CVS 5/17 – Paid $0.00 on $8.72 of Merchandise (100% Saved)

May 17, 2012 By 15 Comments

Today was a great day for me at CVS. I stopped in quickly to redeem my free body wash coupon because it won’t be valid by the time I return from my trip, plus I decided to use the remainder of my free Good ‘n Natural bar coupons from the 5/6 Red Plum newspaper insert. Normally I would hold these until the expiration date to see if we could get an ECB or RR deal, but I needed some healthier snack options for my trip. (I’m packing a bunch of Larabars too that I bought recently at Vitacost with some Refer-a-Friend credits.)

Anyways, here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used:

ONE CVS ESCAPE BODY WASH, regular price $2.37
Used one FREE CVS Body Wash coupon from Minute Clinic printable -no longer available
NET PRICE: FREE!
Note: This coupon actually deducted $3, but I forgot that it was doing that and I wasn’t prepared for it, so instead of getting the overage it just made them adjust it at the end because my balance would’ve went below zero. Ooops mistake on my part!

FIVE GOOD ‘N NATURAL BARS, regular price $1.27
Used five FREE Good ‘n Natural Bar coupons, 5/6 RP newspaper insert
NET PRICE FOR ALL: FREE!

Total Retail Value of All Merchandise: $8.72
Net Price Paid for Everything: $0.00
Savings Rate: 100%

By the way, is it just me or does that picture of the body wash look like a glass of beer?

Here’s how:

CVS Shopping Scenario for Beginners 5/13-5/19

May 13, 2012 By 3 Comments

As I mentioned in an earlier post, this is not a particularly good week at CVS. And I don’t really have a good low out-of-pocket scenario, because the best deals are the ones with a $10 ECB. If you did last week’s scenario, you finished with $0.75 in ECBs to use on this week’s ad.

Although the out-of-pocket is much higher this week, these are the best deals in my opinion. If you don’t need any of these products, I’d consider skipping CVS this week. Here goes…

TRANSACTION #1
BUY THREE FINISH DETERGENT, on sale $3.50 each
BUY TWO LYSOL DISINFECTANT SPRAY, on sale $5 each
Get $10 Extra Care Bucks when you buy $20 of select household items (select Finish/Lysol included)

Use two FREE Playtex 20 ct when you buy Playtex 36-50 ct, 3/18 SS newspaper insert (exp 5/13!!)
and use the $3/1 Playtex 36 ct coupon, CVS Red Coupon Machine (week of 5/6-5/12) if you received it
and use your $10 ECB from Transaction #1
Price at Register: $2.98-$5.98 (depending on whether you have the CVS coupon), but receive $10 Extra Care Bucks

Use one $1/3 Keebler Products printable coupon (zip 33712)
and use two $0.75/1 Softsoap coupons, 4/15 SS newspaper insert (exp 5/13!)
and use one $1/3 VO5 coupons, 5/13 SS newspaper insert
and use three $0.50/1 Gain Dish Soap, 5/13 P&G newspaper insert
and use the $1.50 off any Shampoo CVS coupon, CVS Red Coupon Machine (week of 5/6-5/12) if you received it
and use your $10 ECB leftover from Transaction #2
Price at Register: $0.17-$1.67 (depending on whether or not your received the CVS shampoo coupon last week) and get $5 Extra Care Bucks back

There are some other decent deals at CVS this week. You may want to take a look at the full list here and adjust your scenario accordingly.

What’s FREE (or almost free) at CVS 5/13-5/19

May 12, 2012 By 4 Comments

Sometimes additional deals surface after this post is written. Click here to view the most recent posts about CVS.

This is a pretty weak week to shop at CVS starting 5/13/12. There are some decent cheap deals, but we have no freebies or moneymakers. Pretty sad if you ask me. Anyways, here are the best deals as I see them.

If so, you have an even better deal!

CHEAP FINISH DETERGENT AND/OR LYSOL DISINFECTANT SPRAY – There will be a $10 Extra Care Bucks reward printing when you buy $20 of these items. Finish will be on sale 2/$7 and there was a $0.75/1 coupon in the 4/22 SS newspaper insert.

There was a $1/1 coupon in the 4/1 RP newspaper insert plus there’s a $1/1 printable coupon available here. Net price is going to be about $5.49 when you buy two and use two coupons (or $2.74 each!)

Aquafresh Travel Size at least FREE, but possible $2 MONEYMAKER at CVS!

May 11, 2012 By

We have an awesome development that should net you FREE or MONEYMAKER toothpaste at CVS. I’ve noticed lately that as long as you have something to consume the overage, CVS store coupons will still deduct from your order’s total in most cases. (Manufacturer coupons still beep and get adjusted down.)

Anyways, we have a great new printable CVS store coupon for $1/1 ANY GSK Oral Care Brand Purchase (no size restrictions!) One of GSK’s brands is Aquafresh and we have a $1/1 printable manufacturer coupon for the Aquafresh Extreme Clean Toothpaste (no size restrictions either!)

One of the easiest freebie (and possible moneymaker) scenarios is on the Aquafresh Extreme Clean Travel Size Toothpaste. Here’s your scenario:

BUY TWO AQUAFRESH EXTREME CLEAN TRAVEL SIZE TOOTHPASTE, regular price $1.27 (and one sale BOGO 50% OFF)
Total before coupons = $1.91
Use two $1/1 Aquafresh Extreme Clean Toothpaste printables (no size restrictions – second coupon will need to be adjusted to 91 cents)
and use two $1/1 ANY GSK Oral Care Item CVS printable (no size restrictions)
NET PRICE: FREE (OR $2 MONEYMAKER!)

Note: If they won’t take the store coupons because the items are already free (it may depend on your cashier), take your two $1/1 GSK coupons and pick two more travel size toothpastes for free! So it will either be four for free or two for free with $2 profit.

There is also an ECB deal for $5 Extra Care Bucks when you buy $15 of participating oral care products. These coupons will work very well with this deal too if you have enough computers to hit the $15 mark. There’s also a $5/$10 Glaxo coupon in the Spring issue of Reinventing Beauty magazine.

Thanks to Hip2Save for the tips on the great coupons.

CVS Pantene deal gets better? Watch for a $1/2 ANY Shampoo, Conditioner or Styler coupon from the CVS Red Coupon Machine!

May 9, 2012 By

Carolyn emailed me to let me know that she got a $1/2 ANY Shampoo, Conditioner or Styler coupon from the CVS Red Coupon Machine. If you received the same, you have a great deal on Pantene this week. Here’s the scenario:

BUY TWO PANTENE PRO-V SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER OR STYLER, on sale 2/$6.97
Get $1 Extra Care Bucks when you buy two select Pantene
Use one BOGO Pantene manufacurer coupon, 4/29 P&G newspaper insert (deducts $3.48 or $3.49)
and use one $1/2 ANY Shampoo, Conditioner or Styler, CVS Red Coupon Machine
Price at Register: $2.48 or $2.49, but receive $1 Extra Care Bucks
NET PRICE FOR ALL: $1.48 or $1.49 (or 74 cents each!)

NOTE: I did not receive this coupon from the machine myself, so this coupon is not printing for everybody this week.
