CVS deals 9/27 - 10/3

I LOVE the CVS deals this week. They have an awesome P&G promotion--buy $25 of participating P&G products get $10ECBs. With some great coupon out there (including the $5 off $25 purchase for doing a flu survey here) I was able to get a great deal.

Here are 2 potential scenarios for the P&G promotion (I did the 2nd--although the first makes everything potentially free, I wanted some of the Tide detergent)

Scenario 1

Buy 3 Bounce Dryer Bars at $4 each

Buy 3 Tide Stain Release Liquid or Duo pack at $4 each

Buy 1 Dawn plus Hand Renewal Soap (11oz) at $1

Use 3 $1.50/1 Bounce Dryer Bars from VocalPoint Mailer

Use 3 $1.50/1 Tide Stain Release from Mailer (I can't remember which one it was, but it was the one that had the Gymboree coupon too that came out in the mail a couple of weeks ago--I found extra in our trash can from other tenants)

Use $1 off 1 Dawn Hand Renewal Soap from the Home Made Simple mailer

Use $5/$25 CVS coupon for doing the flu survey

Spend $10 oop, get $10 ECB making it free

Scenario 2

Buy 2 Tide Liquid Detergents at $6 each

Buy 3 of the Tide Stain Release or Bounce Dryer Bars (whatever combo you want) at $4 each

Buy1 Dawn Hand Renewal

Use Tide Stain Release, Bounce Dryer Bars, and Dawn Hand Renewal coupons stated above

Use 2 $1.00 Tide Detergent coupons from the 8/30 PG insert (exp 9/30)

Use $5/25 CVS coupon for flu survey

(If you don't have the coupons from the vocal point mailer or the other for the tide stain release, there are $0.75/1 Tide stain release and $1/1 Bounce dryer bar coupons in the 8/30 PG insert (both expire 9/30) )

Spend $12.50 OOP, get $10 ECB (essentially spending only $2.50 for everything)

There is also a good Covergirl deal this week: Buy $15 of Covergirl products get $5ECB.

Buy 1 foundation/powder for $6-7 and get another Covergirl product priced over $8-9 (whatever it takes to get over the $15 mark)

Use the Buy one Covergirl Foundation get Face Product Free Coupon from the 8/30 PG (exp 9/30).

Use $1/1 Covergirl product from 8/30 PG

Spend $5-6 OOP, get $5 ECB making it essentially free or close to it

Other deals I liked this week:

Buy 1 Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion at $7.99, Get $7 ECBs (3-day deal only: Sun-Tues)

Use $1.50/1 printable here, here, here or here

Free plus overage after coupons and ECBs

Buy 1 Gillette Fusion, Embrace, or Spa Breeze Razor at $9.99, Get $5 ECBs

Use $4/1 coupon from the 9/27 P&G insert

$0.99 after coupons and ECBs

During my trip I did 3 transactions, made use of the $5/25 flu survey coupon as well as a $5/$20 coupon that CVS emailed me as a reward for joining their email list and came out with this:

Invested $11 ECB from previous weeks

Spent $3.47 OOP subtotal ($7.19 with the tax--I'm not a huge fan of the tax :)

Saved 91% over the $77.10 retail value

Earned $15 ECB to use for my next visit
