CVS Cheap Sunblock Scenario!

Right now CVS is doing there big Spring Sample Event. Every CVS store I have been into has a table in the front right now with samples. One of the samples being given away is CVS sublock. Attatched to the sunblock is 1.00 off coupons off of ANY CVS sublock. CVS has smaller (basically trial size) sunblocks for 2.19 or Lip Balm for 1.99 each. Well if you got 5 of the sunblocks or 6 lip balms (or mix and matched) you can get

6 lip balms for 1.99 each = 11.94
Use 6 coupons and total is 5.94
Even Better use that 3.00 off any CVS purchase form the scanner and that is 2.94 for 6 lip balms!

Or
5 CVS Sunblocks for 2.19 =10.96
Use 5 coupons and total is 5.96
Minus 3 dollar CVS coupon and it's 2.96 for 5 sunblocks!


The reason for going over is so you go over the ten dollar minimum for the CVS coupon. Also you also get the free Sample of Sunblock! A must deal for Arizonans!

Cheap Candy at CVS!

This week CVS has a deal that if you buy 10 dollars of specified candy, you can get 5 dollars in ECB's back. Now this is a great stock up sale and I have a great scenario.

There are CVS brands of candy on sale for .88 cents each (they are gummy bears, mints, fruit chews, laffy taffy etc). They are actually pictures on the front flap of the CVS ad. Now, some CVS stores have Printers/Scanners. Basically, you can scan your CVS card and it prints out coupons!! Unfortunately, only select stores have these but you could be lucky enough to have one by you!

Anyways, right now (at least at 35th ave and Peoria) the printer is printing out 3 dollars off any $10.00 CVS brand purchase.

So get 12 bags of those candies and it will come to a total of $10.56.
Use $3.00 off coupon and total comes down to $7.56.

After you pay and receive the $5.00 ECB's, it basically works out to 12 bags of candy for $2.56!!

I actually used my ECB from the Oral B Monthly Deal (6.99) so my total was only .57 cents!!! Plus I have the $5.00 to use on future purcahses!!

This is great for us with Tyler's birthday coming up. Plus at work I need sugar to make it through the day lol!

Monday Savings!!

The deals you see on the left are from Target and CVS. For all of those items to the left, I paid only $8.38! And I still have 7 dollars in ECB's left!!

In the first to the left, it was two transactions:

First Transaction:

2 Listerine Mouth Washes ~ Used 1.00 off coupons to make them 2.49 each and they gave back 3.49 in ECB's so I made 1 dollar on each!

2 Bandaids ~ $1.99 each and made `.99 each on ECB's!

1 Gum (not shown) .50 cents (regular 1.99)

Total Out of Pocket was $1.32 and $6.98 + $3.98 in ECBs Earned!

Second Transaction:

After coupons and ECbs I only paid....1 cent!!! and I still have 7 dollars to use in ECB's!

Second Pic:
What you are seeing here is a combination of CVS and Target deals.

Target:

The deodorants were .25 cents each after coupons for .75 cents off. Suave and Dove both have coupons out for .75 cents off, check out the trial size section because the coupon does not state you can't use it on those!

Butt Paste was Free after IP ~ Now I don't have diaper babies anymore but I figure this would be cute to put with a pack of diapers for a baby shower!

4 packs of Taco Seasoning ~ They were regular .75 cents and were on sale for .52 cents. Well I had coupons for .75 cents off of two so I used two coupons to get 4 packs making it .58 cents for four packs!

CVS Deals:

All was 90% off!
Adidas cologne (my husband LOVES this one) it was only .14 cents each and I believe I got 15

Neutregena Lotion was .87 cents (it still has the 8.79 sticker on in!)

Lotions were 10 cents each

and the French Manicure set was 59 cents!

Total out of pocket for everything in pic two was only $7.05!

Now don't think I am a store hog, some of the stuff I get, I accumulate to send over to the troops with my grandmother and aunt so not only am I benefiting, other people are as well!

Okay here is what I did today:

• 1 Venus Razor (reg 11.99 on sale for 9.99) ~ Right now they are printing out 3 dollars in ECB's, we have a coupon for 4 dollars off so it makes them 3 dollars, definately not as good as the Walgreens deal a couple weeks ago but I found a coupon and I didnt want it to expire lol. Plus I absolutely love this razor!

So after ECB's and coupons my total for everything including tax was $6.64 and I saved $61.24! That's a 90% savings!!!I event 9 more ECB's to spend ~ I love when they pay me to take their stuff!

Tuesday Deals ~ I saved over 100 bucks today!

Wow I had a really good deal day!

First check out my CVS deals.I used my husbands card today which had no ecb's but it had no purchaes yet either so I can start from scratch for the monthly deals. How much do you think I spent? I spent $8.95 all together AND I got $7.78 in CVS bucks back!

This was amazing, the hair color was 90 percent off and it equaled one dollar! I than had two coupons for the Loreal for 2.00 off one! So in a sense, they paid me to take the hair color. The printer ink was 1.00, the loreal lotion was 1.45, the tape was .10 cents each, the heal cushions were .49 cents, the candy bars were .10 cents (two are missing in the picture thanks to the kids) the citrucel was 1.13 and I had a dollar off coupon so it was only .13 cents. I than of course got the allergy meds and toothbrushes for the ECB's.

What you are seeing above is two transactions. For the ECB's I did

1st Transaction:
2 Allergy Meds for 3.79 each and then got the $7.58 back in ECB's.

Second transaction:

1 Toothbrush for 3.99 (3.99 in ECB's back)

1 Allergy Med for $3.79 (3.79 in ECB's back)
So all I paid was .22 cents and got the $7.48 back in ECB's.

So I guess you can say out of pocket I only paid a little over a dollar for all my goodies! Oh I also used a 3.00 off 15 coupon that I got thanks to Money Saving Mom! http://www.moneysavingmom.com/

At Albertsons I got the Mission Tortilla chips that were on sale. I got 4 bags for a total of .75 cents. Yes 4 big bags of tortilla chips equaled a total of .75 cents. I had 3 .75 cents off coupons and a dollar off any purchase catalina so it brought me down to only, .75 cents. WOOHOO!

I also went to Walgreens, they have great register rewards right now. I had a ten dollar off one from the P&G so I used that towards a venus razor and two bags of dove chocolate. So in total I paid 2 something for those three things and got a six dollar coupon to use on my next purchase. Not a bad day if I say so myself! So before the week ends, make sure you make it to CVS and Walgreens for their awesome deals!

Today I saved over 100 bucks and only spent around 10 dollars!

This months catalog is awesome! Freebies include Tums,Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Allergy Meds, Adidas Deodorant and the travel teeth care kit.

Here is my weekend shoppings:

My initial investment (because I lost my CVS bucks from last month) was $11.37 for the allergy meds. Now I didnt find out until after, that you can go by the Pharmacy dept to find the CVS magazine which includes a coupon for a dollar amount off of CVS items. I'll be using that for my husbands card.

Now with the $11.37 in CVS bucks for the allergy meds, I bought 2 Ice Breakers and 3 360 toothbrushes. I had one one dollar off coupon
I used the $11.37 in CVS Bucks and saved a total of $14.85
Out Of Pocket I paid ~ $2.70 In return I got $13.97 in CVS Bucks

With the $13.97 I bought 2 of the Tums Quick Packs, 1 Dawn and 2 Natural Instincts Hair Dye. Now the Dawn and Natural Instincts were not free however, I had gotten the dawn initially for a filler, didnt have enough so I got the natural insticts (printed out a $1.00 CVS buck as well). I had a coupon for the Dawn (.25 cents off) so it was .88 cents minus .25 cents so it was .63 cents. A little more than I like to pay for dish soap but I was running low. Now I did have a coupon for BOGO for the hair dye(which I did need) so it ended up being two boxes for $4.99 total.
So here we go:
$13.97 in ECBs
.25 cent coupon
5.99 coupon for free hair dye which in turn equals
$2.70 Out of Pocket and saved $29.92
In return I got $9.38 in CVS Bucks

Last transaction I purchased 3 of the Aquafresh Extremes. I missed the coupon dates on these and I couldnt print any so I didnt maximize my savings unfortunately. But free is free so I am happy with that. I also purchased a .50 cent candy for a filler.
$9.38 in CVS Bucks
Total Out of pocket ~ .9 cents and total savings was $11.17
In Return I got $8.97 in CVS Bucks

The only free thing I have been unable to find is the Adidas Deodorant, I am still on the hunt for it!

So Out of Pocket I paid for everything in that picture above
$11.37
$2.70
$2.70 ( I have no idea how I got that same amount two different times! )
$.09
TOTAL: $16.86
SAVINGS: $57.44!

I still have CVS bucks to keep on spending!

Now I could do better by spending nothing out of pocket but I got stuff I needed and remember if you got coupons, use em! Oh and don't lose your cvs bucks! LOL
