CVS...Went to Plan B! Redemption!

My dh (dear husband) needed some allergy meds. I jumped on it to get a chance to go to CVS solo! Wahoo. I was in heaven, well for a sec. I soon realized that the Cool Rinse is out and so is the Whitening Crest...as I already had my game plan on my excel spreadsheet print out... which included these two deals and I was trying to use the $5 off 30 Purchase! Wanted to use this CVS Q b/c I was getting Claritin - a more expensive item that I normally don't buy...which was gone...so we got Zyrtec ($18.99-had a better Q for this anyway!) So I had this planned and then got about the same deal with plan B! (God is so good. The other deal I happened to have all the Q's with me and even scored another $1 off CVS Q from a tearpad! Wahoo!!)

Plan A:
transaction 1:
$18.99 Claritin D (Earn $2 ecbs)
- 3.00 Claritin Printable
$ 3.99 Listerine Cool Blue (Earn $3 ecbs)
- 1.00 Listerine Printable
$ 6.98 2-Crest Whitening TP (Earn $6.98 ecbs)
- 1.50 2-Crest $.75/1 Q
- 5.00 CVS $5/$30 purchase
- 6.00 ECB's from last week
$14.93 OOP (including tax)

**Higher than I would normally pay OOP for anything at CVS, but I would not normally buy Claritin!**

transaction 2:
$19.00 2-Jumbo packs of Huggies!
- 2.00 CVS any Huggies
- 3.00 2-$1.50/1 Home mailers
-$6.98 ECB's from trans #1
$7.95 OOP (including tax!)

So Plan A failed...as there was nothing available from plan A.

I happened to see an end cap with the rimmel mascara deal. $6.99 get $4 ecbs. I had a rimmel Q and saw there was a tearpad with a CVS Q $1 off any Rimmel. So I added 7+19...needed $4 more dollars to get to $30 to use the Q! So I headed over to the Garnier Shampoo/conditioner/syler deal. $2.99 get $2 ecb. I had a $1 Q. Perfect...threw in some candy to make up a great back-up plan.

Plan B:
$18.99 Zyrtec (earn $1 ecb)
- 4.00 Zyrtec Q
$ 6.99 Rimmel Mascara (earn $4 ecbs)
- 1.00 CVS $1 off Rimmel (tearpad on display)
- 1.00 $1/1 Rimmel from inserts
$ 2.99 Garnier Conditioner mask (earn $2 ecbs)
- 1.00 $1/1 Garnier product from inserts
$ 1.50 3 - candy bars (to bump up my total)
- 5.00 $5/$30 purchase
- 6.00 ECBs from last week
$13.86 OOP plus got $7 ecbs!

transaction 2:
$19.00 2-Jumbo packs of Huggies!
- 2.00 CVS any Huggies
- 3.00 2-$1.50/1 Home mailers
-$6.00 ECB's from trans #1
$8.84 OOP (including tax!)

Total OOP $22.70
For Zyrtec (originally $18.99!), Mascara, Hair Conditioning mask and 2 Jumbo bags of diapers!
Not too bad for a little impromptu run!
