CVS Deal Shopping Trip for 1/11/15 Ad ~ Saved $29+ (90%)

I received a $5 off $15 total order CVS coupon in my email.  I was happy about that as I knew there was the get $9.99 ECB when you buy the CVS Gas Relief for $9.99, so knew the $5 off would pretty much be free, so I hope to take advantage of the Christmas clearance.  My store was out of most items, but there were candy canes that didn't expire until 2017, so I thought they were safe to stock up on, details of the trip below:

Cash Paid:  $ 3.38 [Paid using a FREE CVS gift cards I earned on Swagbucks.  Swagbucks is the largest online rewards site that gives free gift cards to its members for their online activities.

Amount Saved:  $ 29.80 or 90%

Extra Bucks Used:  $ 7.00

Extra Bucks Received:  $ 9.99

The candy canes will be packed in some Operation Christmas Child shoe box gifts next Christmas (expiration dates are 2017).  We shop all year long to help us be able to pack dozens of boxes for kids in need.  You can see my mom's CVS Dollar Section 75% off clearance post on her blog:  Simply Shoe Boxes (click image to see her trips--we hit three stores and bought dozens of items for charity--this image is just one of many).
