I made a lunchtime trip to CVS yesterday, to check on the Valentine’s Day candy clearance, and by 1pm the shelves were pretty much bare. I did manage to get a couple of items, and since I was already there, I decided to get a couple of sale items and use my remaining Speed Stick coupons. Everything you see above would have normally cost me over $86, but I only paid a little over $8. That’s a savings of 91%. Here’s how I did it:
