Black Friday shopping trips - CVS, Walgreens & Meijer

I have done SOOO much shopping over the last 36 hours - I am exhausted! I went to Meijer & CVS Thanksgiving morning to take advantage of the good deals. Then at 8:30pm Thanksgivings night I headed out to begin my Black Friday shopping. I shopped until 6:30am. I was awake for 27 hours straight & on my feet for probably 24 of those hours! It felt amazing to finally get in bed around 7am lol. Kohls was by far the worse store for Black Friday shopping I went to. I waited in line there for 2 hours. It was a crazy night but I had a blast!

CVS:
OOP:  $0.00 ($1.33 went on previously purchased gift cards) 
 -I have $42.86 ECB left over & I will get $1.00 deposited into my Saving Star account
Savings of: $117.97 or $120.30 if including amount saved by using gcards & Saving Star deposit


I was SO excited that my store had everything in stock that I needed. I had my transactions planned out and if something was missing it would have thrown everything off! I did goof my math on transaction 2 and instead of paying $0.00 OOP I ended up paying $.63. Not a huge deal, but I still can't figure out where I messed up lol. I started with $13.99 in ECB so I am THRILLED to now have over $42.00! There was 3 other couponers in there when I was but they were all respectful and helping each other out so it was really nice.

CVS had a lot of good deals! I only picked up a few myself, but I noticed quite a few people were picking out every "free after ECB" deal in the flier!
