This email was from Julia C. She did a great job this week at CVS!

Ok Tiffany! I just had to share my shopping trip to CVS! You've got me hooked on these stores now and I'm getting more and more for free than I ever had! So I attached the picture of everything I got and here are the transactions:

Transaction 1:

4 Stayfree pads 6.69 each (B1G1 sale)

4 playtex sport tampons 5.29 each
Regular Total: $47.92

I used:

2 Stayfree B1G1 coupons

1 $1 playtex tampons printable coupon
$4 of $20 purchase for signing up my extracare card for emails

Plus I got back $10 ECB's

Transaction 2:

2 Ziplock freezer bags 2/$5

1 Scrubbing bubbles

1 Pledge multi surface spray 2/$5

2 boxes kellogg's raisin bran crunch 2/$5

Regular Total: $15

I looked for the pretzel M&M's and they didn't have any. Now I had all 3 kids with me and I promised them some candy for being good. So we drove to the other CVS and they had to get out a new box of the M&M's so here was my 4th transaction at the other store:

4 pretzel M&M's B1G1 .89

I used:

2 B1G1 pretzel M&M's coupons

OOP: $0!

I know you said they freak out when the total is zero but I figured if they were going to fuss about it, it was just some candy. But the cashier didn't bat an eye and my kids had their candy. Notice in the picture 2 of the bags are empty :) Their just rewards!

Sorry it's a long email, I was really excited and had to share!

Hope you're having a great day!

Julia C.

Thanks so much for the great email! I am glad you found the M&M's I am still looking for some! Way to go for shopping with the kids!
