Actual CVS transaction on 6/16/09

First off, the sunglasses prices at CVS started at $10.99 and not $5.99 like the ad said. Liars.

Aveeno Positively Ageless lotion - $7.00
Aveeno Positively Ageless sunscreen with bonus lip care - $10.99
Aveeno Positively Ageless sunscreen with bonus lip care - $10.99
Purex 3-in-1 sheets - $6.99
5 4x6 prints - $1.45
Sunglasses - $10.99
Sunglasses - $10.99

Subtotal: $59.40
- $1 ECB
- $5 ECB
- $1 Purex coupon
- $4 CVS coupon
- $10 Aveeno coupon
Subtotal after coupons: $38.40
Tax: $2.97
Total out of pocket: $41.37

Including sale prices and coupons I saved $24.99 today.

I earned:
$2 ECB for Purex
$10 ECB for Aveeno
$10 ECB for sunglasses
$3 off of $15+ purchase

I've got the following in my stash:
$3 off of $15+
$3 off of $15+
$3 off Venus Embrace blades
$1 off Softsoap
$1 off Aveeno shave care

I am wondering if I should take the Aveeno Positively Ageless items and exchange them for regular Aveeno items that are cheaper. I also picked up some Aveeno $2 coupons when I was in CVS from their counter. I wonder if I can get more bang for my buck that way. I just looked on CVS.com and the regular Aveeno items start at $6 for the body wash and lotion. I could go back and get 2 lotions and 2 body washes but I'm afraid I won't end up using the body wash or the lotion. I plan on giving the lotion I bought today to my mom since she uses it. I could go back and get 2 lotions and give them to my mom and get 2 body washes and give them to my sister.

So let me work this scenario out.

Already purchased:
Aveeno Positively Ageless lotion - $7.00
Aveeno Positively Ageless sunscreen with bonus lip care - $10.99
Aveeno Positively Ageless sunscreen with bonus lip care - $10.99
- $10 Aveeno coupon
Total - $18.98

Tentative exchange:
2 Aveeno lotions - $12
2 Aveeno body wash - $12
- $2 coupon x 4 ($8)
Total - $16

Now, is it worth the $2.98 for me to go back over there and wait in line and burn up my lunch hour?
