Thank you, CVS, for early Black Friday shopping!
(Although the employees will probably still have to work on Thursday. I think it's necessary for at least one drug store in a given area to be open, so that people needing medicine can get it. But it's not necessary for all of a store's branches to be open, and it's certainly not necessary to be out shopping on Thanksgiving Day for big screen TVs.)
I had fun getting lots of the free things - though I didn't get every possible free item. Some things I just didn't need, and other things I felt had too big an out-of-pocket cost. But here's what I did get:
1 Glade scented oil warmer @ $1.25 (receive $1.25 ECB)
- $1.00 off Glade PlugIns Scented Oil Warmer
= 25¢ ($1.00 moneymaker after ECBs)
1 Children's Advil $ $2.37 (receive $2.37 ECB)
- $1.50/1 Advil Children's Product printable
= 87¢ ($1.50 moneymaker after ECBs)
1 Playtex Sport tampons @ $7.99 (receive $4.00 ECB)
- $1/1 Playtex Sport Tampons printable
= $6.99 ($2.99 after ECBs)
1 Charmin Basic 1-pack @ 99¢ (receive 99¢ ECB)
- $0.25/1 Charmin Product, exp. 11/30/12 (P&G 10/28/12)
= 74¢ (25¢ moneymaker after ECBs)
1 Haviland thin mints @ 88¢ (receive 88¢ ECB)
1 Kraft macaroni & cheese @ 99¢ (receive 99¢ ECB)
1 Starbucks Doubleshot @ $1.99 (receive $1.99 ECB)
1 Advil 10 ct @ $2.99 (receive $2.99 ECB)
1 Cepacol 4 ct @ $1.00 (receive $1.00 ECB)
1 Kleenex Slim 3-pack @ 99¢ (receive 99¢ ECB)
1 Play-Doh soft pack @ $1.00 (receive $1.00 ECB)
2 CVS AA batteries @ BOGO $3.99
Total product: $23.09
Pay with $4 ECB from previous weeks
Total product after ECBs: $19.09
Tax: $1.05
Total out of pocket: $20.14
Total saved compared to CVS full prices: $13.32

I know! I bought a ton of stuff there this morning!
I took advantage of this as well. My CVS is small and doesn't carry all of the deals so I missed out on the Playdoh and Hot Wheels. I'm looking forward to using the ECB's on next weeks sale.
I took advantage of this also, but went later on in the day and some of the drink and food items were already out. but i did manage to get $9.50 in ecb's.
