I have the ad in hand but don't have time to give all the details. But I want to highlight a few good deals that have IP Q's you will need to print & take with you.

Aveeno Anti Itch Cream $4.49=$2Ecb (limit 5)

Addicted or Not?

Last night I had to go into town to "work". My daughter was with me and we had about 30 minutes to kill. So what can you do in 30 minutes? Well, I had an idea. I headed for my destination and my daughter began to whine, "Not again! No!" Where was I headed? Right, CVS. I needed to check out what they had on clearance and see what kind of CRT's I could get.


Card #1
3 Airborne Squid Kid Hand Soap-Clearance $1ea
-$3 ECB
$0 OOP


Card#2
1 Breath Right Strips-Clearance $1.50
1 Snore Relief-Clearance $5
-$1 Breath Right Q
-$2 Snore Relief Peelie
-$3ECB
$0.50 OOP (on G.C.)


Then today, I had about an hour to kill before I had to be to work, so again I headed for CVS. I wanted to see if they had the makeup pads that are a moneymaker but no such luck. The good news is that the manager gave me the next 2 weeks ads & the March monthly ad! YEAH!! So I will be posting those soon...I hope. Anyway, here is what I got today:

Card #1
1-Gallon Milk $3.49
1-OFF Family Wipes-Clearance $0.59
-$4 ECB
$0.08 OOP (on G.C.)

Card #2
1-Toddler Clogs-Clearance $0.99
1-Renuzit Triscent Refill $5.49
-$4 Renuzit Q
-$2 ECB
$0.52 OOP (on G.C.)
Earned $2 ECB

Card #3

1-Renuzit Triscent Refill $5.49

-$4 Renuzit Q

-$2 ECB

$0.53 OOP (on G.C.)

So my question is, am I addicted or not?

Not much but every little bit helps! So get a few papers or ask friends/family for their coupons!

Super Shopping @ CVS!

Man, I hit SO many CVS stores yesterday!! I had to go to Mansfield so I hit 2 CVS stores there. Both stores had one of those "magic" red machines but only one was working. These "magic" machines spit out coupons when you scan your card. No purchase necessary! We don't have any of those "magic" machines here in Waco. One one card I got the usual $10/$50 and something else, and on the other card I got a $5/$30! I haven't seen one of those in forever! I was excited. I finally found 3 of the Mylantas that are moneymakers! They were on clearance for $3.65 and I had one $4/2 & one $1/1 MF Q!

Then when we got back to Waco, I went to my FAVORITE CVS in Woodway. I got most of my sales from 2/15-2/21 & the 2/22-2/28 ad. I also scored the Neutrogena bar soap deal! Oh, and the limit for the Colgate moneymaker was actually 5, so I had to grab all 5 on my 3 cards.

I was very tired at the end of the day, but I got some great deals and even made money! How cool is that?

I did so many transactions yesterday that it would have been very difficult to take a picture of each one so here is just one picture of everything I got. (Sorry it's a little blurry.)

I did miss about $10 worth of coupons but I am happy with how much I "spent".

Awesome CVS Trip!

My mom & I went to CVS today to see if they had the Neutrogena Facial Bar Soap that is a moneymaker this week and to turn in my order. As we were checking out, the manager came around and said he was about to have a HUGE clearance sale! He waited for me to check out and then took me around to show what he wanted to mark down and by how much. So I told him to call me as soon as the sales were in effect. About an hour and a half later, he calls to say it is ready! How great is that? So my mom and I rushed back and man, did we have fun!! We got $435.83 worth of products for 60 cents!!!!

See!!! It took 2 pictures to get it all!!! There is WAY too much to list but some of the highlights are:

• 6-Color change egg shaped clocks reg. price 9.99 sale .99ea
• 2-4 pk. williow baskets w/cloth inserts reg. price 12.99 sale 1.29ea
• 4-quilted tote bags reg. price 17.99 sale 1.79ea
• 3-quilted duffle bags reg. price 19.99 sale 1.99ea
• 2-ladies slippers reg. price 9.99 sale .99ea

I did 2 transactions on 2 cards and used 35.49+7.49 in ECBs. Not bad for all that stuff!

Again, that's not all we got. There was a lot more. I also did 2 transactions on Saturday and one transaction the first time we went in today but I forgot to take pictures, sorry. But this round was WAY better anyway!!!

Isn't it great to be in the right place at the right time?!

CVS 101

Here are a few things you need to know to become successful at the CVS game. Trust me, it really is a game. You never know what products will actually be available, what you can find on clearance or if the limits listed in the ad really are the limits! Read on for tips to get you started.

• First thing you need to do is get a CVS Extra Care card. You can get one in the store or online.


• Second, go online and register your card with your email. CVS will periodically send you coupons to print for $/$$ (ex: $5/$25). This will really increase your savings.


• Be sure you know your limits! If a product is giving Extra Care Bucks but has a limit of 1, you don't want to buy 2. But wait, sometimes the real limits are higher than the ad states! That's why it is important to read the bottom of your receipt. It will tell you when you have reached the limit for Extra Care Bucks. So always look at the bottom of your receipt!


• You do not have to do a buy $$ get $ ECB in one deal, you can split it up. For example, if Olay Ribbons body wash is buy $20 get $10 ECB, you can spend $10 in one transaction and then the other $10 in another transaction. The bottom of your receipt will let you know how much you need to meet the requirements for the deal.
• If a deal has a limit of 5 that will produce ECB's for all 5 items, you may want to do them in seperate transactions. Example: toothpaste is on sale $2.50 and is giving $2 ECB with a limit of 5. If you buy all 5 in one transaction you will get 1 ECB for $10. This may be harder to use after you learn how to work your deals. Smaller ECB's are always easier to use. If you did 5 seperate transactions for the toothpaste you would get 5 seperate ECB's of $2 each.
• You can use a Manufacture coupon and CVS coupon in the same transaction. For example: if you have a coupon for toothpaste and you have a CRT (Cash Register Tape) for that toothpaste, you can use both coupons at the same time.
• Combining sales with Manufacture coupons and/or CVS coupons could mean the item will be FREE or a MoneyMaker!! So keep your eyes open and check my blog for these!
• Know how to hand over your coupons:

1.) $/$$

2.) MF Q

3.) CVS Q

4.) ECB's

5.) cash (if any)

• And most importantly, be nice to your cashier, the manager and other shoppers. If you have multiple transactions or a really big one, let other shoppers check out first.

There you have it! Now go out and try your hand at CVSing! But beware, it is addicting!!!
