The Black Friday sale is over. After 8 trips to CVS, where I would use the ECB coupons that print on receipts from each previous trip, I was able to get $141 worth of stuff with a final out-of-pocket expense of $1.48, and $17.79 in ECBs still left over (As in, I paid $1.48 to get ALL that stuff). I started this all out with $17.47 worth of ECBs (my initial out-of-pocket expense from last week). True, we ended up with a lot of crap, like Gatorade drinks, energy shot drinks, and a candy bar, but the useful stuff included:

5 tubes of toothpaste
1 Crest Spin-Brush toothbrush
1 Johnson's hand lotion
2 pairs of Phillips headphones
2 bottles of shampoo
2 tubes of flavored lip gloss
2 vials of CoverGirl liquid foundation
1 box of Garnier moist towlette facial wipes
1 Schick quattro razor with an electric trimmer
5 bars of RightGuard deodorant and
1 vial of nail color

Most of the make-up wet to my mom, of course. This kind of a sale comes but once a year, but I think that with all the toothpaste and deodorant, we may be set for just about that long. There's more info explaining what it is that I actually did at http://www.mydollarplan.com/cvs-my-frugal-dream-come-true/ with the Hotcouponworld.com site being the most helpful in figuring out the deals. Over the next few weeks CVS will continue to have a few deals here and there, although obviously not on this scale, and I hope to continue getting free stuff using tis same system.
