100% Savings at CVS

I didn't have time to shop much last week, so I decided to hit CVS late on Saturday and take advantage of the ad overlap that happens at the end of the week.  I got 24 items and only paid the tax of $2.32.  I also came home with $7 in ECBs for next time.  It was my best shopping trip to date, made even more significant because I added one item not on my list and I had all three kids with me to help celebrate once we got back to the van.  (I actually cheered out loud in excitement once we closed the doors!)   Here's what we bought:

6 Chex Mix @ $1.00 each
2 All Free & Clear detergent @ $3.99 each
2 Pantene Shampoo @ 2/$6.97
4 Starburst @ 2/$3.00
2 Skittles @ 2/$3.00
1 RevitaLens Solution @ $8.99
1 Carefree Liner @ $1.00
2 Air Delight @ $0.99 each
2 Skintimate Shave Cream @ $1.99 each
2 Suave Deodorant @ $0.99 each
1 Jr Pretzel and Cheese Snack @ $1.00
Total before tax, coupons and ECBs = $79.26

I used:
1 x $10/$50 purchase CVS coupon from the coupon scanner that had expired 8/17 but was still honored
6 x $0.50/1 printable coupons for the Chex Mix
2 x $1.00/1 coupon for the All detergent from the 8/28/2011 RP Insert (exp 10/9/2011)
2 x FREE Pantene coupons I got from doing Couponing to Disney's 5 A Day
3 x B1G1 Starburst coupons from the CVS coupon machine
3 x $1/1 Starburst or Skittles printable (no longer available)
1 x $3.00/1 Revita Lens from the 8/28/2011 SS Insert (exp 10/3/2011)
1 x $0.50/1 Carefree coupon from the 8/21/2011 SS Insert (exp 10/31/2011)
1 x B1G1 Hershey's Chocolate Bars 8/28/2011 SS Insert (exp 10/9/2011)
2 x $1/1 Skintimate Shave Cream printable CVS coupon
2 x $1/1 Skintimate Moisturizing Cream Shave 7/24/2011 SS Insert (exp 9/10/2011)
2 x $0.75/1 Suave Deodorant 8/14/2011 RP Insert (exp 9/11/2011)
1 x $8.00 ECB from a previous trip
1 x $3.00 ECB from a previous trip
1 x $1.00 ECB from a previous trip, which adjusted down to $0.41 because I had already reached $0.  If I had realized this, I would have saved it for a future purchase since I got less than half it's value.
(There was also a $2.51 "CVS Mfr Coupon" on my receipt that I can't figure out, but I'll glady take the extra savings)

Subtotal = $0.00
Tax = $2.32
ECBs earned for a future trip = $6.99
$4 for the Revita Lens
$1 for the Pantene (making it a $1 money maker)
$1 for the Carefree liners (making it a $0.50 money maker)
$0.99 for the Air Delight
