    I have a CVS question.. Not sure if this is the right spot for it and I apologize if it’s not. Since the Stayfree pads are BOGO free and there is a coupon in Redplum for BOGO free, if you combine the coupon w/ the sale does that mean 2 free packages of pads?

    I bought 4 of the Scrubbing Bubbles Gel packs ($10), used 2 B1G1 coupons (now down to $5) paid with a $5 ECB from last week and rec’d $5 ECB’s back. Lovely deal!

    I got two packs of pretzel M&Ms today, used BOGO coupon from 6/27 RP to get them both for $.02! Plus $1 ECB printed off b/c I used my green bag tag!

    I was a little over $5 out of pocket, but I’ve got a rebate to mail in which will mean that I’ll be paid to shop after I receive the rebate. Woot!

    I really want to do this one week, but my RP insert doesn’t have the coupons you mentioned and I’m out of ink right now so can’t print from the site. One week I’m going to sit down with my coupons, my list, my computer and have an awesome $5 week at CVS and Walgreens. Planning is the first step, right? 🙂

    Didn’t get any ECB back, but got a great deal:
    2 Pantene Products at 50% off (2.50 each) used #2 off CVS coupon and $ 1 off 2 coupon
    3 BC Warm Delights (88 cents each) used 3 – 75 cents off 1 coupons
    4 BC Brownie mixes (88 cents each) used 2 – 75cents off 2 coupons
    Came in just under $5 with a savings of over $22.
