What not to miss at CVS this week

I promised to keep this updated for you.  To help you.  To lead you on this couponing journey...........and then life happens and its Wednesday and I am just slapping this up for you.  Sorry.

Remember that you can always go to www.hip2save.com and she puts up a fabulous store round up for the next week for several stores, cvs included.  If you click on the cvs logo on the right side of her screen, you will get all the deals specific to cvs.  Its where I dig around and plan my trips.

Alrighty, back to business.

Here are the things at cvs this week I know I don't want to miss.  They are not all of the good prices that are offered, but they are the super hot stuff that you will find fun to participate in.

• Starbucks Refresher Can $1.50, earn a $1.50 extra care buck.  PLUS- go here and print a coupon for $1 off 1.  That means you will pay $.50 and earn $1.50 back- $1 money maker!!!  Woot woot!

Also- here is a tip for you.  Whenever you print at a coupons.com site, it will print you coupon and then put a thank you screen.  If you press your 'back' button on your browser 3 times it will print again.  Each coupon is typically available for printing two times from each computer.  This deal at cvs is only good once, but this is just good info to know.

• Loreal facial care- buy 2 and get $10 extra care buck.  There were $2 q's in the 9/14 red plum insert or there is a $1 off one printable coupon here.  There are scrubs and such starting around $6, so if you bought 2 and used 2 $1 coupons you would pay $10 and earn $10- free.  Or if you have the $2 q's, you could make $2 buying high end facial cleansers.  Yes please.

Mars, Nestle or Twizzler bags 2/$5.  Earn $ extra care buck.  There was a $1/2  manufacturer coupon a few weeks ago.  Makes them $1.50 per bag.  Not a bag price.

Revlon make up and beauty tools spend $15 get $5 extra care bucks.  Last week the magic coupon machine gave me a 40% off a beauty tool coupon.  Thinking this might make for some good deals.  Or that buy an eyeliner get a mascara coupon from a few weeks ago.  Remember, you only have to reach the $15 BEFORE your coupons.  Should make for some cheap make up.

Loreal Shampoo and Conditioner 2/$9.  Buy 2 earn $5 extra care bucks.  Use the $4/2 manufacturer coupon from the 9/14 red plum insert.  Pay 5 and earn $5.  FREE SHAMPOO!  This is a fabulous donation item!

Schick razors spend $25 earn $10 extra care bucks.  I'm not sure what this deal could turn out to look like but I am sure gonna check it out.  I always get money off coupons for shaving items from the magic coupon machine.  Plus with this $4 printable coupon you can probably cook up a good deal.

Brookside chocolates 2/$6.  The magic coupon machine should print you a $2/2 coupon this week.  And print this $1 coupon 2 times, that will make 2 bags just $2.  These are nice treats!

Wet and Wild cosmetics are buy 2 get 1 free.  Nail polishes run $.99 to $1.49.  There is a $1 coupon in the 9/21 coupon insert.  So if you buy two $.99 polishes and get one free- you would use 2 coupons making all 3 free.  If you buy the $1.49 variety you would use 3 coupons (because you can use a coupon on the free item as long as it doesn't exceed the items value) you would still get all 3 free.  

Arm and Hammer detergent, buy 1 get 2 free.  These should run around $7.50 for one.  So you could buy 6 bottles, you will pay for two- about $15.  Use 3 $2/2 manufacturer coupons from the 9/14 smart source insert.(because cvs's coupon policy states you can use a coupon on a free item) which means you would pay $9 for 6 bottles of laundry soap.  Yay!

Spend $30 on select items earn a $10 cvs giftcard:

There are a couple really nice deals to be had with this promotion.

Huggies diapers $8.99.  Tons of coupons available here for $2 or $3 off one package.  So if you bought 4 packages- $36, and used 4 printable coupons ($2 just to be safe)(would need to computers to print the coupon 4 times), you would pay $28 and earn a $10 gift card.  Thats like paying $18 for 4 packs of diapers!

OR

Tide Laundry Soap $5.94 each.  Printable coupon for $2/2 found here.  Plus there are $1/1 manufacturer coupons in the 9/14 Red Plum.  So if you have two insert coupons and two printable coupons you could do this:

Buy six detergents at $5.94 each= $35.64

Use coupons to get $1 off each= -$6

Pay $29.64

Earn a $10 CVS gift card.  PLUS- submit for this $10 rebate from Proctor and Gamble.  You have to do this by 9/30, but it is really easy to do!

Which makes your final cost $9.64 for 6 bottles of Tide.  Yes it takes some extra work with the rebate submission, but I believe its worth it!

Happy shopping- I will let you know how my shop turns out!
