CVS--> 15 (small) bags of chips FREE this week

CVS has an unadvertised deal going on this week:
Buy 3 bags of the small Frito Lay chips for $1 & get back $1 ECB.
There is a limit of $5 ECB's for this deal.
Do the above 5 times & you will have 15 free bags of chips.  That's 2 weeks worth of lunch snacks! OK, so not really in my house but I'm assuming others have more will power.  :) 

CVS--> FREE Green Bag Tag this week

This week you can get a Green Bag Tag for FREE after ECB.

Since I have so many reusable bags, I keep my GBT on my keyring with my CVS card & scan it each time I shop.  This is an easy way to keep tack of your GBT & use it to get your $1 ECB for every 4 uses.

CVS Matchups 3/27- 4/2

Check out the CVS deals & matchups this week over at Simply CVS.

CVS Newbie Shopping Trip Plan

If you're new to CVS shopping, couponing or even if you just don't have any current ECB's here's a scenario that will work for you.  It uses printable coupons so no worries if you don't have a coupon inventory yet!

CVS
Transaction #1:Theraflu Daytime Trial Pack $.99
Tena Ultra Thins Heavy Protection Pads 32-42 ct $9.99

= $10.98

- $2 theraflu printable coupon 
- $2.50 tena printable coupon  *it looks like they took this coupon down so try this one for $2.50 or this one for $1 off.

pay $6.48 (+ tax) oop

Get back:

$ .99 theraflu ECB

$9.99 tena ECB

Transaction #2:Spend $15 on select Coke or Kraft products get $5 ECB

Buy 15 coke 2l @ $1 each  If you don't like coke, you can substitute honest tea, smart water or fuze as they are all part of the spend $15 get $5 ECB promo & are also $1 each.

= $15

- .99 Theraflu ECB

- $9.99 Tena ECB

pay $4.02 (+ tax) oop

get back

$5 coke ECB

You just spent $10.50 (+ tax) oop for 15 2L's of coke, a pack of theraflu & a pack of tena.  And you have $5 in ECB to roll or spend on something else.

Even if you don't need/ use the theraflu or tena, they are great donation items!

Don't forget to have them scan your green bag tag with transaction #1 (only 1 scan per day counts) or if you don't have a green bag tag, buy one for $1.  For every 4 visits you get $1 ECB so it really pays for itself & you're saving the environment by not using a plastic bag!

I was working this deal for my mom who is a coca-cola addict & trying to find the least oop for her to spend (she's a coupon newbie too!)  I hope it helps you as well!  Of course it would be an even better deal if you already have ECB's to roll. :)

CVS & Rite Aid Shopping Trip

Ran out today to do errands.  Only made it to CVS & Rite Aid- will try for more tomorrow.

CVS

Used $6 ECB's

Spent $.86 oop with tax (.49)

Got back $6.99 in ECB's ($1 green bag tag)

 

 

 

They were out of the Oral B/ Crest deals.

RevitaLens= free after ECB

Got my $1/1 CVS wipes from the red coupon machine.

Valentines were 90% off so the Toy Story Mailbox was a filler (instead of candy!) so I could use more ECB's vs cash.

 

 

 

Rite Aid

Used $7 Up Rewards
Spent $2.01 oop with tax (1.04)
Got back $4 in Up Rewards

 

 

Combo's Free after $1 Up

Dawn free after $1 P&G coupon book mailer

Febreze $1 each after sale, coupon stack & Up rewards I was lucky enough to find bottles with a bonus travel bottle & Mr. Clean Eraser on them!

Valentines were 75% off- got 2 packs with pencils for Big Thrift who starts Kindergarten in the fall. Not the best deal compared to yellow pencils & back to school sales but hey- these are cooler! :)

 

The cashier at Rite Aid was impressed I only spent $2 for everything.  We talked (about couponing!) for a min & I shared a .50 dawn q with her (last one I had) so she could get a deal (she said she was out of it at home).  I shared the blog with her & invited her to join us so she could get great $2 deals as well! THAT is why I do this blog.  I want everyone to know about coupons & saving $!

 

 

Let me know if you have any questions- I'd love to help you get some great deals as well!

My 4 stop shopping trip today

I made 4 stops today (with the boys as usual) with hopes that the deals would not be sold out like they normally are when I wait till the end of the week to go out.  Didn't quite work that way but I ended up with some good deals, rolled my expiring ECB's, UP's & RR's, used a few rain checks and I can stop at different stores later this week when I hit the other side of town.

Food Lion
Spent $1.73 oop with tax
Remember the Land O Lakes butter MIR I told you about last week?  I am going to do that to make this an even better deal!

Spent $7.99 oop with tax

Got back $11.58 in ECB's

I got a BOGO Snickers coupon from scanning my CVS card at the red coupon machine. (Daddy Thrift's fav)

The Colgate was in the ad (& shelf) as 3.50 each but rang up at $2.49 and I found bonus packs with a free toothbrush.  I used 2  .75 coupons & still got my UP for $3.50 each!  Woohoo!

The other items are in this week's ad.

Walgreens

Arnicare month long deal $5.99 & get $6 RR (look inside the box for $1.50 q)
3 Disney books on Valentines clearance for .25 each used as fillers.

Diapers are in this week's ad.  Check out the deal here. Note- it took me FOREVER to find them in my store.  Nobody even knew what I was talking about till I finally talked to the manager.  He had given them to the pharmacy (I don't know why the pharmacy but anyway) and they had them under the counter. He gave me 3 copies for my trouble.  When I went to use the diaper q at checkout, the cashier just entered the coupon # like they do from the monthly q book. She let me keep the q!  :-) They're good all year & you know there will be more diaper deals. Score!

Let me know if you have any questions- I'd love to help you get some great deals as well!
