Deals of the Day...CVS

I went to CVS today because I had a $5 ECB expiring. I didn't really have a plan for anything, besides I was going to pick up some deodorant. So I decided to browse the aisles and see what I could find. A 75% off tag in the baby section caught my eye. I got the Huggies Clean Team wipes for .75 cents...these will come in handy as potty training is on the horizon at our house! I also snagged a double refill pack of Pampers wipes for $1...a great addition to a baby gift I am putting together!!! I ended up spending $4 oop and getting a $2 ECB for the Aveeno shampoo.

Deals of the Day...CVS, Walgreens

I haven't taken advantage of any CVS deals lately but when I saw that Pampers were on sale for $10 this week I decided to jump back on the CVS train!

Spend $20 on Pampers/Playskool Products, Get $5 ECBs (Limit 1)
So I bought 2 Pampers Cruisers $10 each, used $2 ECB I received from taking a survey, and 2 coupons...I've seen $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 (from P&G rebate booklet) out there...and got 5 ECBs back! The diapers came out to be $4.75 per pack after coupons and ECBs! Yeah! I love a good diaper deal.

Walgreens also has their store brand of diapers on sale this week for $4.50 per pack. I haven't tried them in a while so for that price I thought I would give them a shot. Check out Money Saving Mom for other great deals you could snag at Walgreens and CVS this week.

Deals of the Day...CVS

I had ECBs (Extra Care Bucks) expiring this week so I headed in to CVS to see how best to "roll them over". I bought 1 of each of the following, plus a big ball for .17 cents (summer clearance items 75% OFF):

Buy 1 L’Oreal Age Perfect, Revitalift or Skin Genesis at $5.99, Get $5.99 ECBs

Buy 1 Revlon Nail Color at $3.99 (Sun & Mon only), Get $3 ECBs

Buy 1 Right Guard Sport, Xtreme, Soft & Dri or Dry Idea: $2.99, get $2 ECBs

I used a $1 L'Oreal coupon, $1 Right Guard coupon and $2/$10 CVS coupon*. I paid with $8.79 in ECBs and .42 cents on a giftcard...got back $10.99 ECBs! If I would have had a Revlon coup, I could have saved even more!

*The $2/$10 is from this issue of Richmond Parents magazine....coupon is on page 30.

Deals of the Day...CVS & Target

Finally! A moneymaker at CVS this week. I have gone so long with just having to spend my ECBs on stuff so that don't expire, not always making back what I put in. I haven't been impressed with too many of their deals lately. This week I lucked out...they actually had what I went in for and had good coupons. I got 2 Covergirl lip colors (only ECBs back on 1...$5.99, but had a B1G1 coup and $1 off) and Colgate toothpaste (got $2 ECBs and had $1.50 coup). I also used a $2/$10 coup. So, I payed with $4 ECBs and .74 cents.....got back $7.99 ECBs!!!

If you haven't done the Kellogg's $10 rebate yet this is the week to cash in...Target has a deal where if you buy 4 of certain items you get a $5 gift card. All the items in the deal are eligible for the Kellogg's rebate. I only had one set of coupons so I did the best I could with those. I got the 10 items pictured to qualify for the rebate...after sale, coupons, gift cards and rebate I will have made $5.00!

What great deals have you found this week?

Deals of the Day...CVS!

Well....I keep getting $10 off $50 purchase coupons at the end of my CVS receipts...so I thought I would see if I could make a good deal out of one. I think I did pretty good.....Everything I bought, with the exception of one deodorant, gave back ECBs. The extra deo was on clearance for 82 cents, so worked as a good filler. My before coupon total was just above $50. Used the $10/$50, $15 in CVS & manf. coupons, $25 in ECBs & change on my gift card.......getting back ECBs totaling $32.47. I love when I can meet my goal of getting back more than I put in!!! It's almost as if CVS is paying me to shop!

Deals of the Day...CVS and Target

Well, yesterday I finally got to CVS for the week. I know some people make it to CVS several times a week or even day to snag up deals but I do good to make it once a week. When I do get there I always keep my fingers crossed that they will have what I want. This time was a success. The best deal was the "Be Fine" skin care packets I had read about on another blog. They are only 1.99 and you get 3 ECBs back!

Next, I was off to Target! My main purpose for going was to pick up formula for my daughter. I have been using the Target brand (similar to Enfamil) for some time now and it seems to work just great. It is about $12 a can, a great bargain compared to the name brand price of about $24. I also picked up a few other things I needed that were on sale this week. My best find was face cleanser. I use Olay facial cleansing cloths...usually around $5 for a box. I found these for $1.61 a box!!! Not clearance or anything, just regular price marked on the shelf! Don't know why the huge markdown but I sure snagged them all up! Plus, I had 2 coupons to take extra off!

Deals of the Day...CVS!

CVS is just awesome! Who can pass up getting free stuff?! I try to put together a deal scenario before I head to CVS based on how many Extra Care Bucks I have to spend. They do tend to run out of the stuff you get ECBs on so I always have to tweak my purchase plans once I am in the store! Didn't do too bad today though...

All this for only some cents out of pocket, after my manufacturers coupons, $5/$15 CVS coupon, and $15 CVS bucks. Plus I got $24.46 back in ECBs!!!
