CVS 6/19

I made a quick run to CVS today to get some of the free items and to continue stocking up on drinks for Logan and his friends for the summer.  Here is what I scored:

5 Powerade drinks $5/5, get $2 wyb 5
used $1/5 Powerade coupon
LA Looks gel $2.99, get $2
2 Colgates $2.79 each, get $2 each
Powerbar energy bites $2.49, get $2.49

Spiderman car for Noah $6.29
used $5/$20 CVS coupon
used $19.99 in ecb's
=$3.90 OOP, received $14.48 in ecb's

I did end up losing some ECB's but since Logan got a slinky the last time we went to CVS it was Noah's turn to get something.  He had wanted a 5 pack of Matchbox cars for $9.29 but once I showed him the Spiderman car he was happy with that :)

Have I mentioned lately how much I love the $/$$ coupons!  They make a HUGE difference and definitely help me build up my ECBs!!

"Are you going to Extreme Coupon it?" she asked.

That's what the cashier asked when I began to check-out at Target tonight :)  I had a wonderful trip there - by far the best shopping trip that I've had there in a long, long time.  I actually MADE money there!!  Here is what I got:

Pacifiers for Xander $3.99
Pacifiers for Oliver $4.29
3 packs of socks $10 (will be returning 2 packs - I'll explain)
Pampers $8.99, get $5 gift card wyb 3 Huggies or Pampers
used $1.50 Pampers coupon
used $1 Pampers Target coupon
2 packs Huggies $8.99
used (2) $2 Huggies coupons
3 John Freida shampoos, get $5 gift card wyb 3
used (3) $5 JF coupons
used $3/2 JF Target coupon
3 John Freida conditioners, get $5 gift card wyb 3
used (3) $5 JF coupons
used $3/2 JF Target coupon
used $3/2 JF Target coupon
used $5 gift card
used $50 purchase coupon (receive $5 gift card when you spend $50)
=$16.76 OOP, received $20 in gift cards!!  $3.24 moneymaker!

I had not intended to buy the socks but they were on an endcap that had them clearanced to $2/3 pack but when I got home I noticed that two of the packs rang up at $4.  I'll return the two that were regularly priced and get two more of the clearanced packs.  Have I confused you?  It's late and I think I've confused myself.

Ok, onto my next purchase.

I ran to CVS after my great trip to Target.  As I walked through the door the cashier reminded me that they closed in 7 minutes.  I had my list so I wasn't too worried.  Here is what I purchased:

5 Powerades 5/$5, get $2 wyb 5
Huggies diapers $8.99, get $2
used $2 Huggies coupon
3 Motrin PM $4 each, get $3 each
used (3) $1 Motrin PM coupons
Zyrtec $5.99, get $5.99
used $2 Zyrtec coupon
used $5/$20 CVS coupon
used $5 in ECBs
=$16.60 OOP, received $18.99 in ECBs

If I'd have split this up into a couple of different transactions by OOP would have been much lower but since I only had 7 minutes I decided to do them all together.  I did manage to build my ECBs by almost $14 so I can't complain about that!

Building Those ECB's

I ran to CVS after work last night and scored on some stuff.  It was pretty much a given that they would be out of the mouthwash and toothbrushes (yes, I got rainchecks!) so luckily I had a back-up plan.  Here is what I got:

5 Fuze drinks $5/5, get $2 wyb 5
Ban deodorant $2.99, get $2
Huggies diapers $8.99, get $2
used $2 Huggies coupon
Preparation H wipes $3.99, get $4 (raincheck item)
used $2 Prep H coupon
used $5/$20 CVS coupon (newspaper e-coupon)
scanned green bag tag
used $9 ecb's
= $3.75 OOP, received $11 ecb's

I got $1 in ecb's since I had scanned my green bag tag 4 times.  This $5/$20 coupon is great and it doesn't beep like some of the other ones that you can print off!  I plan to do another transaction similar to this on my other card.  With the $/$$ coupon this is a pretty good time to stock up on diapers.  I was running low so between CVS and Target this should help get my supply up :)

CVS Trip 6/5

CVS has some great deals this week.  Here is what I got when I stopped there on Sunday:

5 Vitamin waters $5/5, get $2 ecbs wyb 5
used $1/5 Vitamin water coupon
2 Oral-B Pulsar toothbrushes $6 each, get $3 ecbs each
used (2) $3 Oral-B coupons from 6/5 P&G
2 Crest mouthwashes $4.50 each, get $2.50 ecbs each
used (2) $2 Crest coupons from 6/5 P&G
used $4/$20 CVS coupon
used $10.99 ecbs
= $1.33 OOP, received $13 ecbs

If I would not have had to pay tax my OOP would have been a penny!!  Those $/$$ coupons really help bring the OOP down and in some cases (like this one) build up the ecbs a little more!  CVS has a pretty decent diaper deal going on this week that I might do but the one at Target is about the same deal and I'll be able to roll my $5 Target gift card.  I have 20 Huggies coupons that I can use and since the diaper deal at CVS is a limit of one I think it might just be better to do it at Target.  I'll post my results for that transaction soon!!

CVS 6/1

I had a great trip to CVS today.  I lost a whopping penny in ECBs but got some good stuff in the process.  Mike likes the Vitamin waters so that alone was worth the trip.  Here is what I got:

2 Milky ways 2/$1, get $1 wyb 2
5 Vitamin waters 5/$5, get $2 wyb 5
used $1/5 Vitamin water coupon
2 Oral-B toothbrushes $1.99, get $1 for each
used (2) $1 Oral-B toothbrush coupons from P&G saver booklet
Preparation H travel wipes $3.99, get $3.99
used $2 Preparation H coupon
Revlon pressed powder $9.99, get $4
used $6 Revlon CVS CRT coupon
used $12 ECBs
$2.34 OOP, received $11.99 ECBs

I got lucky and got the $6 Revlon coupon from the magic coupon machine when I went there.  I was able to find the powder for $9.99.  Even though it says you need $10 to qualify this item still worked.

CVS 7/17

I've had some great shopping trips to CVS lately and finally think I've got a good supply of diapers for when the twins arrive.  I'll still be buying diapers but now I'll make sure I can get them for under $2-$3 per pack.  Here is what I picked up on Saturday:

Celsius green tea $7.99, get $7.99
used $2 Celsius IP coupon
Huggies pull-ups $8.99, get $3
used $2 Huggies IP coupon
Veet gel cream $10.99, get $2
used $3 Veet coupon (Reinventing Beauty mag.)
used $2 CVS CRT
used $4/$20 CVS coupon
used $11 ECBs
=$5.41 OOP, received $12.99 ECBs

I could have just bought the smaller bottle of Veet to keep my OOP even lower but this bottle gave me over double the amount and since I had the CRT to use on top of the mannie I thought I might as well get more for my money.  And once I figured in the $4/$20 that I was using in the end the Veet didn't cost me anything!

CVS Trip 5/24

I made a trip to CVS - I wanted to stock up on the Ragu (even though we didn't get the $1.25 - boo!!).  I "lost" a couple ECBs but I still got some great deals :)

Great Deals This Week at CVS

I ran to CVS tonight to get some of the great deals that they have this week.  I think this is the first week in quite awhile that CVS has had multiple items that are free after ECBs.  Here is what I got tonight:

3 Nivea body washes $5.99 each, get $5 wyb $15

used (3) $4 Nivea coupons

6 pkgs. Carefree $1 each

used (6) $1 Carefree coupons

The NB items are great to get because you can apply that overage to the other items that you are buying!!

The Week of Diapers

I picked up a TON of diapers this week!  Both CVS and Target had great deals on them so I figured I might as well stock up while I can in preparation for the twins arrival :)  Sorry - no picture - they are all put away in the closet and arranged by size.  But here is a breakdown of what I got:

CVS
5 pkgs. Pampers $8.49 each, received $1 ECBs on some
used (5) $3 CVS coupons
used (3) $1.50 Pampers coupons
used $4/$20 CVS coupon

Most of the diapers were bought on separate transactions and with some other CVS deals.  I paid approximately $3.79/pack of diapers, which is awesome!!  If you calculate that to a per diaper cost it comes to less than 10 cents/diaper!!

Target
15 pkgs. Huggies $8.99 each, get $5 g.c. wyb 3
3 pkgs. Pull-ups $8.99 each, get $5 g.c. wyb 3
used (13) $3 Huggies coupons
used (2) $2 Huggies coupons
used (3) $2 Pull-ups coupons
used (15) $1.50 Huggies Target coupons
used (6) $5 Target gift cards
=$60.32 OOP, received $10 Target gift cards

Obviously I didn't buy all of these at once.  I think I did two trips to Target but did four separate transactions.  I had started out with $10 in gift cards so I just rolled those.  I paid about $3.35/pack of diapers/pull-ups and it works out to about 8 cents/diaper if you figure I bought mostly newborn or size 1's.  This was a great week to stock up and many thanks goes to my Mom & Aunt Raylene for printing me out the Huggies coupons!!  Those $3 coupons were awesome :)

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.

Nothing to See Here

I ran to Kmart really quick tonight - I had heard that John Frieda shampoo/conditioners were on sale for $3.  Apparently my Kmart did not get that memo though - it was on sale buy one get one 50% off.  So I left Kmart with nothing in hand.

To make up for the bad shopping trip I decided to stop at CVS on the way home to see what I could snag.  I had stopped there on Sunday and did the Kellogg's deal.  Tonight I picked up:
2 Oral-B toothbrushes $4 each, get $4
2 Clairol hair color $2.50 (clearanced)
used $5/2 Clairol coupon
used $7.99 ECBs
=$.79 OOP, received $8 ECBs

I'll keep the hair color for an upcoming garage sale.  They usually sell really well.

Why is it when I really need to get something at a great place there are no sales??  I really, really need diapers/pull-ups, but I haven't seen a great price lately.  Have you?

CVS - Taking Advantage of Two Weeks Worth of Sales

My Mom & I hit CVS Saturday night so that we could take advantage of last week's and this week's sales.  I wanted to do the Nature's Bounty deal a couple more times.  (Thanks goes to frugalsuz for posting about this!) 

Trans #1
2 Nature's Bounty Men's Your Life Vitamins $9.99 each (BOGO), get $3
2 Nature's Bounty Vitamin D $8.99 each (BOGO), get $3
used (4) $5 Nature Bounty coupons
Clairol Natural Instincts $5.99, get $2 (not pictured)
used FREE coupon (won in giveaway)
Pampers $8.88
used $2 Pampers coupon
used $5/$20 CVS coupon
=$2.59 OOP, received $8 ecbs

Trans #2
3 12 pks. Mt. Dew 3/$10 (not pictured)
2 Tostitos 2/$7
Stacy's pita chips $3, get $10 wyb $20 in qualifying products
used $1 Stacy's coupon
Pampers $8.88
used $2 Pampers coupon
2 Reinventing Beauty mags $.99 each
1 caramel $.33 (filler to get to $30)
used $5/$30 Medicare CVS coupon
used $15 ecbs
=$8.25 OOP, received $10 ecbs

I had originally planned on doing three transactions so that I was able to also use a $3/$15 that I had but when the cashier hit the total on the first transaction I was actually at -$4.82!!  That's when I added in the Pampers.  I still didn't do too bad considering that altogether I spent $10.84 OOP and gained $3 in ecbs!!  I'm going to do the Pepsi deal once more and then submit for THIS REBATE after I pick up some beer :)

Another Fab Trip

Have I mentioned there is sickness in my house right now?  Last night Logan (my 4 yr old) was up off and on from 3 AM until I was able to take him into the clinic at 10 AM.  He now has ear infections to go along with everything else.  Hubby also stayed home today since he has decided to become sick too.  I hope I don't get it - I need to remember to pop some Zicam tonight.  This afternoon while everyone was napping I made a trip to Target (to pick up a vaporizer) and stopped in at CVS to pick up some necessities.  Sorry, no picture this time around - I didn't have the energy.  You'll just have to visualize in your pretty little head what I bought :)

Trans #1:
Accu check monitor $14.99, get $10
used $10 Accu check coupon
2 Oust air fresheners $3.99 each, get $3 each
used BOGO Oust coupon
used $5/$20 CVS
used $3 ECBs
=$1.29 OOP, received $16 ECBs!!! 
That's an $11.71 Moneymaker :)

Trans #2:
Cottonelle $12.88, get $4
used $1 Cottonelle coupon
2 Oust air fresheners $3.99 each, get $3 each
used BOGO Oust coupon
CVS Vapor bath $4.69
CVS Electrolyte drink $2.24 (BOGO 50% off)
used $5/$30 CVS Medicare quiz coupon
used $2 off $10 CVS products coupon
used $11 ECBs
=$6.83 OOP, received $10 ECBs

I needed almost everything I bought in transaction two (except the Oust) but by doing the first transaction I was able to really build up my ECBs and use some of them towards the second purchase. 

On another subject I ordered coupons off of eBay for the first time.  I've never bought coupons before over the internet and hopefully it works out because they really were a great deal!  I bought 25 Oust coupons for $3.19 (free shipping) and 20 $1 J&J baby coupons for $2.99.  I won't be able to use all the Oust coupons myself but I'll be sharing them with my Mom, Aunt and maybe have a giveaway for some!

Have you bought coupons from other sources?  Let me know of your experience!

This Is Gonna Be A Long One

Since I've been dealing with two sick little boys all week I HAD to get out of the house tonight!  So where else to go but CVS right?  I did three transactions while I was there.  This week isn't too good when it comes to ECBs deals but they did have some others that I wanted to score on! 

Here is a breakdown of what I bought:

Trans #1:

2 Colgate toothpastes 2/$5, get $2

used $.75 Colgate coupon

used $1 Colgate coupon

Huggies pull-ups $8.88

used $2 Huggies coupon

2 packs 16 qt. storage containers $6.99 (BOGO)ss

used $5/$20 CVS coupon

used $9.99 ECB

=$3.08 OOP, received $2 ECBs

Trans #2:

2 Oust air freshener $3.99 each, get $3

used BOGO Oust coupon

2 Wonka gummies 2/$4, get $1

used (2) $1 Wonka coupons

2 Bioluxe products $9.99 (BOGO)

-look for ones with try me free rebate

2 Sterilite containers $5.99 (BOGO)

used $5/$20 CVS coupon

used $10 ECBs

=$8.35 OOP, received $7 ECBs + $9.99 rebate for Bioluxe

Trans #3:

Huggies $8.88

used $2 Huggies coupon

2 All HE laundry detergent $3.99 each

used (2) $2 All coupons

2 Bioluxe products $9.99 (BOGO)

-look for ones with TMF rebate

used $5/$20 CVS coupon

used $13.97 ECBs

=$2.14 OOP + $9.99 Bioluxe rebate

So as you can see I did use up $33.96 in ECBs and only received $9 back BUT I will be getting another $18.97 back in the form of prepaid Visa cards so I really don't have anything to complain about.  As I said before, CVS had some other deals that I wanted to do including the storage containers (for my stockpile), the Bioluxe rebates and the Huggies.  These transactions are some perfect examples of how you can use up ECBs - you might not earn the same amount back but you still have some to roll for next time.  And look at all the stuff I got!  This is the first trip in quite awhile that I will be able to use everything that I bought in all of my transactions for one day :)

What Can $16.61 Get You??

All This!!

Saturday night Mike took Logan to the monster truck show so Noah & I went up to my Grandpa's for dinner.  After some card playing I went to CVS with my Mom and Aunt and we hit the jackpot!  They had just marked down their Christmas merchandise to 75% off - yay!!  Some of their toys were also 75% off so I'm going to have some great gifts.  Here is what I got:
2 fragrance oils $.49 each
2 tubes of wrapping paper $.99 each
2 diffusers $.75 each
4 boxes of snowflake lights $3.75 each (only 1 pictured)
2 bags of candy $.99 each
1 dump truck $2.49
4 bags of wrapping paper $.49 each
1 Accu check $14.99, get $10
2 Hot Wheels tracks $6.25 each

I did use $26.99 in ECBs but I got $10 in ECBs from the Accu check.  Were you able to find some great deals this week?
