CVS 20%-25% Entire Purchase Coupon

June 20, 2011

CVS has an offer going on facebook right now, they will distribute a 20%-25% off coupon depending on the number of “likes” they get on facebook. The more likes the better the deal. To get the deal, you will have to register your Extra Care card for emails (I’ve done this before, but it still let me do it to access this offer).  Have your card ready though, I had to go hunt mine down (so annoying).

The  pass will be emailed to you on Tuesday 6/28/11. The 3-day pass will be good on one entire purchase (excluding sale items) through Thursday 6/30/11.

CVS was okay

June 19, 2011

Last night, I got my coupon book organized and went to CVS a day early. One of the things that most people don’t know about CVS is that you can get Sunday’s prices on Saturday night if your store IS NOT a 24-hour store. I don’t know what time the registers actually switch over, but I have gone in twice between 8-9 PM and been able to get the next day’s deals a little early. It’s pretty awesome.

Speaking of awesome, CVS was just okay this week.  (Unlike Walgreens, which was so awful I had an urge to put on too much eyeliner and write bad poetry about it.)

Fun stuff this week at CVS

1) Hawaiian Tropic sun tan lotion and oil – spend $20, get $10 ECB back. There was a coupon for $1.00 off each in an old Sunday paper. Like paying $8 for 2. Nice.

2) Hershey’s Bliss candy… on sale for $5.99 with $5.99 ECB back. Free!

3) Pantene products: On sale $2 for 7, with $2 ECB back. Also, there was a $1.00 off coupon in last week’s paper. So it was like getting 2 for $3.

4) Colgate Total toothpaste… on sale for $2.79, $2 in ECB back, and there was a $1 off coupon in last week’s paper. Money maker!

5) Harvest Bars on sale for $0.99 each, and there was a B1G1 printable here. Not too bad, and I like to try new things.

Total cost of items:     $44.87

Less coupons and discounts:   -$17.70

OOP:   $27.17

ECB back:   -$20.00

Like paying $7.17 for all of that stuff! Holla!!

SavingStar – new way to save at CVS

June 14, 2011

On their Facebook wall today, CVS announced that you can now register your ECB card to get more “cash back” when you buy certain items in the store. The program is called SavingStar (click here for more info) and you can select “e-coupons” onto your card on certain products.

The weird part? It doesn’t deduct the savings amount from your bill. Your bill stays the same. It just banks your savings into an account that you can later withdraw from – or donate to charity.

Not sure how I feel about that. I’d rather save BEFORE I spend.

When I “redeem” my first SavingStar coupon, I’ll let you know. Hopefully it won’t cause drama at the register if I have a “paper” coupon for the same item.

Queen of CVS, on duty, sir!

June 12, 2011

Now, THIS week was more like it should always be at CVS. I didn’t let myself get distracted by the gas card promo or any special P&G promotion to get a razor free that I can usually get for less than a dollar at Walgreens anyway.

I put my list together, cut my coupons, and stayed on target!

Clean clothes and clean pits...

- The Bayer aspirin deal is the same at CVS this week as it is at Walgreens. On sale for $3, you get $1 in ECB back, and there’s a $2 coupon in the paper. Free!

- Off Clip-ons I had a BOGO coupon for. You got $2 in ECB when you bought one this week.

- Purex was on sale this week BOGO as well. There was a coupon for it for $1 off, but it expired last night, DANG IT!

- Degree deodorant was on sale for 2/$12 and you got $4 in ECB back.

- The gum was BOGO – and I really just needed some gum. Nothing to see here people, move along…

There were two really good free deals that I didn’t get to do because they were out of stock (I rainchecked)…

- Motrin PM on sale for $4 this week, you get $3 in ECB’s back, and there’s a $1 off coupon in this week’s paper – FREE

- Schick Hydro 5 is FREE this week: On sale for $8, you get $4 in ECB back, and there’s the $4 coupon in this week’s paper.

Drumroll, please…

Total value of items:     $60.00

Less coupons and in-store discounts:    -$45.69

Out-of-pocket:    $14.31

ECB back:    -$9.00

It’s like getting all that stuff for $5.31! Booyah!

CVS was just aight for me, dawg

June 6, 2011

Well, I DID go to CVS where I tried to be a savings Queen, but again, I spent about $50 OOP, which is always a bummer. (Anything over $10 is a bummer for me when I’m at the drugstores.) I thought I’d take another whack at the gas card promotion, and I thought I’d try the P&G promotion, but in the end – the Queen was sad.

Here’s my haul:

I put the Mavs hat up there just for fun.

We’ll start with the gas card promotion (Buy $30 of special items and get a $10 gas card back):

- Advil 200 count was on sale for $12.99 each, and I had a coupon for $4 off 2.

- Hefty bags on sale for $6.99, and I had a coupon for $0.55 off, and we were out of trash bags anyway.

Total OOP: About $28. Gas card = $10. Like paying 3/$18 or $6 each. Eh. I kinda wanted to take some Advil afterwards when I had to pay.

Next, I tried the dang P&G promotion. I don’t know why it got me so excited, I can usually get that razor for about $0.99 at Walgreens, but I thought OMG I GOTTA HAVE THAT FREE RAZOR RIGHT NOW NOW NOW!! The promo was buy $30 in P&G stuff, get that $10 razor for free.

- (4) Nature Luxe Lip Balm, on sale for 2/$12, and there was a $5 off 2 coupon in the paper this week. I don’t really need lip gloss right now, but I figured if it’s good enough for Taylor Swift – it’s good enough for me.

- Bounty Paper Towels, on sale for $5.99, with a $0.25 coupon in the paper (REALLY, P&G! Lame coupon!)

- There was also a $4 coupon for the free razor in the paper.

Total OOP: a little over $16. Eh. At least I’ll have sexy lips.

The rest of it was more my style…

- Oral B Pulsar Toothbrush. On sale for $6, you get $3 in ECB back and there was a $3 coupon in the paper this week. Free!

- Dove soap. On sale for $6 for a 6-pack, buy $15, get $5 back. I got 3 for $18, and then had $5 ECB back.

- Crest Pro-Health mouthwash. On sale for $4.50, you get $2.50 ECB back, and there was a $2 coupon in the paper. Free!

- The Rimmel nail polish was on clearance for $1.12, I had a $1 coupon, so it was $0.12.

- I can’t remember why I bought the Dawn dishwashing detergent. I think I had a $1 coupon for it, thus making it free.

After I put in some of last week’s ECBs, my OOP was around $3. Holla!
