My CVS Trip
Yes, I went to CVS again today, they had a new ad and I had a ton of coupons about to expire. For those of you that have been buying the Beauty Magazines (CVS one) you can use them today with their BOGO deals on nail polishes. Our cheapest was the $2.49 but when you pair that with the $3 off you make money. Course with CVS you can’t go below zero so you will have to make it to $0.00 or higher for it to work. We went a bit overboard but I’ve been wanting the new Glade plug ins. We bought that Tri Scent last time and it really works so I’m going to buy some smelly scented thing for each room.
$2.49 (each) Sally Hansen Nail polishes (bought 6) total: 7.47
BOGO (Limit 6)
$5.99 Glade S&S (limit 1)
$1.99 CVS Cotton balls
2/$3 M&Ms
$1.99 PAAS (limit 2) total: 3.98
$5.99 Glade lasting impressions (limit 1)
$1.25 2 liter pepsi
Total: $29.67
Coupon:
- $1/2 on M&M
- $9 ($3 off Sally Hansen Nail Polish from Beauty Mag)
- $4 Glade Sense & Spray
- $4 Glade plug in scented oil lasting impressions
- $1 off (CVS coupon from Beauty mag)
Coupon total: $19 in coupons (wow)
Complete total after coupons: $11.38 (with tax)
ECBs earned: $4.98 (2, one for $1 from Glade and $3.98 from PAAS)
I was asked what an ECB is. The basic idea is when you buy a certain item that CVS wants you to buy for that week you get Extra Care Bucks. These print out at the bottom of your receipt and you can use them next time. Kind of like fake money but you can use it in their store.
Ex: $5.99 Glade Lasting Impressions
$1.00 ECB
Total: $4.99 course you will pay the $5.99 to get it and on the
receipt will be the $1 ECB for next time.By the way there is a $4.00 coupon on the glade in today’s paper so really
you’ll only pay $1.99 and get back that $1.00 ECB.
I realize I could’ve got this a bit cheaper if I had done two transactions but I was in a hurry to leave with the kids. We might be back later depending on the coupons we have at home. We’ll be doing a coupon party with a neighbor later, I’ll even write about it.
