CVS: Me? Clean?

Besides my Walgreens trip, I also made a trip to CVS today. I was most interested in this deal: Buy $10 in Cascade, Mr. Clean, or Swiffer products, receive $3 ECB.

Now I am not much of a clean freak, so I am rarely running out of cleaning supplies, and thus I don't buy all that much. Years ago, I bought a gallon jug of concentrated spray cleaner from a warehouse club, and I haven't needed to buy any kind of spray cleaner since. But I love those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, so I decided to get this deal.

I also got two antiperspirants, a tube of Colgate that was a moneymaker (I don't use Colgate, so it will be donated), and some feminine pads I found at the clearance shelf - they're normally $4.99, but they were on clearance for $1.25.  I ended up paying $13.97 out of pocket - much more than usual - partly because I only had one 74¢ ECB on hand.  But now I have almost $8 in ECB, so my out of pocket costs next week should be a lot less.

Here's the details:

1 Cascade Action Packs @ $4.00 (originally $6.49)
- $1 off Cascade coupon from the P&G Everyday Savings mailer
