  • we generally call it playin the CVS game. its all about matching coupons to deals to get the ECBs and rol them overso you get hundreds in stuff with very little out of pocket. there is a CVS/walgreens group on cafemom which you should join. there is also a sticky thread at the top of THIS group that discusses it. you can ask questions and i wil do my best to help you learn!

  • Let me tell you about a steal i got. I was out with my husband looking for empty cardboard boxes to pack some things we went to a local retail pharmacy dumpster and there were a bunch of bags full of greeting cards. we brought them home sorted into catergories and we have over 1000 thats right thousand greeting cards which we will be giving to family and friends so everyone can enjoy this find if i were to have kept them all i would never have needed to buy another card in my life. i think i am going to start going by there periodically to see what other brand new items they trash.

    I have to tell everyone!!!  I got over $60 in stuff FREE today and ended up with $15 in overage!  Walgreens has something called EasySaver books filled with coupons and rebates.  Today and tomorrow you can use the EasySaver from August and the one for September on your purchases.  Plus there is an online printable coupon for $10 off you purchase!!!

    Here's what I got for free:

     

    You can check out my blog to see how I did it: http://momsbyheart.blogspot.com

    NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A DEAL!

  • I went to Fred Meyer last night, and checked the clearance baskets like always. They had the Venus Embrace showerpod pack in there, normally $10.99 but half off. Plus I had a $2 off coupon so it came out to around $3.50. It was one of those college type packs that they always have around this time. It came with the handle, two cartridges, a bottle of shave gel, a 1oz body lotion, the pod to keep it in the shower, and a cover for the blades so you can take it with you. At the register where they have all the impluse items, they had the same razor with just one cartridge for $10.99.

    So I saved $7.50 and got a bunch of free extras! I wish I could find deals like this on just the cartridges though.

    Chemistry Hair Product 5.99 (Sept ES)

    TOTAL:  42.70

    ________________________________________

    COUPONS/Rebates Used:

    Wal-greens $10 off purchase of $40 (Use this first!!)

    $1 off Chemistry Product (at the beauty counter on a coupon pad they have behind the counter)

    August ES Rebates:  5.99
