CVS Shopping Trip 6/6/2015

I needed to stop into CVS tonight because my ECBs were expiring.  When I was actively shopping at CVS before I had no problem with using my ECBs if they were a few days past expiration but when I tried a few weeks ago the associate gave me a hard time about me trying to use them so I wanted to avoid that again.  I am still trying to cash out of CVS to be done with them again so I picked up some Centrum vitamins which will be a moneymaker after the SavingStar rebates go through.  Excellent deal for me to turn some of my ECBs into cash. 

I also picked up the Propel water since it was free.  I still was about $2.50 short of using my last expiring ECB so I just grabbed a small pack of Charmin toilet paper.  I thought I had a $0.75 coupon with me but unfortunately did not but decided it was the best thing for me to pick up since we are low on toilet paper anyways.  Yes, $3.00 is expensive for a small 4 pack but toilet paper is the one item we are brand loyal with so we typically have to pay a bit more but we save enough on other items to offset.
