My planned CVS trip yesterday did not have me ALL that excited. BUT, I had a 25% off shopping pass that would expire if I didn’t use it that day, so I put a deal together. And then, when I got to CVS and scanned my Extra Care card, the Magic Coupon Machine spit me out a WHOLE LOT OF AWESOME! And then I was officially excited!
You see, there was a Colgate deal, buy $10 worth, get back $5 ECB. I wasn’t going to do it because the products aren’t on a good sale price, and all I had was a 75-cent off coupon. But, they were also part of an Ibotta offer (if you bought the correct Colgate toothpaste, toothbrush, and a box of Kleenex you got $3 back from Ibotta). And THEN the magic coupon machine printed me off a coupon for $3 off a $10 shave or oral care purchase and I was like, OK I’LL DO IT! The magic coupon machine also printed me off $1 off select P&G items, including CoverGirl, and $4 off a $12 cosmetics purchase. Since I was just a few dollars away from my next $5 CVS beauty club award, I decided to go for a CoverGirl deal too. So here’s how it shook out:
Kleenex 99 cents
2 CoverGirl Clump Crusher mascara BOGO 50% off, $13.18
2 Edge shave gel $3.49 each, $7.98
Colgate toothbrush $5.49 (who would ever pay that for a TOOTHBRUSH!?!??!?)
Colgate toothpaste $4.99 (it’s a large tube but still, seriously?)
Total = $32.63
Coupon I used:
25% off CVS e-mail coupon (only valid on certain items) -$3.52
-$3/$10 oral care or shave purchase CVS coupon from machine
-$4/$12 cosmetics purchase CVS coupon from machine
-$4 two $2 CoverGirl blast mascara from coupons.com
-$1 off select P&G products CVS coupon from machine
– 75 cents Colgate toothpaste coupon from coupons.com
-$3.49 BOGO Free Edge shave gel coupon from coupons.com
total = $12.87
I paid with 11 ECB and my total with tax was $2.32 :). I got back 7 ECB, 2 for the Edge and 5 for the Colgate. Plus I will get back $3 from Ibotta for buying the Colgate + Kleenex. So that worked out pretty great!
I’ll be stopping by Rite Aid later this week for some great deals on Maybelline – the only mascara I have yet to try, I think! What are you planning to get at the drugstore this week?
I seriously have to start taking notes. You get some great deals! My husband would fall over if I started saving so much money! Thanks!
