I just got the Propel Water this week, so thought I'd share my mom's trip instead.  The dollar is from a refund for a coupon I forgot to use-love my CVS clerks!  It was done in two transactions-one for personal and one to put in shoeboxes to donate to Operation Christmas Child.  Details below.

Transaction #2:

Cash Paid:  $2.57 (after receiving the $1.00 back for the coupon)

Amount Saved:  $4.68  or 65%

The Dial & Wet 'N Wild counts towards CVS Beauty Club (spend $50 get $5 ECB).

The second transaction items will be packed in some Operation Christmas Child shoe box gifts next Christmas.  We shop all year long to help us be able to pack dozens of boxes for kids in need.  I use the free CVS Gift Cards I earn on Swagbucks to buy many of the items.
