CVS deals week of 1/27 – 2/2

Another week of disappointing CRTs. whomp whomp.

I made a video of my shopping trip this week. You can watch it (https://youtu.be/zv8PLSoYIvw) here.

1. Huggies Pull ups Buy 1 get 1 50% off and spend $20 get $5 ECBs

Buy (2) Pull ups any size $13.49 + $6.74 = $20.23 – use (2) $2 off huggies pull ups from 1/6 SS = Pay $16.24 and receive $5 ECB. Then submit your receipt to Ibotta (2) $2.50 with a limit of two. Final price $6.23 for both!

I went shopping on Monday of this week and thought this was a pretty awesome deal, but when I woke up on Tuesday morning I noticed 4 new CRTs in my app that weren’t there on Sunday (which is when we receive new CRTs for the week). And what do you know I now have a $3 off a $15 baby care, diapers, wipes purchase. Timing is everything lol. In any case if you have a similar CRT use that with your deal Pay $13.24 and receive $5 ECB and then submit to Ibotta for $5.00 since we bought two packs making the final price $3.24 for both. That’s a steal!

CVS deals week of 1/6 – 1/12

Welcome back friends! CVS is on fire this week. There are deals for hair care, paper products, make up, candy, vitamins, and lots of freebies.

I’m still having issues with printing instant coupons from the Red Box machine. I called customer service and they explained that after the most recent upgrade the software is randomly allowing some people to print their instant coupons and not others. They didn’t offer any solutions or ETA on when they expect to resolve it.

1. Olly gummy vitamins – Spend $15 get $5 ECB

My store has a wide selection, all priced for $14.99 which is enough to trigger the ECB, some were priced $15.49 in case your store doesn’t follow the 98% rule.

Buy 1 Olly vitamin for $14.99 – Use (-$3) from the 1/6 SS = Pay $11.99 and receive $5 ECB. Submit your receipt to Ibotta for $3 rebate. Final price $3.99

I had a personalized CRT for $3 off $15 vitamin purchase which made my final cost $0.99 after ECBs and rebate!!

I had a personalized CRT for $3 off $15 any One a Day or Flinstones vitamins so I paid nothing and the CRT adjusted down since my total was less than the value. FREE!

3. General Mills cereal $1.99 – Buy 2 & get $0.50 ECB

CVS deals week of 12/30 – 1/5

Happy New Year! 2019, hope you will be kind to me 🙂

If you are a just starting out to coupon and feeling overwhelmed by the amount of deals and freebies and savings out there, there is no need to panic. I suggest picking a store and focusing on deals in that store only. Until you are more comfortable and your confidence builds. I LOVE CVS. It is the easiest store to get a few deals each week, and the only store that allows “moneymaker deals” ie when you wind up with more ECBs than what your started with. Also CVS is really good at tracking your purchase history, and tailoring the store coupons to your shopping, which you can combine with manufacturer coupons. I also love CVS because you don’t need to have a paper coupon to do some deals, since you can add a digital version to your card/account and still save.

Let’s begin with a few simple deals for this week. You have until Saturday January 5 to go to the store and make the purchases

1. P&G spend $30, get $10 ECBs (limit 1)

Buy:

1 Pampers Easy Ups + 1 Pampers Cruisers (or other diapers, excludes Pure) 2 for $20

1 Tide Pods $4.94 + 1 Tide Liquid $5.94

Subtotal $30.88

Coupons used:

-$4 off two bags diapers or training pants (January P&G 12/30 insert)

-$2 off Tide pods (january P&G 12/30) or digital in the app load to card

-$2 off Tide liquid (january P&G 12/30) or digital in the app

-$3 off $15 diaper, wipes or baby purchase (personalized coupon/CRT)

Pay $19.88 and receive $10 ECB (or $2.47 per item)

***If you have ECB from a previous purchase use them to reduce your out of pocket amount AND you will still receive your ECB

I bought these products for my family, but if you don’t need diapers, you can easily substitute with paper products or shampoo/conditioner, etc.
