All This Junk For Under $9I got some pretty decent deals at the drug stores this week. The picture above show my haul at CVS for just under nine dollars. In all I got 21 items from three stores for $26.69. I got $4 eb and $3 +up. This effectively turns the cost into $19.69 for 21 items or 94 cents each item.
The breakdown is as follows.
| Store | Cash Outlay | Reward $ | Retail Cost |
| CVS | $8.97 | $4 | $35.92 |
| Rite Aid | $13.29 | $3 | $26.00 |
| Walgreens | $4.43 | $0 | $6.93 |
| Total | $26.69 | $7 | $68.85 |
In all this is about a 60% savings without adjusting for the reward dollars. Adjusting for reward dollars it is around a 70% discount. Each stores page, just click the name tab near the top of the page, has a detailed analysis of the purchase and costs. Of the three CVS is the clear winner. After adjusting for ebs the eight items pictured above cost a ridiculous 62 cents each and represent about 85% off of retail price.
But as I will continue to stress this deal requires planning and a coupon stockpile (This week the coupons were all amazingly from the last three weeks or so. Often a deal like this will require a substantial coupon stockpile created from purchases of at least two papers a week for a minimum two month period)
Even more unusually I did not have to stand in line more than once. Anybody can get deals like this, and better, with some effort. Below is a picture of all the crap I got for around $27. As you can see I opened the paper towels and used them on the way home. Of course wait till you see how I made out at Ralphs on Tuesday too.
