CVS Haul + Extreme Couponing = 1 Happy Makeup Junkie

so i'm pretty sure everyone has seen the show "extreme couponing" on tlc, right? if not, check them out here. anywho! i was going through the circulars on sunday & saw that cvs was doing 40% off of all physician's formula makeup. FORTY PERCENT!! went to cvs on thursday, figured out its not in my budget at the moment. poo. however! fear not, my wonderous ladies... someone in a makeup group im in on facebook did a haul at cvs for PF & pretty much extreme coupon'd it! here's her blog: get thee to a cvs. in her blog she provided a coupon link for $5 any full-sized PF. [here] so top that coupon on the 40% off and you can be paying anywhere from nothing to a mean dollar and change! best part? the coupon has unlimited prints so if you plan on buying ten PFs, print 10 coupons!

so i went to cvs to grab some soda for the easter bbq i'm going to & picked up some PF. here's what i got:

top: bamboo wear bambuki brush
bottom l->r: plump potion in pink crystal potion, eyedefiner felt tip eye marker in ultra black, shimmer strips for brown eyes, & shimmer strips glam collection for brown eyes.

top -> bottom: shimmer strips glam collection for brown eyes & shimmer strips for brown eyes.

top -> bottom: eye definer felt tip eye marker in ultra black & plump potion in pink crystal potion

bamboo wear bambuki brush

 ok. so here's how the pricing goes before the 40% & my $5 off coupons {& without taxes, going off my receipt, i can't remember exactly how much they were listed for}.

» bambuki brush: $10.99 {i think thats what it said on the shelf}

» plump potion in pink crystal potion: $10.99

» eye definer felt tip eye marker: $8.27 {i think thats what it said on the shelf}

» shimmer strips for brown eyes: $10.99

» shimmer strips glam collection for brown eyes: $10.99

now here's what i paid:

» bambuki brush: $1.29

» plump potion in pink crystal potion: $1.47

» eye definer felt tip eye marker: FREE {money maker of 63cents}

» shimmer strips for brown eyes: $1.59

» shimmer strips glam collection for brown eyes: $1.59

 $5.31 + tax = $5.94

savings of $47.20!

my entire order was $44&change [BEFORE coupons but after the 40% PF discounts] & i brought it down to under $20

anyone else get in on this deal? whatcha get? whatcha spend? whatcha save?
