cvs trip and coupons galore

I hit CVS on my lunchbreak today and had a very profitable trip!

First things first – I ALWAYS stop and scan my CVS card at the coupon kiosk. Sometimes I get coupons…sometimes not. Today was a good day and the machine spit out a $5 off $20 purchase coupon good for 3 days only.

Among the first items to enter my cart were the bottles of Dawn soap on sale 2 for $2. When I bought two with my ECB card, I got $1ECB back…final cost $1.00 for 2!

Next I snagged two bags of the CVS brand candy. On another trip I had scanned my card at the coupon kiosk and received a $1 off 2 bags coupon. The bags were on sale for $.99 so the final cost with my coupon was 50 cents a bag. The candy is going into the Easter baskets for the kids.

I also took advantage of the TG Lee milk deal, buying 2 gallons and getting $2 in ECB back, making my final price $2 per gallon. And we go through a LOT of milk in our house!

I snagged a SpeedStick deoderant for Jim – on sale for $2.99 with $1 in EBC back making my final price $.99!

I used 2 new Softsoap coupons on a new dispenser and refill and got a free bottle of Suave with a coupon I received in the mail. I also used a few ECB from previous purchases, making my out of pocket for today only $14.59 (including tax) and I received $12 ECB for future purchases!

    Coupon Kiosk?

    Where are those? I always shop CVS and use my card at the register, but I haven’t noticed a coupon kiosk in mine.

    It’ll be a small red stand about 4 1/2 feet high near the front of the store. You can use it to scan an item for a price check or to scan your CVS card for additional coupons.
