Made another CVS trip yesterday and was pleased with the results – even though I missed out on a few deals (like the free Nivea Creme and free Glade Starter Kit) because my store was out of them. Considering the fact that I got everything pictured above for FREE, I’m okay with my results. 🙂

Here’s my deal scenario:

CVS Week of 3/3/15:

Buy (3) Puffs Cubes – $0.95 ea.
Buy (1) All Small & Mighty Pacs (24 ct) – $2.99
Buy (3) Hallmark Cards – $4.97 – Get $3 ECB’s

Use (1)$1.50/3 Puffs coupon from  5-3-15 PG
Use $1/1 All Laundry products coupon from 5-3-15 PG
Use 30% off deodorant purchase coupon from CVS printer
Use $1/1 Sure product coupon from 5-3-15 PG
Use $8.50 in ECB’s from last purchase
FREE after coupons, gift card and Ibotta rebate!

So in total, I spent $0.00 on $22.46 worth of products and I have $4 in ECB’s for next week’s trip!

I almost always check my receipts before I leave CVS. There have been several times that I’ve discovered a pricing error or a missing coupon and I’ve dealt with it before leaving the store.

Today I checked my receipt for a different reason, however – I couldn’t believe how little I paid! I had intended to just grab the toothpaste and Glade air fresheners, but the M&M’s called my name when I saw they had a coupon on them to save $1 off 2. So, of course, I had to buy them! So I didn’t really do the math before I got up to the counter – and I was pleasantly surprised when my total popped up.

Here’s my deal scenario:

CVS Week of 3/15:

Buy (2) M&M Eggs – $2.50 ea. – Get $1 ECB’s
Buy (2) Glade Sense & Spray – $5 ea. – Get $3 ECB’s
Buy (2) Colgate Toothpaste  – $2.99 ea. – Get $3 ECB’s
Use (1) $1.50 off $5 Glade purchase coupon from CVS printer
Use (2) $1/1 Colgate coupons
Use $1/2 M&M’s peelie coupon
Use (2) $3/1 Glade coupons from SS 3/8
Use $8 ECB’s
$2.51 after coupons and ECB’s!

So in total, I spent $2.51 on $39.37 worth of products and I have $7 in ECB’s for my next trip!

I had a new guy today at CVS. He was funny. He told me that if I really want to save money, I shouldn’t shop at CVS.  Hehe…that’s what he thinks. 😉

Then I worked up this deal:

Transaction #1: 

FYI – I kind of am not sure exactly what happened here. I had a couple of CVS coupons for the L’Oreal. At first, the $5 off $20 wouldn’t go through, so I tried the 10% off coupon. And then in the end, it appeared that both went through. Not sure if that should have happened.

Buy (2) L’Oreal Preference – $9.99 each – Get $5 ECB’s
Buy Colgate Total Toothpaste, $3.49 – Get $2 ECB’s
Use $5 off $15 purchase coupon from CVS email
Use $2/1 L’Oreal Preference from RP 1/11
Use $5/2 L’Oreal Preference from RP 1/11
Use $5 off $20 L’Oreal coupon from CVS coupon printer
Use 10% off L’Oreal coupon from CVS coupon printer
Use $3 in ECB’s from last week
$4.71 after coupons!

Transaction #2: 

Buy (3) Speed Stick @ $4 ea. – Get $6 in ECB’s
Use (3) $2/1 coupons
Use  $5 in ECB’s from previous transaction
$1.06 after coupons!

Just a heads up – there are actually some better coupons for the Speed Stick and the Colgate in the 1/18 SmartSource insert – that is if you picked up your paper from your driveway before it got completely drenched by ice and sleet – like me. 🙂

So in all, I spent just $5.77 for $40.50 worth of items and I have $8 in ECB’s for next trip!

I hit up some deals at CVS today and it felt good to be back! It’s been a few months since I’ve been able to get into any kind of coupon shopping groove with the holidays – can anyone else relate?

And to top it all off, they had a nice selection of Christmas gifts, decor and wrapping supplies marked 75% off. I had to hold myself back from buying stuff like singing Snoopy’s just because they were such a good price. 🙂

Yes – we still have our tree up. I’m sentimental like that. 🙂

But I grabbed some gift tags marked down to $0.75, the Sofia dress up activity kit for just $4.99 (for the gift closet!) and the Peppermint Bark for $2.49 (a Valentine’s gift – IF it survives that long!)

Here’s my deal scenario:

CVS Week of 1/4/15:

Buy (1) Sundown Adult Multivitamin Gummes – $7 (Get $3 ECB’s)
Buy (3) Gift Tags (8 ct.) – $0.75 ea.
Buy (1) Sofia Dress Up Activity Kit – $4.99
Buy Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark – $2.49
Use $3/1 Sundown Naturals coupon from RP 1/4
Use $6 in ECB’s (I had $4 and $2 printed as quarterly rewards)
$7.90 after coupons and ECB’s!

So in total, I spent $7.90 on $43.11 worth of products and I have $3 in ECB’s for next week’s trip!

Hair color and chocolate. That’s sounds like a winning combination.

Truth be told, I wish I only had to buy chocolate this week. But my roots disagreed with me.

So here are my deal scenarios at CVS this week:

CVS Shopping Trip Week of 9/21/14

Hi. Remember me? I’m the girl that used to share my CVS shopping trips regularly around here. Those were good times, weren’t they?

Have no fear. I have not been secretly shopping at CVS behind your back.  It’s just that Summer is a thing and it’s not conducive to couponing – am I right? And to top it all off, my local CVS went and changed their policy that they accept expired ECB’s!  This may seem like a fantastic thing (which it is), but it also leads to LONG lapses in between shopping trips when I know I don’t have to hurry in before my ECB’s expire.

That being said, I am BACK in the ball game. Bring on your deals, CVS. I am all over them.

So here is my trip this week:

Transaction #1: 

Buy (2) L’Oreal Advanced Hair Care, $4.50 each
Get $5 ECB’s wyb 2
Use (2) $2/1 L’Oreal printable
Use $5 ECB’s from previous trip
Pay $0.00 after coupons and ECB!

Transaction #2: 

Buy 6 Tide Detergent, $5.94 ea.
Buy $30 worth, Get $10 CVS Cash Card
Use (2) $2/2 Tide Detergent printable
Plus use $1/2 Tide Detergent from 8/31/14 P&G
Use $5 in ECB’s from previous transaction
Submit for $10 P&G Mail-In-Rebate
Pay $17.18 each after coupons, CVS cash card, and rebate!

So, I paid $17.18 for $67.85 worth of products.  Plus I have $10 in a gift card for my next trip.

CVS Shopping Trip Week of 6/8/14

It was a big day around here. It was my oldest son’s last day of 2nd grade! In fact, he only had school for two hours today, thus the big red shoes in the background of this picture. Summer has officially begun!

I broke one of my shopping rules and took all three kids to CVS with me today. In spite of that, the trip went fairly smoothly until the very last few minutes when my little guy was screaming for candy at the checkout. They sure know what they are doing putting those rows and rows of tempting candy bars and such at eye level for a two year old, don’t they? 🙂

That being said, I typically break my purchases up into more than one transaction so that I can pay less out of pocket by rolling over rewards. However, I opted to just do one transaction today so as not to subject the entire store to the ear piercing screams of my toddler.  Tell me I’m not the only one who’s had to do this…

So here is my transaction today. I can’t remember the last time I spent this much at CVS, but when you break it all down, it’s like paying about $3 per item, so still some great deals!

Not pictured: Gallon of milk.

Buy gallon of milk, $3.89
Buy (2) packs of Huggies Diapers, $18
Buy Physican’s Formula Concealer, $9.99
Buy Physician’s Formula Concealer, $4.99 (B1G1 50% off)
Buy Playtex tampons, $7.99 – Earn $3 in ECB’s
Buy Almay Finishing Powder, $13.49
Buy Almay Makeup Removier, $3.39 (B1G1 50% off)
Buy Post Honey Bunches of Oats, $2.49 – Earn $1 in ECB’s
Earn $10 Gas Gift Card for buying $30 participating items
Use $0.25 Ibotta Milk + $1 Teamwork bonus
Use (2) $4/1 Huggies coupons
Use $3/1 Physician’s Formula CVS coupon from coupon printer
Use $1/1 Playtex coupon
Use (2) $4/1 Almay coupons from SS 6/1
Use $3 off $15 Cosmetics purchase CVS coupon from coupon printer
Use $8.75 in ECB’s
Pay $31.68 after coupons and ECB’s and Ibotta rebate!

Once again, I realized that one of my $4 ECB’s did not come off – thankfully before I left the store. Make sure to check those receipts!

So, I paid $31.68 for $78.91 worth of products.  Plus I have $14 in a gift card and ECB’s for my next trip.
