CVS Shopping Trip - $68 Worth of Product for $5.41

My stockpile has been running low on laundry soap for some time.  I decided to take advantage of an Extra Care Bucks promotion on Tide, in addition to a couple of other small deals.  While the trip wasn't 100% how I planned, I still did pretty well.  Over the course of 3 transactions, I was able to get a total of $67.84 worth of products for only $5.41.  Not quite a moneymaker, but I will take 92% savings any day.  See the breakdown below.

Candy is not shown. Uncle Jesse is.

Transaction #1:

Purchased:

5 Tide laundry detergents for $5.94 each (marked down from $8.39, spend $25 get $5 ECB)

Used:

5 $2/1 Tide manufacturer coupons
1 $5/$15 purchase CVS coupon
$10 ECB from a previous trip

Paid: $6.50 (including tax), received $5 ECB

Transaction #2:

Purchased:

3 Pantene shampoos for $3.34 each (marked down from $5)
1 Lancaster cream candies for $3.99 (marked down from $4.99)

Used:

1 $5/3 Pantene products manufacturer coupon
1 $2/1 Lancaster candy manufacturer coupon
1 $1/1 Lancaster candy CVS coupon

Purchased:

2 Curel lotions for $2.99 each (buy any 2 Curel or Jergen's, get $4 ECB)

Used:

That is total of $67.84 products for only $5.41!  It breaks out to about $0.49 per item.  While it wasn't a moneymaker as I had anticipated, I still see the trip as a success!
