01/13/09 - CVS - Christmas at 90% off! - Saved $85.92

I decided to stop into my local CVS to see what was left of their Christmas inventory since the sign said they were 90% off. There was more left than I had anticipated so I got some good deals:

- White Tissue Paper (90 sheets per pack):
Originally $3.99 per pack
On clearance for $0.39 per pack
I bought 10 packs for $3.90 (900 total sheets of tissue paper)

- Red and Green Tissue Paper (20 sheets per pack):
Originally $1.99 per pack
On clearance for $0.19 per pack
I bought 5 packs for $0.95 (100 total sheets of tissue paper)

- Gift Card Holders:
Originally $1.29 each
On clearance for $0.13 each
I bought 2 for $0.26

- Frame Ornaments:
Originally $5.99 each
On clearance for $0.59 each
I bought 2 for $1.18

The subtotal was $6.29. Then, I used $5.00 of my Extra Care Bucks, which made my new subtotal $1.29! Not bad for all of that! Remember, I'll be using the tissue paper all year long for birthdays, anniversaries, and to make crafts so it was a good investment for me.

Tip: Keep an eye out for really good clearance sales 2-3 weeks after the holidays. Many stores have their Christmas items at 75% to 90% off right now to make room for Valentine's Day displays!
