CVS deals for the week of April 27, 2008


I'll edit this more later this week (most likely by Wednesday) with deals for the May ECB deals that start Thursday this week, so please check back with me before then!

First, there's a new CVS $3/$15 coupon online! Read more about how to get it here.

So, this week, one deal that caught my eye is this one:

Get $5 ECBs when you buy $15 of select 3M products.
Post-it notes are 2 for $4.
There's a $3 off 2 post-it flags coupon PDF here (I wasn't able to open this link in Firefox, but it opened fine in Explorer and AOL).

Buy 2 post-it notes and 6 post-it flags for $16
Use $3/$15 CVS coupon
Use 3 $3 off post-it coupons
total after coupons: $4 +tax
earns $5 ECBs!

To further sweeten this deal, there are two rebate forms online to print for these. You could do two rebate offers with the above scenario!
This one offers $5 McDonalds gift certificates when you buy 1 post-it notes and 1 post-it flags.
This one offers a $5 gift card to ProFlowers when you buy 1 post-it notes and 1 post-it flags.
::EDIT::
I had to revamp this deal when I got to the store today, because the post-its weren't 2/$4 like I originally thought, but instead they were 2/$5. But you know I still turned this into a money-maker. :)
New scenario:
2 post-it notes and 4 post-it flags for $15 (earns $5 ECBs)
1 Just for Men hair color for $7.99 (earns $7.99 ECBs)
$22.99 before coupons
-$3/$15 CVS coupon
-$6 (2 $3/2 post-it flags printables)
-$2 (1 $2/1 Just for Men printable)
Spend $11.99 ECBs, get $13.99 back.
Plus, get a rebate on the Just for Men!

Also, to my disappointment, these purchases do NOT qualify for the McDonald's rebate, because the post-it notes purchase must be one of the large packages and there are specific UPC codes to qualify. :( Sorry for the misinformation on this.
The ProFlowers rebate isn't so product-specific, so this rebate would still be redeemable for this deal, but as Crystal pointed out, $5 won't go far as their prices are a bit on the high side. (Or $10, if you sent the rebate in twice. It says once per person, not household, so I'll send it in once for me and once for my husband, at his work address to be on the safe side.)
--------------------------
Scenario #2:
$9.49- 1 CoverGirl TruBlend Whipped Foundation (earns $6)
$11.98- 2 Garnier Nutritioniste facial scrub (get 2 free Cream Cleanser with these, should earn $5 ECBs for the monthly Garnier deal)
Total before coupons: $21.47

-$4/$20 Beauty Purchase CVS coupon
-$2 Cover Girl TruBlend from the Beauty book
-$4, 4 $1 Garnier Nutritioniste coupons (from a few different recent newspaper inserts, I have TONS of these)
$11.47, earns $11 ECBs
Does anyone know if the free Garniers will count towards the $15 required purchase to earn $5 ECBs in the monthly deal? I'm gonna give it a try!

    Did the free Garniers work toward getting the $5 ECB?

    Anna,
    I can't say for sure whether or not the free Garniers work toward the monthly $5 ECB deal, because when I bought them, the free ones didn't ring up as free, and the manager had to void them off the order. Which put me at $11.98 for the monthly deal. So I went back the next day to try again, because I only needed $3.03 for the deal, and thought that if the free ones did scan properly and did count for the $5 ECBs, I would get $10 ECBs. But again, they didn't ring up as free and the manager had to void them off again. By this time, the manager must have been a little tired of me and my Garnier problems! lol
