CVS Shopping 4/26-4/27

Last night I thought I was being absolutely brilliant ;)  I had to work until 9:30 so I got my CVS scenario all planned out and thought it would be perfect - I could shoot over to CVS after work and do the Avatar deal for Mike.  Since I knew both of our stores sell out of things super-fast I didn't want to wait until this morning to do the deal.  Boy, was I wrong.  Luckily, though, I had printed out some back-up coupons just in case they were out of the items I initially wanted to buy.  Here is what I purchased:

Oh, I also had a $5/$40 coupon that spit out at the magic machine so my total needed to be at least that.

Irish Spring $2.99, get $2

used $1 Irish Spring coupon (CVS reinventing beauty mag)

Softsoap $2.99, get $2

used $1 Softsoap coupon (CVS reinventing beauty mag)

Earinse $7.99, get $7.99 (raincheck item)

2 All detergents 2/$7

used (2) $1 All coupons (CVS re-beauty mag)

4 Chips Ahoy $1 each

used (2) $1/2 coupons

6 boxes asst. General Mills cereals $2.44 each

used (2) $1/2 coupons

used $.75 coupon

used $.55 coupon

Avatar movie $4.99 wyb $25 (actually $24.75) in qualifying products

used $5/$40 CVS coupon

used $8.48 ECBs

=$22.17 OOP, received $12 ECBs

Not a bad deal when you consider what I all got BUT it could have been even better if they had had the Fig Newtons for $1 (had 4-$1 coupons) and Chocolate Cheerios (had 2-$1 coupons).

This morning after Noah & I went to the chiropractor I stopped at the other CVS in town.  Of course they had both the Fig Newtons and Cheerios in stock along with all the other stuff needed to do the Avatar deal - LOL.  That'll teach me!!

Irish Spring $2.99, get $2

used $1 Irish Spring coupon

Softsoap $2.99, get $2

used $1 coupon

2 pkgs. Fig Newtons $1 each

used (2) $1 coupons

Pampers diapers $8.49, get $1

used $1.50 coupon

used $3 CVS coupon (found HERE)

4 Vitamin waters $1 each

used (2) $1/2 coupons

2 CVS sunscreens $2.19 each, get $5

used $10 ECBs

=$5.56 OOP, received $10 ECBs

In order to print the Pampers coupons you'll need to register for the online version of the Parents magazine.  The coupon probably won't scan at the store but if they manually type in the bar code number it works just fine.  Can't beat getting diapers for only $3!!

CVS 4/17

I made a run to CVS Saturday night - I was hoping to capitalize on the overlapping deals and use some CRTs that I had received there.  Here is what I got:
2 CVS single roll toilet paper 2/$1
used $1 CVS paper product CRT
6 Vitamin waters $1 each
used (3) $1/2 Vitamin water coupons
CVS mens body wash $.99
used $1 CVS body product CRT
2 Thermacare products $2.49 each, get $2.49
2 Revlon lipsticks BOGO 50% off and get $3 wyb $10
used (2) $3 Revlon coupons
used $5/2 Revlon lip product CRT
A&D diaper cream $6.49
used $1 A&D coupon
used $5 A&D CRT
used $5/$30 CVS coupon
used $7 ECBs
=$2.33 OOP, received $7.98 ECBs

Because the Revlon deal was overlapping the $3 ECB had to be manually printed out.  Thank goodness there were great cashiers working that night since they knew what to do!  I had not even realized that the Revlon was on sale this past week so I really scored on the lipstick!!  I paid $7.99 for one and $3.99 for the second so after the coupons and ECB I got two tubes of lipstick for a profit of $2.02 - can't beat a deal like that!!

This week's sales aren't all that exciting.  I will probably do the Thermacare on my other card and use up some more CRTs.  I have some for Huggies wipes that should make them pretty inexpensive.  Any great deals that you saw at CVS?  Let me know!

CVS 4/5

My Mom & I made a run to CVS last night.  We had each received a $5/$30 coupon that we wanted to use.  We had a couple things on our lists to buy but they didn't add up to the $30.  We were hoping to find some deals once we got to the store.  I think both of us found some great deals.  Here are mine:

4 Veet spray on $2.25 each (clearance!!)
used (4) $3 Veet coupons (CVS coupon insert)
Colgate toothpaste $2.99, get $2
used $.75 Colgate coupon
2 Pantene products $2.99 each, get $1 each
used $3/2 Pantene coupon
Stride gum $.99, get $.99
used $.50 Stride coupon
3 Dawn dishsoaps $.96 each
used (3) $.50 Dawn coupons
Complete contact solution $8.99, get $8.99
2 packs of CVS batteries $6.49 each, BOGO free
used $5/$30 CVS coupon
used $10 ECBs
= $9.51 OOP, received $13.98 ECBs

Even though I did have a pretty high OOP I still think I did well.  I picked up batteries (which we were out of!!).  I have been hunting for the clearanced Pampers.  I've heard reports that some CVS stores has them as low as $1.75 - has anyone found them?  One of the CVS stores had them for $8.75 but I would like to pay less than $3/pack after coupons.

CVS 4/3

Sorry for my lack of posting last week.  We took a four day trip to Red Lodge, MT with my parents and brother.  We left Noah in ND with his Great Aunts, Great Grandma and Grandma who all proceeded to spoil him :)  Logan went with and got to go skiing for the first time - he was a natural and had a blast!!  When we got back I managed to max out the Pampers deals on my cards at CVS and this past week I did the Huggies deal too.  I'm starting to stock-up on the diapers for when the twins arrive.  Saturday night my Mom & I ran to CVS (she was nice enough to do the Huggies deal for me too).  Here is what I got:

2 Sweetarts candies 2/$1 (for Easter baskets)

Kashi heart to heart cereal $3

used FREE coupon from VocalPoint

2 Frappucino drinks

used (2) $1 IP coupons

Colgate Total toothpaste $2.99, get $2

used $1 Colgate coupon (April All You)

Complete contact solution $8.99, get $8.99

2 Pantene products $2.99 each, get $1

used $3/2 Pantene coupon

Stride gum $.99, get $.99

used $.50 Stride coupon

used $5/$25 CVS coupon

used $10 ECBs

=$3.43 OOP, received $13.98 ECBs

I'm hoping to buy some more of the Pantene/Head & Shoulders this week and some of the other free after ECBs deals going on.  Unfortunately, I don't have any $/$$ CVS coupons so they most likely will not be big money makers.

I am hoping to do a garage sale sometime in May and will be selling some of my stockpile at that time.
