CVS finds

This week, I wanted to try the CVS thing again. I knew I wasn't ready to jump back into all the craziness that goes with the ECB world (Extra Care Bucks) but, I wanted to try a little something.

So I made two transactions:

1. Colgate Total $3.99
$1.00 off coupon
paid $2.99 and got back 3.99 in ECB

SCORE!

So that's free toothpaste.

2. Pampers on sale for 8.97
$2.00 off coupon
$3.99 off ECB from previous transaction
paid $2.98 and got back 3.00 in ECB

SCORE!

So, that's 3 dollar Pampers!!! And I have $3.00 off the next transaction I make! Yippie! How awesome is that?!!? WHO buys 3 dollar PAMPERS?! Me! That's who! (The size pampers purchased for $2.98 are normally priced at $11.99! Basically a fourth of the normal price!)

I'm going to probably try another two or three CVS finds again this week. I'm NOT in the market for lots of things, I'm not looking to stockpile from CVS currently. But I am looking to find FREE or nearly FREE there and GET those. We have a small growing pile of free toothpastes which is a nice thing to not have to out right buy, wouldn't you say? And this house is no where near diaper-less, so three dollar diapers, pampers at that, is just way cool.


If you want to know how I figured these deals out, I will flat tell you. I Didn't.

But go here! That link will take you over to the CVS archive on the Southernsavers site. If you follow exactly as it tells you with the "Deal Ideas," you can't go wrong! It breaks it down as simplistically as this:

• Transaction #1
  Buy:
  (1) Colgate Total Toothpaste $3.99
  Use:
  (1) -$1 off Colgate Total SS 3/07
  Total Due: $2.99 (pay with US currency)
  Get Back: $3.99 ECB
• Transaction #2
  Buy:
  (1) Pampers Diapers $8.97
  Use
  -$2 off Pampers PG 3/07
  -$3.99 ECB (from #1)
  Total Due: $2.98
  Get Back: $3 ECB

Enjoy your CVS shopping this week! And if you do anything cool (great find, great deals), come back here and post about it in the comments!
