Free stuff at CVS

Lately I've been not having good luck at CVS. I've been spending more than I mean to, and getting flustered juggling all the coupons with a line behind me, resulting in deals not working out as I planned. This week, however, everything worked. I came prepared to the store, found what I needed, and ended up getting a pretty good deal.

Excedrin: 2 @ $1.99
Pumpkin buckets: 2 @ .99
Candy corn: 2 @ $1.29
GUM toothbrush pack: $3.99
TOTAL: $12.53 + tax

Coupons:
-$4 : $2 off Excedrin (here) (printed twice)
-.75 : .75 off GUM toothbrush
-$6.99 in ECBs

Out of Pocket: .79 + tax

ECBs for next time:
$1.98 for pumpkin buckets
$2.58 for candy corn
$3.99 for toothbrushes
TOTAL: $8.55 in ECBs

Bonus: I <3 candy corn.

* I don't subscribe to the newspaper, but get my coupons from printing sites online or from generous donors- my parents :) Some people even participate in online trading of coupons to grow their stash. I'm still new to the couponing world!
