Best shopping trip yet!

I can hardly believe the deal I got this week at CVS.  I did better than get items for free, I actually MADE MONEY!!!


This is what I purchased:
6 Ragu Pasta Sauces
6 speed stick deodorants
1 ThermaCare heat wrap (3 in a package)
1 Reeses Egg
2 Advil PMs
3 greeting cards

My total out of pocket there at the store was $7.23.  I received a $4.00 CVS extrabucks (it is like a store gift card with an expiration date.)  And I am sending in 2 mail in rebate forms to get a total of $15.00 back in the mail.  So after all is said and done I will have earned $11.77!

Here is a breakdown of what I did at the store.  I made three separate transactions.

1st Transaction
6 speed stick deodorants on sale for $1.99 each
I used 3 Buy one Get one Free speed stick coupons (each coupon took off the full price of one deodorant $3.99)
Because they could not give me overage they reduced the third coupon amount to 3.69.  Looking back I should have purchased the $0.87 Reeses Egg with this transaction to account for the overage, but I'm not complaining.
I paid $0.27
They then gave me my earned extrabucks
$6.00 for spending $12.00 on speed stick (before coupons)

2nd Transaction
6 Ragu Pasta Sauces on sale 3 for $5.00
1 Reeses Egg on sale for $0.87
3 greeting cards $0.99 each
I used 4 $0.50 off one Ragu coupons, 1 $2.00 off 3 greeting cards coupon, and the $6.00 extrabucks I earned in the first transaction.
I paid $3.97
They then gave me my earned extrabucks
$3.00 for spending $10.00 on groceries (before coupons)
$3.00 for buying 3 greeting cards
$1.00 for buying one Reeses Egg

3rd Transaction
2 Advil PMs on sale for $4.49 each
1 ThermaCare on sale for $5.99
I used 2 $1.00 off one Advil PM, 1 $3.00 off one ThermaCare, and all the extrabucks I earned in the 2nd transaction($3.00, $3.00, and $1.00)
I paid $2.99
They then gave me my earned extrabucks
$4.00 for buying 2 Pfizer products
