Side Note: Hunting season started on Thursday morning. Mike and some budding camped out Wednesday night so they could be right there and ready to start hunting. Mike is super excited about it and is thankful that he has a buddy and place to hunt at. He shot at two dears with his bow, but only killed one. It is currently in a cooler in the backyard. Mike keeps doing something with ice with it. I think he is assuming that we are going to cook and eat it soon, but with all do respect, he is misled - there is not way in this ENTIRE world that I would be eating that. I told him if he got it processed I may eat it - but may is the key word in the sentence.
whew, anyhow.
Here is what I bought at CVS yesterday for basically nothing but tax (the tax issues can be confusing)
Here is how I did it:
Glade Reed Diffuser - $6.99$6.99 in ECB's
I used a $3 off manufacture coupon that was in the paper a few weeks ago.
Total up front: $3.99 - but free plus overage after ECB
Spend $15 in Revlon products get $7 in ECB
Revlon Mascara - $7.49 and Revlon Lipstick - $7.99
I had a $1 off coupon for each item.
Total upfront: $13.48 - but after ECB $6.48
2 Blistex Chapstick - $2.99
I used a $3 off printable coupon for Neosporin Chapstick. Our store was out of that product and our manager is amazing, and let me get another item and still have it free. I needed these two items in order to get to $25 so I could use a coupon for $5 off.
Total: FREE!
Total before coupons: $28.45
- I used a $5 off $25
- $10.98 in coupons
Subtotal: $12.47
Tax: $1.95
Total: $14.42
I gave him $14 in ECB
(Now, sometimes you can use ECB on the whole purchase, and sometimes you can only use it on the subtotal. I am not sure why this is. So, I took the chance and gave him $14 in ECB and it took them all.)
I had to pay the .42 for tax. And I got 14 in ECB back. So, basically I just traded in ECB's and walked out with all these items.

You will eat it. Your man killed it for his family, God gave it to his children, and a deer gave his life. This was all for US. Don't deny the blessing.
It is free! This deer meat could be your best deal yet!
That is a good point Connie. Take that Molly :) Well, in essence it is free, however, deer hunting (esp bow hunting) is actually expensive. But, this deer will not die in vain. It will be consumed by the Spivey household, and it will be lifted up in prayer (as it prob will need it).
