CVS Deals Week of 8/18

August 18, 2008

I did four transactions this week, using two different CVS stores.

WARNING: If you’re new to CVSing, check out Money Saving Mom’s CVS 101 before you read below.

Transaction #1:

Band-Aids Ultra Strips $4.49

$2 off any $10 purchase coupon (here)
$1 Neosporin coupon from recent newspaper insert
$0.50 Band-Aids coupon from recent newspaper insert
$2 off any CVS skincare coupon (here)

Used $5 ECBs from last week
OOP $1.98 plus tax
Earned $5 ECBs (Neosporin/Band-Aids)

Transaction #2
Banana Boat Sunscreen (desperately needed!!) $9.99
2 Sally Hansen nail polishes (for cousin’s Christmas gift) $4.19

$2 off any $10 purchase coupon (here)

$3 off 2 Sally Hansen polishes (here)

Used $5 ECBs from transaction #1
OOP $4.18 plus tax
Earned $5 ECBs (Banana Boat)

Transaction #3
Revlon Lash Fantasy $7.99
Downy (I was TOTALLY out!) $3.99

$2 Revlon coupon from recent newspaper insert
$2 off any $10 purchase coupon (here)

Used $5 ECBs from transaction #2
OOP $2.98 plus tax
Earned $5 ECBs (Revlon)

Transaction #4
CVS baby wipes $2.50
2 Kashi GoLean Crunch cerals $2.99 each
2 Oral B Indicator toothbrushes $1.99 each
Downy $3.99 (Did I mention I was TOTALLY out?)
2 Sally Hansen polishes (more for my cousin) $4.19
4 Glade air fresheners $0.88 each

$2 off any CVS skincare coupon (here)
$4 off any $20 purchase (previous receipt coupon)
$1 Kashi cereal coupon (here) – Used 2 (You can print 2.)
$1.76 – 2 B1G1 Glade coupons from recent newspaper insert
$3 off 2 Sally Hansen polishes (here)

Used $5 ECBs from transaction #3
OOP $6.40 plus tax
Earned $2 ECBs (Oral B)

This is a little more out-of-pocket than I like to spend, but we were totally out of Downy, my husband had specifically requested Kashi cereal, and we’re almost out of our daughter’s sunscreen. I spent $15.54 plus tax out of my own pocket. That’s what I would have paid for the sunscreen and Downy at Wal-Mart. In addition, I got the two packs of wipes from my daughter’s preschool supply list, and I got several household items that we needed. I will be donating at least two of the air fresheners (which I used as fillers) and both toothbrushes. The nail polishes go toward my cousin’s Christmas gift (the wild colors aren’t for me!). So overall, it was a good deal.
