My CVS scenarios for the week of 7/20
**If you're new to the CVS game this post won't make much sense to you. Go here first to read my Beginner's Guide to CVS and learn everything you need to know. Then come on back and read the rest of this post to see how I'm getting $80 worth of stuff at CVS for free this week, and you can too!
Looks like it'll be a decent week at CVS this week! The following scenarios are for Sunday, because they use the $3/$15 coupon which expires Sunday. Also, to do the Clean and Clear scenario, you'll need to print the coupons from 2 computers (print limit is 2 per computer).
Here's what I came up with (please let me know if you see any errors!):
Transaction 1:
$4.99 L'oreal Vive shampoo or conditioner (on sale B1G1)
$4.99 L'oreal Vive shampoo or conditioner
$1.49 Trident Xtra Care gum (on sale B1G1)
$1.49 Trident Xtra Care gum
$3.00 CVS brand Diaper Rash relief
$15.96 before coupons
$9.48 after discounts for L'Oreal and Trident sales
-$4.99 B1G1 L'Oreal Vive coupon (from 7/13 SS)
-$1.49 B1G1 Trident Xtra Care coupon (from 7/20 SS)
-$2.00 CVS Brand Skin care coupon (the online link to these is gone, but iheartcvs.com has a pdf file you can save that is already preshrunk to a printable size)
$0.98 after coupons! (and you have $3 towards your CVS brand baby care ECB offer, buy $15 get $5 ECBs)
**If you have the $3/$15 coupon and shop before the end of the day today, you could add on $2.50 worth of stuff, get it for free, and your total after coupons would be $0.48!**

I always try to work a half gal or gal of milk into my scenarios too! LOL
I didn't receive the B1G1 Trident coupon today (Maine)--am I the only one? I got a $1/3 coupon instead.
No, don't-cha worry!! Here is AZ we didn't get ANY kind of Trident Coupon!! Bummer!!!!
I'm curious if transaction #5 worked for you...
Does the 2nd item that is free come off before your $3.00 coupon or after?
I just started CVSing last week and saved a TON of money :)
Thanks for posting this great info.
My CVS won't let me use multiple C*C coupons at once.
My stores just lately have been taking the bogo item off the total before the subtotal so I have to remember to make up for that in making the price up to the $/$$ coupon amt Jessica. When I first started doing this a couple months ago they counted those items into the total - now they don't. Must be something that they are changing - has anyone else had this happen to them?
Love your blog Lavonne - esp your great scenarios! Keep up the great work - thanks for all you do!!
