I am new to couponing and the drugstore game. In fact, I only received my CVS card in the mail this weekend, so today was my first trip out to RiteAid, CVS and Walgreens. A lot of the deals I had planned were out of stock and I had ZERO coupons, but I feel like I did pretty good overall! Add the fact that I had to buy diapers, I'd have done even better. Here we go...

After all rebates, my total cost for this trip was nothing! I made a
profit of $0.02! They were out of the Axe shower gel, 6 plug power strips and toothbrushes, but hopefully I can get in on these deals before they expire.
Next stop: WalgreensI only had one thing on my list for Walgreens - I wanted to get in on the $1.99 laundry detergent deal. They were completely out, but I snagged a 5-pack of razors and a 4-pack of toothbrushes for $0.50 each.
Grand Total: $1.07Last stop: CVSI split this trip into 3 separate transactions. I spent a bit more than I would have liked, but Boy2 was almost out of diapers and diapers are expensive!

All in all I ended up spending 32 dollars and some change. I ended the day with no ECB's. I feel that I did pretty good for not having any coupons other than one manufacturer coupon stuck on a box of pantiliners that I didn't even notice!
What did you get this week? What do you plan to get?
