Eye Shadow Deal at CVS

I had to run to CVS tonight for some meds and of course I couldn't enter the place without checking out the deals first.

I started by scanning my CVS keycards over and over until it quit printing receipts.  I got a $3 off any cosmetic purchase and a $4 off any $20 purchase.

For my first transaction, I purchased two Revlon single eyeshadows and one Revlon multi pack eyeshadows.  It all retailed for about $17.  When you buy $15 of Revlon products right now you instantly get $7 back.  I was already going to use 3 $2 off 1 coup for each item and the $3 off any cosmetic purchase coup that just printed out of the machine!  I paid about $8 and got that $7 Extra Care bucks receipt instantly.

For my second transaction I bought some feminine products and medicine that totaled around $19.40.  I had just got a $4 off and $20 purchase coup from the machine so I bought two of those .33 caramels they sell at the register to use my $4 coup.  On top of that $4 coup, I had the $7 Extra Care Bucks from my reciept and $5.50 in manuf coup's from the paper.  That's $16.50 in savings on a $20 purchase!!!

The best part was that I wasn't even expecting to go on this trip and all I did was bring my coup binder and look up the coupon matchups on my cell.  I had also just learned the trick about scanning your CVS card several times to get multiple coups and about the cheap caramels they sell to help fill your order and get maximum savings!  

CVS Deal Accomplished At Least...

Today I stopped by CVS and this is what I got! I spent $10 and walked out with an extra $6 in Extra Care Bucks to use for my newspapers or something else I don't have a coup for later at CVS.  I needed to buy my Shampoo and Conditioner which is usually $8-$9 alone so I took advantage of some Extra Care Buck deals and used coupons to get all the extras.

Here's what I did:

Right Guard soap was $2.99 (reg $5.99).  I had a Buy One Get One free coup from the paper that I used.  When you bought two of them, they gave you back a $1 Extra Care Buck on your receipt.  It was limit one, so I sent Mike through the line to buy two of them after me with his CVS card.

Colgate was on sale for $2.77 and I used a $1 off coup from the paper.  When I bought it I got $2.77 in Extra Care Bucks on my receipt.  It was limit one as well so I had Mike buy one too on his card.

After we bought all of that we both had a combined $9.54 in Extra Care Bucks on our receipts.  I used $5 in Extra Care Bucks to pay for some shampoo and conditioner (which I desperately needed) that was on sale and used a $3 off 2 coup from the paper.   When I bought that, I got a $1 Extra Care buck back on my receipt.  There was a negative balance and so I bought Army some M&M's to close the transaction (not pictured for obvious reasons).

Bummed this week...

Cause I don't see any great deals!  It seems I've got a lot of rainchecks to redeem.  Walgreens seems to only stock a few of their sale items.  I believe the best days to take advantage of the sales is on the last day of the sale cycle.  I ususally go into the stores and they've already changed all the signs so people think the sale is over when it's not.  I'm hoping to score some free things at Walgreens today.  

But I did have a lady at Walgreens give me a ton of coupons after seeing my binder!  lol
