Procrastination Pays Off... sort of!

I usually try to get to CVS or Walgreens early on Sunday mornings since I live beachside in Central FL and those stores are at the main cross roads for visitors coming for a fun beach day.

I was not organized enough to get there early, so decided to wait. Then, I saw a post on southernsavers.com about the CVS buy 2 Neutrogena suncare products gb $10 ecb and how 1 oz size containers @ $1.99 ea were triggering the $10 ecb!!

Even though it was about 7 pm, I decided to get organized fast and see if I could find them at my store. I already had a $3 off/$15 from my email and a $5 off/$30 from the scanner, so I was preparing to make different deals depending on what I found.

NO LUCK at my store : [ I ended up buying 2 Neutrogena reg size, which my husband likes anyway, at the sale price and using my $3 off/ $15 and paying with some ecb... oop ~ $6.
I then used the $5 off/$30 to buy playtex w/q; nail polish w/q; sobe x4 w/bogo q's; soft scrub x4 w/bogo q's; St Ives scrub trial size x2 w/q's; J+J First Aid Kit travel size w/q; 3 bags CVS cotton balls... paying with the $10 ecb... my balance was -$1.89 and I had to buy some candy to bring it to oop $0.30!!!

Even though I did not get lucky with the moneymaker Neutrogena, I still cannot complain about getting all those products for about ~$6.00... BUT, that is not the end of the story...

Before I went on my trip, I was telling my friend Michele, a newbie, about the possible deal. She had been planning on going the next day. After my trip I texted her about our store not having the 1 oz size Neutrogena, so she decided to go to a different store today about 5 miles away and... they had the 1 oz size : ] ... so my procrastination paid off, for Michele!!

I didn't get the best deal but I still think... I pwn couponing!
