CVS Coupons

I am not sure if you regularly visit CVS or if you have seen the Price Checker/Coupons Center machine. Our CVS did not have one until late last year.

I scan my card each time I visit CVS. It prints coupons each day for to use in the store.  The coupons vary each week.  Many times the coupons will be for products that are on sale or will be on sale soon.  Sometimes you will get $/$$ coupons (like $4 off a $20 purchase).  Sometimes it is for CVS products.  I think each day you scan your card, you will get 2 coupons that expire in 1 week.  You can scan your card more than once each day until it says you have no more coupons for today.

A few weeks ago, one of the coupons was $1 off CVS hair care.  Well, some CVS Shampoo is $0.99.  Also recently, the coupons were $1 CVS paper product and $1 off CVS skin care product.  I used the CVS paper product coupon on paper towel and got them for $0.29 and on 2 travel tissues and got them for free.  The CVS skin care coupon, I mostly used on travel size lotion and got it for free.  The week these great coupons printed, I made it a point to go in each day and scan my card.

I Heart CVS  has a list of coupons that are printing each week.

So next time you are in CVS, look for this machine, scan your card and see what coupons you are given.

CVS - Thanksgiving Day

I went to CVS early on Thanksgiving Day. I wanted to take advantage of some of the deals they were having. Here is a picture of what I got:


I did it in 3 separate transactions.

In the first transaction, my total was $54.91 before coupons. I used $17.55 in coupons and $35.99 in ECBs. I paid $2.05 out of pocket. I earned $28.94 in ECBs.

In the second transaction, my total was $40.36 before coupons. I used $17.55 in coupons and $21.91 in ECBs. I paid $1.39 out of pocket. I earned $17.17 in ECBs.

In the third transaction, my total was $33.95 before coupons. I used $4.00 in coupons and $24.16 in ECBs. I paid $6.55 out of pocket. I earned $33.95 in ECBs.

I did not do as good as I should have, but I ended up spending less than $10 in cash and I have $33.95 in ECBs to spend later. After looking at my receipts, I can see I could have rearranged my transactions and spent less out of pocket. I am still learning.

Did you shop CVS on Thanksgiving? What did you get?
