My grand scheme failed. I only got the Excedrin and the make-up. They didn't have the Cottenelle or the allergy meds. I couldn't get the St. Ives coupon to print. Maybe I'll get it right next time.
I've started CVSing and wanted to share my slightly confusing but awesome plan for this week.

Transaction #1

Excedrin (20-24 ct) $1.99

Use $2/1 printable coupon or 2/1 coupon from the 10/19 SmartSource
Final Price:
Free

St. Ives Skin Care, $2.99
$2/1 St. Ives printable
$0.99 after coupon!


American Greeting Cards starting at 99¢ (Buy 3 for Extra Buck Deal)
Earn $3 Extra Bucks, when you buy (3) American Greeting Cards (limit 1)

Total OOP = $3.99 or use leftover ECBs (I think I have $3)

ECBs Earned = $3.00

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Transaction #2

CVS 24 hour Allergy Relief 5 ct. $3.79
Earn $3.79 Extra Bucks (limit 2)
Use 3.00 ECB from Transaction #1

Total OOP = $0.79

ECBs Earned = $3.79

--------------------------------------------------------------

Transaction #3

1 - Cottonelle Moist Wipes @ $5.98

-$.50 Cottonelle Wipes Mfg coupon

Use 3.79 ECB from Transaction #2

Total OOP = $2.19

ECBs Earned = $3.00

--------------------------------------------------------------

Transaction #4

Buy (2) Maybelline Mineral Products @ $7.99
Use (2) $3/1 any Maybelline Foundation 10-26 Red Plum Insert
Earn $10 Extra Bucks when you buy (2) Maybelline Mineral Products

Use 3.00 ECB from Transaction #3

Total OOP = $6.98

ECBs Earned = $10.00

----------------------------------------------------------

Total value = $33.73
Final OOP = $10.95 (or $13.95)

ECBs remaining = $10.00

----------------------------------------------------------

Without the last transaction the totals come out like this...
Total value = $17.75

Final OOP = $3.97 (or $6.95)

ECBs remaining = $3.00

My ideas came from various websites like this one.
