This is my FIRST attempt to "extreme coupon" lol.. I went to CVS last night and stocked up on some goodies that we needed. My goal, was to get out of there paying LESS than $40 out of pocket, and snag the $10 gas card (which would make it $30 out of pocket). Let's see howI did 2 transactions, because I wanted my EXTRA CARE BUCKS to use towards the BIG, second transaction. You'll see why....
TRANSACTION #1:
3 - Twin packs of AXE products!
CVS sale= buy 3 for $13, and GET $4 ECB (extra care bucks)
