CVS Hauling: Revlon & Milani

Yesterday I had the chance to put down the books for a bit and head out to CVS for some healthy hauling with my little brother. How did I do?

1. Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in True Red- $8.99
2. Milani Lip Flash Full Coverage Shimmer Gloss Pencil- $6.99
3. Milani Minerals Blush in Mai-Tai- $6.49
4. Cheetos- $0.99
5. Lipstick Charm- $2.49

1. Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick- $6.99 (plus $5 Extra Bucks)

3. Milani Minerals Blush (BOGO)- $3.24
4. Cheetos- $0.99
5. Lipstick Charm- $2.49
Coupons:
1. $4 off $20 purchase
2. $3 off any Revlon purchase
3. $2.49 off (free beauty charm with any $15 beauty purchase)
4. $1 off Revlon (retailer coupon)
Real Total (before tax): $10.21
I also got $5 Extra Bucks for the Revlon ColorBurst lipstick. Usually, I'd make 2 transactions for the Extra Bucks but because I didn't want anything else, I did it in 1 transaction so I could use the $4 off $20 and Free Beauty Charm coupons.
I've gotten 2 beauty charms so far -gave the pink lipstick to my little sister.
Have you done any drugstore hauling lately? How did you do?

  1. Great use of coupons/sales! I have a quick question about Extra Bucks and deals with them- for that Revlon lipstick, you get $5 in EB when you buy it at $6.99, so the EB you get are for your NEXT purchase right? You still have to pay the $6.99 for the lipstick?
    Just wanted to make sure I'm getting this right, haha- the people at my CVS are really intimidating :/

  2. @ Steph.. Yes. You pay the $6.99 and then get $5 EB for your next pruchase. Usually, I'd just buy the lipgloss separate and use the EBs for the rest of my purchases but because I had a $4 off $20 purchase coupon, I did it all together since my total was around $20. Aww.. they're intimidating??! Don't worry about it, just hand them the coupons and keep quiet LOL. =)

    @ siwing.. Thanks!

  3. That helps a bunch, thanks!
    Haha... I think I'm a little scarred from asking where the scanner was. They were like, "it's right in front of you." LOL
