It’s time to spend $5 and fill up our shopping basket! Once a week I give my ‘ode to deals’ by posting one, and only one crazy awesome drugstore deal that I think is best for new people (and veterans) starting out with coupons. If you are new to couponing check out out my 10 Step Couponingcourse and especially my guide to navigating the drugstores!
This is not Extreme Couponing, but it is doable couponing for the rest of us!
My challenge is to not use more than $5.99 out of pocket and see how far I can s-t-r-e-t-c-h my money.
Some notes about shopping at CVS:
- Their cash back program is called Extra Care Bucks (ECB), it prints at the bottom of your receipt.
- Use your store loyalty card every time you shop.
- Scan your card at the red coupon machine inside the store for CVS store coupons.
- You can use a CVS store coupon with a Manufacturer coupon on one item.
- You can use 2 coupons on a BOGO sale.
- You can use a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale.
This week is interesting, CVS has a 3 Day Ad and then there will be another ad starting on Wednesday. As always, it’s regional so check your stores to see if they are participating. The following scenario is for the 3 Day and 4 Day. That Gillette deal was worth the whole post!
If you have a 3 Day Ad, look for a 20% off savings pass included!
Transaction #1: 10/7-10/09
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler Kit $9.99
Use $4 off 1 coupon from 10/7 RP
=$5.99, get back $5 ECB
Transaction #2: 10/10-10/13
Revlon Nail $4.99
Use $5 ECB from previous transaction
=$0, get back $3 ECB (are there any coupons to go with this?)
Transaction #3: 10/10-10/13
Crest 3-D White Toothpaste $2.99
Use $.50 off 1 from 9/30 PG
=$2.49, get back $2 ECB
Add a filler for $.50
Use $3 ECB from previous transaction
=$0, get back $2 ECB
Transaction #4: 10/10-10/13
(2) Mars fin Size Packs 6pk. $1/each
Use $2 ECB from previous transaction
=$0, and $2 towards Buy $10 get $3 ECB deal
Bottom line: $5.99 out of pocket, $19.97 worth of product and an awesome shaver!
