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.

    Thanks for clarifying. I was just curious! Smile
