Shopping Trip: CVS and Safeway

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.

I wanted to test this deal just to be sure it would work.  It did work for me- but it is a bit of an unusual transaction so hopefully it works for everyone.

CVS: $8.22

Bought 1 box of Candy Canes at .50
Bought 4 Zhu Zhus at $9.99- Buy One Get One Free this week
Used Buy 2 Get 1 Free coupon
Total: $11.22 and used $3 ECB (so $2.68 per pet)

Check the CVS weekly deals for more information.

SAFEWAY: $8.45
5 boxes Honey Bunches of Oats $1.69 with in ad coupon

Paid $8.45 and got back a $4 cat= $4.45 or .89 a box

I did see the Kellogg’s offer at my store- so that might be a better deal for you.

    Thank you so much for posting about the Zhu Zhu pets. I had seen the buy 2 get 1 coupon but didn’t think it was such a great deal until you posted this. As soon as I saw I could get four for the price of one I printed my coupon and drove to my CVS (less then a mile away) before it closed to grab these for my kids and niece and nephews. Thank you so much!!!!

    Thanks for the Safeway deal. My husband loves HBofO and it’s always so expensive. Now I can stock up!

    CVS straddles the current week’s sale and the next week’s sale Saturday night. I am not sure if this is true for all stores, but it has always been the case at my store. Generally, I can get the next week’s deals Saturday after 6 pm.

    Hi Charlene,
    Had a hard time with the cashiers here in Florida as they could not understand how I would still use the coupon when I already have two free. Got lucky with one though, finally. Thank you for the matchup.

    I live in Virginia and had a manager ring me up today and there was no problem whatsoever. I was so pleased to get 2 ZhuZhu pets as well as 2 Ninja warrior armors. After my EB’s from black Friday I was able to get it all for only 1.96! So happy!! Thanks for posting.

    I went to my CVS on Sat night. they said that a lot of the next weeks deals were not activated correctly and the zhu zhu pets had a limit of 2 on the BOGO(sounds like it was just my store) so I bought 3 and paid for one. With my coupons and ecb from black friday I paid .62. I was happy. Thanks for the coupon
