CVS
I bought 2 Arm and Hammer 2 in 1 dryer sheets (40ct) that were Buy One, Bet One free if you use your CVS card. Because I was getting 2, I used 2 coupons from the Sunday paper that were for $1.00. I also bought some new Dove MenCare Deodorant that is $4.99, but on sale for .99 with your CVS card. I used a $1.00 off coupon for the deodorant. Here's how it rang up:
1 Deodorant .99
1 Dryer Sheet box $ 4.79
1 Dryer Sheet box FREE (BOGO)
2 coupons for dryer sheets = -$2.00
1 ecoupon for deodorant = -$1.00
Total charge = $3.00
So for $3 I got 2 new boxes of dryer sheets (80 sheets total) and a free men's deodorant that is usually pretty pricey (new item).
Walgreen's
Let me preface this by saving I had to rush my son to the dr today for a suspected bladder infection. I bribed him with candy if he would do what the dr said because he was in such pain so I stopped off at Walgreens to get him a special treat. Of course, I can't pass up the circulars because Walgreen's gives back register rewards when you purchase items.
If you bought a new toothpaste, Crest Luster White, for $4.99 you get $4 back in register rewards. I also saw that they had the Nexcare Waterproof bandaids on sale for $2.99 and stuck to the box was a rebate for $2.99. I hate rebates, but I love these badaids even more. Weird, I know. So I decided to use these deals to help me buy an overpriced candy item ($1.49). Before I rang up, I told the woman I was gonna make two purchases. Here's what I did:
1st Purchase:
Luster White Toothpaste $4.99
Total charge = $4.99
A $4 register reward printed out with my receipt
2nd Purchase:
Nexcare Band aids $2.99
Baby Bottle Candy Pop $1.49
Used $4 register reward coupon -$4.00
Total Charge = .48
So out of pocket on this trip I spent $5.47, but I will get a $2.99 rebate so it actually cost $2.48 for a tube of fancy toothpaste, my favorite band aids, and a baby bottle pop.
