Here is what I grabbed at CVS for the great Black Friday Ad! This is the shopping trip that we wait for all year. 🙂 I met up with Laurie, her daughter and nephew, Adam.  He's a college student so I gave him my laundry detergent (he swapped his Somnapure for my mission trip) so that's missing in the picture.  I paid almost only tax on my transactions and only used 7 coupons

I am having a hard time determining which coupons I am supposed to get from the links. It would be more helpful if I knew what coupons are for which product. Thanks.
I will keep that in mind Rikki! Thanks for letting me know:).
I tried the B1G1 and there isn’t such a coupon. There is a Sparkle $1.00 off of a 6 pack or more only.
Hey Rikki! It is the one that you have to pick your favorite design (on the right of the 6 Roll coupon). Let me know if you find it.
At our CVS, they had an unadvertised “Buy $150 prepaid PayPal MasterCard debit card”, get $50 in ECBs.
NOW…the gift card cost $5.95 to buy and has a $4.95 monthly fee, but it’s still a $40 money maker. You can buy it, activate it right away (if you have a smart phone – it’s easiest to do over the internet or wait til you get home) and use that to purchase your other things. Or it’s great to take grocery or gift shopping and use it up! Not the simplest transaction, but it was worth it.
And $50 ECBs isn’t the easiest to spend, but if they have a good Tide deal coming up, maybe I’ll use it for that!
Hey Jayme! That is a good deal! I agree, that would be hard to spend. The next weeks ad is pretty good, hopefully you can put the ECBs to good use! : )

I ran into CVS on my way to work to get a coke and something for a headache. I really appreciated Laurie stepping aside mid transactions to let me check out. Although I did enjoy seeing her get some great deals. Love PPP.
How funny Melinda ~ goodness I guess we never know who’s watching!!! (So glad I was practicing what I preach!) 🙂
