A beautiful trip to CVS!

Beauty products and skincare can cost a pretty penny, and I am always searching for deals, but it seems that it is expensive to be beautiful...

Well, this week, CVS was the place to be for an awesome Olay deal! It was a beautiful trip!

Thanks to a great coupon in this week's paper, and a super CVS deal to match, my beauty supplies were wonderfully affordable. 

The Scoop? There was a coupon for a free Olay Regenerist Eye Roller when you buy (2) Olay Moisturizers in the Sunday paper- plus, CVS had a GREAT deal on Olay this week: Buy the Olay Regenerist Eye Roller and you receive $6 Extra Care Bucks.  See where I am going with this?

And...my trip to CVS was so beautiful, I ended up getting MUCH more than just Olay, AND I got ALL of it about the regular price of the eye roller!

Here is what happened on my beautiful trip to CVS this week:

I did three transactions this week and here is how I did it:

Transaction #1 (The receipt for this one walked away, so I will do my best to explain it)

I bought:
(2) Airwick Aqua Mist Sprays @ 2.50 each=$5
(2) Airwick Scented Oil Refills @ 2.50 each=$5
(1) Skintimate Shave Gel @ 3.98

Coupons used:
(1) BOGO Airwick Aqua Mist Spray (-2.50)
(1) Airwick Scented Oil Refills (-2.50)

Total $13.98 minus $3.50 in coupons=$10.48 + tax OOP (out of pocket)
*Received $5 ECB

Transaction #2:
The deal: (Buy Olay Eye Roller Get $6 ECB)
