All Quiet on the Drugstore Front

It was kind of a quiet week this week for my shopping trips.  I ended up breaking my general rule of only one drugstore per week and went to both CVS and Walgreens.  Both of my stores are right across the street from each other and with how small both of my trips were going to be I figured it didn't hurt to hit them both.  I found a few clearance deals and got one of my rebate items at Walgreens.

Walgreens Transaction 1: 
Olay Definity Cleanser - $2.39 (regularly $10, I believe)
Olay Definity Cleanser - $2.39
Scunci Hair Elastics - $2.00
Degree Deodorant - $1.29
Degree Deodorant - $1.29
Hershey Kisses Almonds - $1.25

-$3.00 MQ Olay
-$3.00 MQ Olay
-$1.00 MQ Degree
-$1.00 MQ Degree
-2.50 RR

Total Before Qs:  $10.61
Total After Qs:  $.11, paid for with rebate gift card so $0 OOP!

Walgreens Transaction 2:
Schick Intuition Refills - $2.89 (regularly $9.99 I believe)
Schick Intuition Refills - $2.89
Schick Intuition Refills - $2.89
3 Hershey Kisses Almonds - $3.75

-$4 MQ Schick adjusted down to $2.89
-$4 MQ Schick adjusted down to $2.89
-$4 MQ Schick adjusted down to $2.89
-$1.50 MQ Hershey's
-$2 RR

Total Before Qs:  $12.42
Total After Qs with Tax:  $.58, paid for with rebate gift card, so $0 OOP!  Earned $5 Hershey's rebate.

CVS Transaction:
2 Colgate Sensitive Enamel Toothpaste - $7.98
1 Softsoap Body Wash - $4.99
2 Adidas Deodorant - $7.48 (clearanced down from $4.99 each)
4 SoBe 20 oz. - $6.76

-$1.00 MQ Colgate
-$1.00 MQ Colgate
-$1.50 MQ Softsoap
-$1.00 MQ Adidas
-$1.00 MQ Adidas
-$3.28 MQ BOGO (SoBe)
-$3.38 BOGO Store Sale (SoBe)
-$4.00 off $20.00
-$10 ECB

Total Before Qs:  $27.21
Total After Qs with Tax:  $1.10, Earned $4.99 ECB (Softsoap), $7.98 ECB (Colgate), $4.00 ECB (Adidas)

I took advantage of some great clearanced items that when combined with a MQ were free or nearly free.  The Adidas and Degree deodorants were nearly free with MQs and the razors and facial cleanser were free with MQ.   All in all a good day.  Happy Shopping!

Hi CCC,

I just arrived at this site for the first time from another blog, but I must say, you could have whole other career as a DJ. Just what I needed to get through the rest of my workday.

Thanks
