My CVS Trip ~ $85.50 Worth of Products for $3!

I honestly tried to go to Walgreens this week and did not find anything. No tags were up and it looked like they were short staffed so I just left. The deals are a little slow right now because of Black Friday. Hopefully things will go back to normal soon. This is my CVS trip (I go to the CVS on Hulen and Risinger!) I love Finish products, I really do. I used to use Cascade.. but no more my friends! There is a huge difference! The Finish Quantum is like the Lexus of all Dishwashing products out there, and the Finish Powerpacks or gelpacks are like the Toyotas.. get it?! So, if you get these deals you will be paying $0.10 per quantum load, and $0.06 per powerpack load. AWESOME! I use the Quantum on special occasions, such as the upcoming holidays. If you are one of those people (like me) who eats really fast so you can stand by the sink and collect plates just so you can pre-rinse... relax! The Quantum will do this for you.. I will gladly pay the extra 4 cents!

Since this was a 3 Transaction deal, I am going to break it down for you: 

**Note that I started with a $10 Gift Card from Last week, and a $5/20 from my e-mail**

*Also note that you need a large quantity (10) in order for this deal to work, so go to your CVS (Don't just call!), or mine on Hulen and Risinger, and actually TALK to the manager and ask if he/she can order it for you, but hurry! Last day to do this is Wednesday BEFORE 11:00a.m!)*
