Saved 98 %~ $25 CVS Gift Card Challenge Update

I had a $4 ECB expiring, so I went looking for some good deals to use it on as part of my $25 CVS Gift Card Challenge with my free $25 CVS gift card from Swagbucks.  I decided on the Suave and pencils deals, but after coupons that only came to around $1.50, so I also picked up some of the tissues that were on sale-less than half price!!!

Cash Paid:  $1.01

Amount Saved:  $21.70  or 98%

Extra Bucks Used:  $4

Coupons used:

• $1 mailed ECB coupon
• $2 off beauty emailed coupon
• $3/2 Suave Professionals Gold Hair Care Products, exp. 8/27/16 (RP 08/07/16) [Excludes luxe styling products and 2-oz. trial sizes]
• $0.55/1 Paper Mate Pen or Pencil pack 2 ct. or higher (SS 7/31) 
• $1/1 Kashi product, 1.59 oz+ (RP 8/7)

Extra Bucks Received:

• $2 on Suave
• $0.50 on mechanical pencils 

The Suave counts towards CVS Beauty Club (spend $50 get $5 ECB).

This is shopping trip #16 in my CVS gift card challenge.  My $25 CVS gift card earned on Swagbucks plus extra bucks and cash back earned on purchases made with it total  $26.76 worth of CVS spending power.  See the spread sheet below for details of my current totals.
