Here was my CVS Trip for today. At the risk of sounding far older than my 32 years, I was excited about the Aleve and Ben Gay deals this week! If you spend as much time in front of the computer as I do, I am sure you understand.
So here is what I did:
Bought 4 Nivea Body Wash/Shower Gel at $4.88
Bought 1 Aleve at $5.99
Bought 1 Ben Gay at $5.99
Subtotal: $31.50
Used $4/20 CVS coupon from an email
Used $2/2 Body Wash coupon
Used $1/1 Aleve from 5/2 SS
Used $2/1 Ben Gay from 5/2 SS
Used (3) $4/1 Nivea from 5/2 RP
Used Buy One Get One Free Nivea from All You *(this did beep and the cashier pushed it through)
New total: $5.62- I used $5.50 in ECBs and paid $1.61 which was mostly tax)
Then I got back $5 in ECBs for Nivea, $2 for Ben Gay, and $3 for Aleve- so my profit for this trip was $2.89.
This is what I love about the drugstores. We actually needed the Aleve and last week I nearly spent $5.99 on it. Now this week I not only got paid to buy them but I also got all of those other items that we will use as well!
So my opinion is that it isn’t just what you can get for free, but rather how to utilize these awesome programs to get the products that your family needs.
Can you please explain why I didn’t get the $4/1 Nivea coupon like the rest of the world? I live in Columbia, and it seems like others got it here. It seems like my paper is continually missing the “good” coupons. I get very frustrated!
Thanks for your website. I am getting some good deals!
I was at CVS tonight and got the Reach floss BOGOF, used $1 coupon also which I think beeped but the cashier put it through, although I thought the BOGOF was coded to attach to one…
Anyways about the Nivea, I did get the $2 off 2 body wash crt printed (yay) so I plan to hopefully get another tomorrow, and I was going to do the Nivea deal 3x at CVS since I have 2 cards and hubby has 1. I was thinking of doing one transaction of 4 mens body washes which are $3.99 ($15.96) using 4 $3 coupons to make it $3.96 , then the $2 off crt, = $1.96. Can you use more than 1 of the same crt coupon? Like use (2) $2 off 2 body washes on 4 of them?
I went to CVS yesterday for my FIRST experience at all of this. I walked away a happy girl too … 2 Body Wash, 2 Lip Balm, Aleve and an 8 ct of batteries .. paid a little over $10 BUT received $8 ECB .. wheee!!!! This is like a drug … can hardly wait for next week’s “fix” 🙂 Thank you so much for all you do to help all of us save money each week.
Can I do the Nivea ECB deal again if I have done it in the past 2 weeks when they have also had the Nivea on sale? I’m not always certain if the deals reset each week or if it goes by quarter.
I also did not get the Nivea $4 off coupon, but I still have some $2/1, so I will use those and get the lip gloss instead of the 4 body washes! Still a good deal just not as good as the $4 off!
I did the Nivea deal today and noticed I could do it again on the summary at the bottom of my receipt. Not sure why – is this true for everyone? I was excited. I did one of my deals with the men’s bodywash. I also scanned my card and got $2/2 CRT for any soap or bodywash. I stacked it with my mfr q’s for the second deal. Thanks for all you do to help us!
Here’s what I did. I am not to the BenGay point in my life yet so I improvised on your plan:
CVS
Bought 4 Nivea Body Wash/Shower Gel at $4.88
Bought 1 Aleve at $5.99
Bought 2 Sensodyne Iso Active
Subtotal: $35.49 (38.41 w/ tax)
Used $5/30 CVS coupon from an email
Used (2) $2/2 Body Wash coupon–I stopped by CVS on my way home earlier in the day to see what CRTs I got and got the $2/2 one. Then when I scanned it that night while shopping, I got another one!
Used $1/1 Aleve from 5/2 SS
Used (2)1/1 Sensodyne 5/2 SS
Used (4) $4/1 Nivea from 5/2 RP
New total: $10.41- I used 10 ecbs, paid .41 tax
Then I got back $5 in ECBs for Nivea, $5 for Sensodyne, and $3 for Aleve- so my profit for this trip was 3.00, and it’s all stuff I use (especially the Sensodyne!)And by the way, even though my total for the Sensodyne was 14.98, the ecbs printed out.
oops, I meant Sensodyne total was 9.98, not 14.98
