Shopping Trips

I shopped at CVS Sunday evening and picked up some great buys by stacking manufacturer’s coupons, store coupons, and cashback offers.  Too bad the M&M ibotta rebate disappeared early, but it’s still a great deal.

As always, cashback offers vary (in value and kind) by account.  Some cashback offers and printable coupons I used may no longer be available when you read this post.

I had a decent trip to CVS on Sunday with my mother’s card (she got the good CVS coupons this week and had not used her Dial SavingStar offers that expired Sunday).  I had hoped the Kleenex Cool Touch cubes would be included in the $0.99 sale price, but they were not.  I scanned one and the price was $2.79.  Ouch!  I also asked a cashier to check the Garnier Whole Blends to see if the $2/2 CVS instant coupon for Garnier Fructis would apply, but it did not, so I am holding my $4/2 Garnier Whole Blends coupon and matching SavingStar offer for Walgreens next week.

As always, cashback offers vary (in kind and value) by account.  Some cashback offers may no longer be available to activate and some printable coupons may no longer be available to print when you read this post.

March 6 Update: I received $2 from SavingStar for the CoverGirl, so I am adding that in.  I didn’t know which “select” CoverGirl products would qualify, so I wasn’t count on getting it for the cheap brow pencils.

I wasn’t too excited about this week’s CVS ad, but it turned out to be a good week for me due to new printable coupons, new SavingStar offers, and good CVS coupons.  I had hoped to find some of the new Right Guard Best Dressed varieties because they are pictured in the ad and we have a SavingStar offer and printable coupon, but I checked two stores, and neither had them on the shelf or on a display that I could find.  If you shop later in the week and want them, be sure to look on the shelf and for a stand-alone display because sometimes new products are off to the side.  These Best Dressed Right Guard varieties are new products, so either the stores I checked haven’t received any yet or haven’t had a chance to put them on the floor.  I ended up getting a Got2b product as a substitute for the Right Guard for the $7 Extrabucks when you spend $20 Henkel promotion. FYI – You will want to print this $2/1 Right Guard Best Dressed coupon and take it with you just in case you find them in stock: $2/1 Right Guard Best Dressed Collection Antiperspirant or Deodorant printable coupon (preclipped)

I did not receive any %-off coupons, so I can’t confirm that those are still applying to the balance after all manufacturer coupons, CVS coupons, and Extrabucks have been deducted.  That is how it worked last week for me.  I am hoping it’s a glitch that CVS will fix instead of a deliberate change,  but I am prepared for it to be permanent.

I had a great trip to CVS on Sunday evening.  I shopped Sunday because I wanted to use my $3/1 Rimmel Eye coupons before they expired, but as it turns out, I didn’t need to rush because we have a new $3/1 Rimmel Eye available today!  I did not get any Hershey’s Gold bars, which are BOGO this week and will be free for those who still have any BOGO printable coupons (no longer available) because the two stores I checked were out.  I skipped the CoverGirl deal because I did not get the CoverGirl coupons in my 1/7 inserts.   Be sure to check this week’s CVS Free or Almost Free post HERE to see other deals.

I did not receive any emailed coupons, nor did I get a $/$$ at the end of my receipt.  However, I didn’t shop at CVS last week, so I had all my Red Coupon Machine coupons from last week and this week to use for my trip on Sunday.

As always, cashback offers vary (in kind and value) by account.  I used some cashback offers that may no longer be available to activate and some printable coupons that may no longer be available to print by the time you shop.

So I went to CVS yesterday and it didn’t go quite as planned.  I had the following CVS coupons that the register didn’t apply. 🙁

• $7/2 Garnier Cleansing
• 20% off L’OREAL Cosmetics, Facial, Hair Color, Hair Care
• $4/$18 Shampoo, Conditioner or Hair Styling

I’m not quite sure how the % off would have stacked, but there is at least $11 that didn’t get to apply to the trip.  In addition, the print ad was right and the limit was $8 on the L’Oreal deal instead of a limit of 8.

So the CVS I went to today was out of a few items and hadn’t gotten a few items in, so I wasn’t able to do all the deals I wanted to do today.  I may swing back by tomorrow and see if I can do the rest or at least get a raincheck on some of those freebies/moneymakers.  You should have seen me scouring some of those shelves two or three times to see if I had maybe missed one of the items somewhere.  You would have laughed.  But fortunately I was able to find enough to get my pre-coupon total to $25.70, which qualified me to use the $5/$25.  (I would have started heading to other CVSes if I couldn’t reach it!)  Overall though, I’m a happy camper!

Just an FYI, I include my Beauty Club Extra Bucks on transactions I redeem them, (like this one) because I never think to count them on transactions that I earn them on.  And as long as I don’t count them twice, it all comes out in the wash, as they say.

So here’s what I got at CVS:

I know you are all impressed with this first one.  Usually a Snickers bar isn’t going to survive long enough to make it into the photo! 😉
