Nice stockup trip to the local drugstores today.

March 14th, 2011 at 03:43 am

Made a quickie trip to the local CVS & Walgreens. Making strategic use of coupons, cash back, register rewards, etc...I got the following:

- 15 2-liter Coke (diet) bottles
- 9 bubble wrap mailers (the right size for mailing books with Half.com - normally sell for $1 each)
- 3 Irish Spring body wash bottles
- 1 Irish spring deodarant
- 2 Reese cup packs
- 1 gellatin package
- 2 bags of honey wheat pretzels (I love that stuff)
- 1 bottle Crest Prohealth mouthwash
- 1 tube Crest ProHealth toothpaste
- 1 Neosporin paste (I neededthis already)
- 1 Specialized active wear bandages

Whew. The total out of pocket came to about $11, at least half of that was taxes I couldn't avoid. A few items I figure to sell for $6 or so, and keep the rest. Nice haul - I suppose I could do this more if I put the effort into it, but why get greedy?

    When I said I would sell them, I meant I would sell them at my next yard sale (maybe a month or two from now). Most things I can get at CVS, etc... usually sell well if I sell for 1/3 to 1/4 of store prices. I usually net a few hundred each year with my sale. It pays for most of my yard sale purchases for the rest of the year.

    I was curious on that, as well. It looks like you really know how to work those coupons and sales, and it leads to great savings for you... that was a really good haul for 11 bucks! not to mention that you have some insurance that you will be able to sell some of the stuff and get back another half of what you paid? Awesome...
