This past weekend's $54.89 shopping trip

Well, I'm feeling pretty good about my first shopping trip after baby!
The first picture is CVS and the second picture is Publix.
I spent more out of pocket at CVS than usual b/c I started with a $10 ECB so I had to work my purchases around that. It is always easier to work around smaller ECB's but I am still happy with what I got. I will break down my transactions below.

CVS transaction #1
1 Bayer Breeze glucometer- $14.99
1 Dove bar 6 pack- $7.00
3 Dove shine therapy conditioners- $4.99 each
- $5/$30 purchase coupon I received in e-mail
- 3- $1/1 coupons for Dove hair
- $14.99 coupon for glucometer
- $10.00 ECB
total oop $5.30
earned $10 ECB for Dove purchases, and $5 ECB for glucometer

CVS transaction #2
3 Edy's ice cream- $3.50 each
1 Tone bar soap 2-pack - $1.88
- $1/1 Tone coupon
- 3 $1/1 Edy's ice cream coupons
- $5.00 ECB
total oop $3.83
earned $5 ECB for Edy's, and $1 ECB for Tone

Summary-
Spent $9.13 oop and have $16 ECB's to spend next trip
Glucometer- made $5 profit
Dove 6-pack and Dove conditioners- spent $3.97 + tax total (Very excited about the soap and hair products since I can only use Dove soap due to sensitivities and I received a sample of the Dove shine therapy shampoo and conditioner in the mail a few months ago and really liked it. I do however have to take back one of the conditioners to switch for a shampoo since I accidentally got 3 conditioners.)
Edy's ice creams- $1.25 each
Tone soap- $.37 profit

Total spent at Publix $45.76.
