Is Couponing Worth It?

I made a trip over to CVS this morning.  My local CVS (the Liberty location), was sold out of most of the products so I headed to another store.  Neither store had the Maalox deal that would have resulted in a $8 Money-maker.  Still I was able to grab some good deals.


Transaction #1
(2) Airwick Freshmatic Starter Kits- $6.00
(3) Finish Dishwasher Tabs- $3.00
$21.00 Total
-(2) $4/1 Airwick Freshmatic Starter Kit 1/9SS
-(2) $2.25/1 Finish Dishwasher Tabs 1/2SS
-(1) $1.00/1 Finish Dishwasher Tabs 1/2SS
$7.50 (plus tax) OOP (received $10 ECB to be applied to next transaction)

Transaction #2
(2) GM Lucky Charms- 3/$10
(1) Natures Valley Granola Bars- 3/$10
(1) Revlon Nail Polish (75% off)- $1.34
(1) Snickers Bar-$.89
$12.23 Total
-(1) $1/2 General Mills Cereal 1/9SS
-(1) $.50/1 Natures Valley Granola Bars found here
-(1) $10 ECB from Transaction #1
$.73 (plus tax) OOP + $4.89 ECB = $4.16 Money-maker

$7.50 OOP (from transaction #1)- $4.16 Money-maker (from transaction #2) = $3.34 OOP Total & $29.89 Saved

I'm not the only one who scored at CVS this morning, Monica wrote to tell me that she got all the following for just $30 after her manufacturers coupons and ECB

2 boxes granola bars
2 boxes of Cheerios
3 bottles of Pantene Pro V Shampoo and Conditioner
2 small bags of peanut M & M's
1 64 load bottle load of Tide
2 bottles of Windex
2 Bottles of Lysol Toilet Cleaner
1 Lysol Wipes
4 Boxes of Eletresol tabs
