I have so much to catch up on, but I thought that while it all is still fresh in my mind I’d write about the killer CVS deals I got this week! I did not go last week. The only thing that was tempting was the Intuition razor that was on sale (not even that great a deal), because I wanted to get one to pack for vacation in 12 days (yay!). But I never got around to it and it’s just as well — at Sam’s on Sunday they were giving them away! Obviously they want you to buy the refills, but this will suit me just fine for my needs.
Anyway, on to CVS. I am getting the hang of this for sure, and I found out that my two local CVSs allow me to stack $/$$ coupons, so that really works out in my favor. Basically their policy is that as long as the computer allows them to go through they will accept them. Last night’s haul:
2 Tide detergent @ $4.99 each
1 Bounty paper towels 8-pack @ $6.49
2 Puffs Plus tisse @ $.99 each
2 Soy Joy @ $1 each
2 CVS toothbrush @ $2.99 each
2 M&M packages $3.49 (B1G1)
Used:
$5/30 CVS coupon
$4/20 CVS coupon
$1 off Bounty coupon
B1G1 Soy Joy coupon ($1)
Applied $8 in ECB
Total w/ tax: $13.95
Got back $13.98 in ECB
Wahoo! Three cents profit, LOL!
According to the reciept, my savings was $34.57
Then, I went back today. Yesterday I had to get prices on a couple items so I could figure out my best shopping scenario:
1 Bic Soleil razor @ $6.29
1 Bic Soleil razor @ $3.14 (B1, G1 50% off)
2 M&M packages @ $3.49 (B1G1)
1 Maybelline lipstick @ $6.691 Maybelline Great Lash mascara – free (B1G1)
1 Soy Joy @ $1 (had to buy 4 to get my ECBs)
Used
$4/$20 CVS coupon
$3/$15 CVS coupon
$2/$10 CVS coupon
$2 off Maybelline lip product coupon
(2) $2 off Bic Soleil razor coupons
Applied $5.98 in ECB
My total should have been $.37 but for some reason the register decided to zero it out for me and the cashier was happy to oblige, so I payed nothing out of pocket and got back $7 in ECBs. According to the reciept, my savings was $32.70. The only bummer is that I bought the wrong color lipstick! Noah was starting to get really unhappy while I was picking out a color so I took one from a display without check the actual product and of course it is not the color I thought it was, but I am sure I can find someone who will want it.
Obviously I’m super pleased with the deals this week. I may or may not go back for the Speed Stick deorderant. It’s not a brand Drew usually uses, but it is free… I guess I’ll see if I have the time. I’m telling you, this CVS shopping is addicting, LOL!
I really wish there was a CVS closer to me…
The closest CVS is 15 minutes from us…..I try to go when they have a big sale, but it doesn’t always work out. You save mega bucks!
Carol – if you don’t like the lipstick you can exchange it for a different one. I do it all the time at both CVS/Walgreens. Just make sure you have the receipt. Makes buying makeup so much easier!
Wow, you did well.. I live in the Town of Pok and I can’t stack coupons anymore.. They said they won’t allow it b/c of corp. I usually use one coupon and buy things that only have ECB’s back.
Fantastic job!
Great job. I know exactly what you mean about it being addicting. It is so much fun to walk out of there with bags of stuff and know you didn’t have to pay for them. The cashier at my CVS said that if your ECB is more than your total and they adjust it down for you them the total beomes $0, you don’t even have to pay tax. Cool stuff.
