So, there were no super-hot deals at CVS this week that had me excited…UNTIL I heard there was a “hidden deal” money-maker on Neutrogena bars, at which time I ran out the door to find some! One of my CVS stores had already been wiped clean, but I was able to find a couple at my other favorite store! So I got these:
Which are $2.99 each. So, my total was $5.98 before tax. I paid with a $5.98 ECB, paid ZERO out-of-pocket, and got back 10 ECB for buying two Neutrogena items! These bars weren’t supposed to be part of the deal, but they were. YAY! I like making $4 for buying stuff.
I also had some stuff I actually needed to get, that I got at the first store.
Milk $2.99
Huggies $8.99
Two Colgate $5.98
Venus Razor $7.99
Total = $25.96
Coupons: $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (my CVS takes competitor q’s)
Two $1 off Colgate manu q’s
$1.50 off Huggies manu q
$2 off Venus manu q
Total = $15.46
I paid with ECBs, I can’t remember how many exactly, but around 15, and I paid 78 cents cash and got back 9.98 ECBs – 4 for the Venus and 5.98 for the Colgate. Not bad for getting milk, diapers, and a fancy razor!
Well that’s all for me this week! Hope you all did great too! To see how everyone else did, check out CVS Superstars at the Centsible Sawyer, Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom and Shopping Superstars at the Thirfty Mama.
I love it when CVS has hidden money maker deals. I took advantage of this soap deal too. (It’s a plus that I like using it on my face.) It’s like I’m getting paid to shop.
Gotta love getting paid to shop! What does ECB stand for? We don’t have CVS here, and I don’t remember from living over there.
This wasn’t working at my CVS. They also were $3.19. I really have trouble finding all the same deals that others find at their local CVS. Oh well.
This did not work at my CVS either. They were $3.19 at mine also. I seen a lot it worked for me. Glad to see another~Laura in my shoes! Bummer!
I was want to know what CVS store you go to? I am new to the CVS shopping and my store said that they will not take competitors coupons and I just don’t get the deals you guys are getting. Thank You
Margie:
The CVS in Dayton Ohio at East Town Center (off of Linden Ave between Smithville and Woodman) … you can see it from US-35 heading East … takes competitors coupons. The store at B. Square at Wilmington Pike and Patterson says they will NOT take a manufacturer coupon and a competitors coupon, but I complained and they did. I have not tried at the store in Oakwood on Far Hills or the store on Central in Miamisburg. So good luck to you!!!
