Free VS

Have I ever mentioned that I love CVS?? Okay well I love CVS!! :)
I could spend hours in there just looking at nail polish, makeup, and clearance stuff and I have!! Usually, I don't spend that much time in there anymore because nowadays, since I have become obsessed with being a cheapskate, I have a list and my coupons all ready. No more wasting hours in CVS, buying stuff that is not needed (well, I could use a new nail color, who couldn't?) :) Okay, I will wait for the sale! *curses under breath* lol

After I read my freebie blogs etc. and reviewed the sales at CVS, I knew it wasn't going to be a great week there as far as sales and ECBs (extra care bucks). But there was one good thing. Candles. Okay, you got me. I love candles as much as I love CVS (not mixed though, cuz buying candles at CVS is ridiculous!!) I wouldn't have even went to CVS this week, but I had to get a script and when I saw that candles were on sale, I couldn't resist them! The new Glade Fragrance Collection candles! Actually, I have been wanting to try these since they came out, but at $8.99 - 10.99 (depending on where you go) there was no way I was trying them at that price!!! O_o Luckily for me, they were on sale at CVS this week for $6.99 and if you buy one, you can get $6.99 back in ECBs. . .YEP! That means FREE!!! (gotta love Free VS!!)

Here was my deal . . .

Bought 2 GFC soy candles @ $6.99 each
Bought a 2oz GFC soy candle @ 3.29 each
Script @ $5.00
Used $3.00 off two Glade Candle purchase coupon
Used get a 2oz Glade soy Candle Free
Total: $12.42
ECB Total: $6.99

Cashed out at pharmacy. . .got ECB
Went back to candles. . . got another one
Went to front register. . .got candle free using ECB!!

Wrap it all up. . .
I got 3 Glade Fragrance collection soy candles and one 2oz soy candle for $7.42!!!
(12.42 - $5 script fee)
That is less than $2 a piece for candles that cost almost $10 each!!
I was one happy camper!! :) And no, I am not being greedy, I only kept two for myself and am using the others as gifts for the family reunion (I am in charge of "adult games" - so I have been running around for a year collecting good CHEAP gifts to give away as prizes) ;)

I love bargain shopping!!
Be back later to let you know about my awesome Kmart deals (cuz they have double coupons this week for the last time EVER - which sux)
