CVS 1/16/11

This time around I am going to be more conscious of the items I purchase couponing. My goal this year is to save while couponing to to help eliminate debt.

So, to get started, I first stop this year was to CVS. My stockpile has slowly withered so now its time to get back on track.

Transaction 1
3 packs of Charmin ultra soft tissue @ $9.99 each
(note: the deal is for the 16 rolls but some stores have bonus pack left over from a previous deal which includes 4 more rolls)

Total including tax was $32.07 OOP, received $10 ECB.


Transaction 2
6 pepsi product 12 packs @ 3/$20

USED: $10 ECB from trans 1

Total including tax was $10.60 OOP, received $10 ECB


Transaction 3
2 Purex liquid detergent B1G1 @ $6.59
Goddie Scunci @ $2.99

USED: $10 ECB from transaction 2

Total was $.14 OOP.

Finally, I paid $39.45 + tax for $92.08 worth of merchandise!!!

CVS 1/10 including J&J Rebate

I wanted to do the Johnson & Johnson Beauty for all Ages Rebate to get the Clean & Clear items I wanted. After going to several Rite Aids last week and not finding the refills, I decided to go to CVS. I rolled $2 ECBs Saturday and then returned Sunday.

CVS 8/23

Today went terribly wrong! I had to revamp my order in the 1st store...when I got to the register I was short on my $5/$25 so I piled candy bars on the counter to reach $25. When I got in the car I realized I purchased the WRONG carefree liners! So I have to return them and received $3.40 back. I had planned 2 transactions but ended up going to three different store to find items. I did not get the Lipton teas(2), glade sense and spray(2), papermate pen(2), or the comp notebooks(2). However I did gain 7 candybars!

School Suppies and Tissue @ CVS-Cheap

Sorry no pics, I went to a birthday party and gave most of the supplies away.

SO, I went to CVS at 6 am yesterday morning to get the great deals from the 3-day sale. I started with a $.50 extra care reward.

My total OOP was $6.10, saving $30.41. I purchased:

3 pocket folders
2 scissors
2 wood rulers
2 glues
3 papermate pens
2 1 subject notebooks
1 Scott tissue 12 pack

Freebies at CVS plus $5 moneymaker

Buy SIX 3M Command Metal Hooks - $2.50 each (total $15)
Use SIX $2.50/1 printable coupons (Yes, it's a pdf, but it's directly from 3M's site and they put)Pay $0 out of pocketGet back $5 in ECBs!
$5 Money-maker after coupons and ECBs
note: If you have several CVSs close to you, you can buy a couple at each store if one of the stores doesn't have all 6. The total will build with each purchase and then once you hit $15 your ECBs will print out. This would be a great way to get started CVSing if you are new!

Thanks to: Steph @ http://SavingwithSteph.com, check out the blog for more great deals!
