I Grocery Gamed at CVS today. Don will be so jelly of my fantabulous bargains. Perhaps I should remind him that Dawn is super, super cheap at CVS this week because apparently, his wife – er, uh girlfriend – er, uh roommate – er, uh person-with-which-he-shares-his-house thinks you have to fill the glass with Dawn for it to get clean. But really, a little dab’ll do ya.

• ×2 Dawn Dish Soap
• ×3 Dove Body Wash 
• Charmin Toilet Paper 16 ct
• Bayer Contour Glucose Meter (for Tina’s mom)
• CVS Divine Cookies

Subtotal = $126.92
- CVS Sale Savings : $76.94
- Manufacturer Coupon Savings : $18.99
- CVS Coupon Savings : $1.00

Out of Pocket Total = $14.99

Net Total = $11.99 … Savings of 91%

P.S. I made a complete as*hole of myself at CVS today by insisting that they double charged me according to what I saw on my online banking when, in fact, I completely forgot I went to CVS yesterday and bought Pampers. So, to shift manager Jeff, I’m really, really, sorry. Honestly, I’m not a neurotic. Seriously.

Here are some good upcoming deals at various drug stores you can do without manufacturer’s coupons. Of course, if you cut and save the coupons in Sunday’s paper, these deals will be even sweeter.

ECB = Extra Care Bucks (good on your next purchase at CVS)
MC = Manufacturer’s Coupons
RR = Register Rewards (good on your next purchase at Walgreens)

CVS : 6/7 to 6/13

• Dove Body Wash 24 oz $7/ea
  Buy 3 in order to receive $10 ECB.
  You’ll get 3 items, each for $3.67 after ECB (or even less if you had MCs).
• Dawn Dish Liquid $1/ea
  Buy 2 in order to receive $1 ECB.
  You’ll get 2 items, each for 50¢ after ECB (or even less if you had MCs).

Walgreens : 6/14 – 6/20

• Skippy Peanut Butter & Ragu Sauce $2/ea.
  Buy 8 in order to receive $8 RR.
  You’ll get 8 items, each for $1 after RR (or even less if you had MCs).

Walgreens : 6/21 – 6/27

• Aquafresh Toothpaste $3/ea.
  Buy 1 in order to receive $3 RR.
  You’ll get the item free after RR  (or even less if you had MC).

Target had quite a bit of stuff on clearance that I was able to combine with coupons I had.

I got 4 packages of Johnson & Johnson gauze that was on clearance for $1.08 for 8¢ each after four $1 coupons.

I got a free bottle of Cascade Dishwasher Rinse w/ coupon and a free bottle of Windex after mail-in rebate.
