Super Savings Saturday
This week was a great CVS week for me. I have heard from others that they didn't fare as well, due to the lack of new $/$$ CVS coupons, but both of my local stores allow me to use them until they "beep", which isn't until two weeks after they expire. So I have two more days of using the $5/$15 printable from Wellness360 (no longer available at the site to print, but I printed TONS when it was available) and the $3/$15 Beauty purchase coupon that was on the CVS site.
Here's what I bought this week (on 2 cards, one in my name and one in my husband's):
On the first trip (2 transactions), I actually left with a lot more ECBs than I spent. I was happy to find Nivea coupons in the store for $2 off, which sweetened the already great scenario I had planned. I used those coupons, as well as $2 Pantene coupons from the Beauty magazines I bought last week as fillers at CVS, Softsoap Spa coupons from a recent newspaper insert, and the $5/$15 and $3/$15 beauty (my total was well above $30, so I was able to use both of these coupons).
On the second trip (again, 2 transactions), I spent $0.02 oop, and 37 ECBs, and got back 35 ECBs. I used the $5/$15 on both transactions, as well as the $3/$15 (not sure if razors and toothpaste really should count as beauty purchases, but when I asked the cashier, he laughed and said, "why not?" and scanned it through. I also used coupons on the Hershey's Bliss from the Beauty book, Febreeze coupons from last week's newspaper insert, and printable Excedrin and Arm and Hammer coupons from the internet.
I also bought 2 of the CoverGirl TruBlend whipped foundations this week, but forgot to photograph them. Used the B1G1 coupon from last week's paper.
All in all, a great week. I'm lookinf forward to trying the Nivea Sun Kissed gradual tanning firming lotion, the Arm and Hammer Whitening gel, the Pantene styling products, and the TruBlend foundation. I love it when I get to try new things for free. And I told my husband that with all that Febreeze spray, we should have the freshest smelling house in the neighborhood!
On a final note, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for new $/$$ CVS coupons to come soon!!
