Alrighty folks, if you ever want to get into the CVS thing, this is the week to do it! Please check out all the details on the deals at moneysavingmom.com but this is what I got and paid $0 oop thanks to a gift card and the $5/15 coupon out.
I did mine in 4 transactions. I had to do mine a certain way because of the ECBs I had so you may not need to do yours quite this way.
5 Colgates
2 Oral B toothbrushes
2 $.50 2 $.75 1 $1 Colgate Coupons
2 $2 Oral B coupons
$5/15 coupon
$12.98 in ECBs
Total $1.94
Paid with gift card
Earned $25 in ECBs (should have, not sure if I did now that I look at my receipts)
2 Gillette Mach 3 Razors
1 Pain Patch
3 Lip Balms
2 $3 Gillette Coupons
$5/15 coupon
$14.95 in ECBs from previous transaction
Total $1.48
Paid with gift card
Earned $21 ECBs
2 Charmin (I worked this transaction b/c we need toilet paper and it was on sale for $5.99)
1 lip balm
2 .25 Charmin coupons
$13.97 ECBs
Total .57
Paid with gift card
Earned $2.99 ECBs
2 Excedrin
2 $3 coupons
$5/15 coupon
Used $10 ECB
Total .42
Paid with gift card
Earned $10 ECBs
Even without the gift card, I would have only paid $4.31 oop. In total, I saved $100.
As for Walgreens, I didn’t plan it too well so I paid more oop than I wanted. If you check moneysavingmom.com, I did both razor deals, 6 Herbal Essences and the Olay Bar Soap. I ended up paying about $15 oop but I have $13 left. I just didn’t plan that too well and since you can’t use the razor RR to pay for the other one, I was stuck. Anyway, think about that one before you do it.
I saw on Money Saving Mom that your toothbrushes didn’t print out any ECB. Well mine didn’t either. URG. I am planning to try to take mine back today. I never would have paid that for a toothbrush. I am a little nervous about taking them back because I used my coupon and some ECBs and bought other things things with coupons too. If you take yours back let me know how it goes. Blessings to you.
