My CVS Loot for the Week of 7/4/10!

Posted on 11:43 AM No Comments

This was a great week at CVS for me! I did 4 transactions (you can see my scenarios with coupon match-ups here) on one card. I may go back and do them again on my husband's card later this week, because I was able to print up so many unique Sobe coupons. I just need to find room in my fridge for more bottles!

Edit**

I went back two more times to CVS in the past two days. I think I'm addicted. haha

Here's what I bought:

The above order was $7.93, but would have been less if I hadn't accidentally grabbed 2 Carefree liners when I meant to grab 2 CVS liners. Oh well, sometimes that happens, I'm definitely not complaining!

The above order was $5.98. My fridge is officially full of Sobe Lifewaters. But my kids are thrilled! I think I'm done playing the Heads or Tails game on the Sobe website. I think. Free coupons are so hard to turn down, especially when they equal free products that my family loves!

**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 read the rest of this post for tips on how to make the game work for you, too!

At first glance I thought this was going to be a pretty weak week. But it turned out I was able to come up with some decent scenarios. The Sobe BOGO sale saved me. :)

**All of the above transactions utilize the $4/$20 CVS coupon that you get when you register a CVS card number for the email list. These coupons aren't hard to get multiples of, but I'm not going to tell you how to do it. :) Mainly because I don't want CVS catching on and canceling the email offers. But if I figured it out, you can too. It doesn't take much thinking or much time (and no tech-smarts or coupon-altering is necessary).
