Cvs 12/7-12/13/14

Late getting this to you........sorry

I somehow received a 20% off my purchase cvs q in the mail this week.  Yay!!  I don't get these very often so I was very excited!!!  The 20% does not come off sale prices, but it has been my experience that if an item is full price and you earn extra cake bucks that it will deduct the 20%.

Typically I would never ask the cashier to ring my items in more than one transaction, but with so many items available for full extra care bucks, I had to split mine up into 3 transactions.  That way I could roll some of the ecb's I earned into some of the other items I was buying.

Total Products $108.43

-Coupons -$16

-Extra Care Bucks used -$86.35

Less than $10 for all items pictured, plus I have $16 for next time in ecb left over.

WOOT WOOT

(In all fairness, I did buy a few other things that ran my cash out of pocket up like a box of christmas lights we just needed, 3 cases of sodas that weren't the best deal but with the holidays I decided to grab them, and $12 in first aid stuff that did earn me $4 ecb extra but was not that great of a deal).

23 freebies at cvs tomorrow!!!!

I haven't had time to detail oht the deals at cvs running tomorrow through weds, head on over here to wildforcvs.com where they have it all lined out.  Happy shopping!

CVS shopping ideas 11/16-22

Sorry for the delay in getting this list up.  Just a few quick things first:

If you are new to CVS shopping, be sure to ask the cashier to scan your cvs card into the beauty club.  You will earn a $5 ecb (extra care buck) for every $50 you spend on health and beauty items.

Always scan your cvs card at the magic coupon machine inside the store until it tells you that you have received all of your coupons.  Up to three times it will print coupons sometimes.

THIS SUNDAY 11/23 is the huge annual pre-black Friday ad!!!!  There will be tons and tons and tons of free items!!!!  But the early bird will get those worms, you might try and plan in some time Sunday to go to cvs!  I will get a shopping list/idea list up late in the week so you can prepare.

I am not going to put links to the printable coupons this week.  I know this is inconvenient, but dang I'm tired!  You can always skip over to www.hip2save.com and she has the links in her cvs shopping list.

Alrighty here goes:

Spend $30 and earn a $10 gift card:
Hershey's Kisses 2/$5, use $1/2 mq and $1/2 printable cvs q
Tide Pods $3.94, use the $2 q from last weekends paper or the 10/26 proctor & gamble insert
Covergirl, use all of the great q's from the 10/26 proctor & gamble inserts  (plus! don't forget that covergirl is part of the proctor and gamble spend $50 get $15 rebate!)

Cvs 11/15

I finally made it over to cvs, late Saturday night.  I won't go into details this time- just too tired.  There are also 4 packs of Scott paper towels not in the picture.  My total was almost $50 even with my extra care bucks.  But I used a couple pharmacy gift cards I have saved and paid $12.  Earned $31 (I think) extra care bucks for next week.

Starting to slowly poke away some Christmas gifts.....
