate shopping with em ;) I hit up 4 stores in a marathon run of 2 hours. I actually ended up by going to Shaws twice, while I was out on the road, a reader named Sue emailed me to let me know the Smuckers Grape Jam was on sale for $1.79, which meant $.29 after my coupon. So I made a second trip..which was great, because I ended up finding more Powerades with the $.75/2 hang tags!

Welcome to the first post in the Project CVS series. A few weeks ago, I won a $25 Gift Card to CVS on Quibids. When I received it in the mail, I thought about how fun it would be to show you readers how far just one $25 CVS gift card could go using the coupons, Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) and sales tricks that I use :)
Today was my first day shopping with my brand spanking new CVS card and here’s what I got:
(2) Gas X Prevention Capsules – $6.29/ea
(2) Gas X Chewables – $5.79/ea
(1) EOS Lip Balm (OMG…I freaking love these!) On sale for $2.99
Total Before Coupons: $28.77
Used (2) $4.00/1 Gas X Prevention Printable Coupon
Used (2) $3.00/1 Gas X Product Printable Coupon
Used 20% Off CVS Facebook Coupon
Total After Coupons + Tax: $9.43
Received $10.00 Extra Care Bucks for Gas-X
Received $2.99 Extra Care Bucks for EOS Lip Balm
Totals Before Shopping Trip: Gift Card ($25)+ ECBs ($0) = $25.00
Totals After Shopping Trip: Gift Card ($15.57) + ECBs ($12.99) = $28.56
