CVS Shopping Trip

This turned out to be an exciting week for me at CVS!   Some great app coupons, plus great Extra Care Bucks offers, plus a 25% off total purchase Just for You coupon (received via email) led to a shopping trip that ended up costing me NOTHING after all coupons, rebates, and ECBs…. for over $103 worth of products.  That’s a savings of 100%!  Plus, I came out $0.75 ahead when all was said and done.   And wait, it gets better!  A $12/$60 purchase coupon printed at the bottom of my receipt.  You can be sure I’m going to use that on next week’s shopping trip!

Did everyone get their FREE Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste and Mentos NowMints?  Freebies are always first on my list!  Especially when they are as easy as these.  The Mentos were a $4.00 money maker for me because I had a $1/2 Checkout 51 Rebate that had a limit of 4!  Since I bought 8, I was able to redeem all 4 that the rebate allowed.
The Gold Emblem abound snacks were also free because I had used a CVS Pharmacy coupon that is NLA to print, but had a very long expiration date.  I always print coupons for products I use alot of immediately when I see them because you just never know when they will disappear!  You’ll notice that the LOreal Hair Expert shampoo & conditioner coupon is also NLA.  I go through a ton of that because it’s my favorite.  That is another coupon I always print right away.

Below is a complete list of what was purchased.  You can see the breakdown for each making it very easy for you to mix and match deals and know exactly how much each deal costs.

You will notice that my 25% off entire purchase took $17.79 off my bill.   That discount attaches ONLY to non-sale items (such as the Neutrogena concealer, Garnier facial wipes, Venus razors, etc).

These are the CVS coupons used in this transaction:

  • $2.00 toothpaste, choose any brand CVS coupon (select shoppers)
  • $2/$8 Cosmetics CVS coupon (select shoppers)
  • $2/2 Gold Emblem Abound Snack Items, exp. Varies CVS PHARMACY COUPON (NLA TO PRINT)
  • $1.00 off Crest, Scope, Oral B toothbrush or mouthwash CVS coupon (select shoppers)
  • $1/$4 Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Styling or Hair Spray CVS coupon (select shoppers)
  • $1.50 off Tampons, Pads or Liners including CVS brand, CVS coupon (select shoppers)
  • 25% off purchase, CVS coupon (select shoppers, received via email)

REMEMBER: Extra Care Bucks have an expiration date so you want to be sure and use them before they expire.  I am already planning how to use the ECBs I earned on this shopping trip for my next shopping trip!

Be sure to share your favorite deals this week as well. Happy Savings!
