After not stepping a foot into CVS in about 2 months, I could not pass up their diapers deal this past week, especially since I had around $28 in expired Extra Care Bucks to use (My local CVS accepts expired Extra Care Bucks).
I was also happy to get two tubes of fluoride-free Tom’s of Maine toothpaste for only $0.99 each after Extra Care Bucks! This is my family’s favorite toothpaste, and it’s rather expensive at $3.99+ without a sale or coupons. I have to be careful when I buy this toothpaste, though. Not all Tom’s of Maine is fluoride-free, so I always have to make sure to read the labeling to make sure I’m buying the fluoride-free variety.
$0.87 Cadbury Caramel Egg (Three of the kids shared this egg. I’m not a fan of these gooey eggs, but I gave in and let the kids try it. I did put it in the fridge for a while so that the caramel inside wouldn’t be so gooey when they bit into it.)
-$0.87 Extra Care Bucks when you buy one
=FREE after ECBsΒ
$3.99 Tom’s of Maine fluoride-free toothpaste
-$3.00 Extra Care Bucks when you buy one (There was a purchase limit of 2, so I bought 2.)
=$0.99 after ECBs
Diaper Deal:
$27.96 for (4) packs of Luvs diapers
$3.00 for (1) pack of Pampers Baby Wipes
-$0.50 manufacturer’s coupon for the Pamper’s Wipes
-$10.00 Extra Care Bucks for spending $30 on these baby products
=$20.46 after ECBs
As I mentioned, I had around $28 in ECBs to use when I walked in the store, so after everything was rung up, I paid $14.38 out of pocket (with tax). I got back $18.37 in Extra Care Bucks for next time!
The ECBs I received back were as follows…
$0.50 for my Fall spending ECBs
$1.00 for using a reusable bag with a CVS Bag Tag, which was scanned at the register
$6.00 for the 2 tubes of Tom’s of Maine toothpaste
$0.87 for the Cadbury Caramel egg
$10.00 for the diaper deal since I spent over $30 on baby items
All these ECBs totaled $18.37. π
Did you get any great deals this week? I’d love to hear about it!Β
You got some great deals at CVS. We don’t have CVS where I live. But I did get 2 Stayfree pads at Rite Aid and made $2 in UP rewards. I also got $.99 dozen eggs at Walgreens, they were all out of the snickers Valentines candy so I missed out on that deal. We have a very coupon friendly Walgreens near my house and they can sometimes sell out of the sales items the first few hours of the sale.
Hi Shelly,
I can totally relate to Walgreens being out of stuff. There seem to be lots of other couponers in my area that clear shells a lot of the time. I usually don’t mind this unless it’s something that I really need like diapers or dishwasher detergent.
I wish we had a Rite Aid in our area. It would be nice to try out their deals!
Oh wow, I wish I had gotten that diaper deal! Sometimes I just need a break from the shopping trips, but then I always miss something good π
Erin,
I can totally relate! I’ve missed many deals by staying home, but it’s worth it when I know that going out means that I’ll usually have 5 children with me. π
Diaper deals, though, are the kind of deals I try to keep a look out for and would make a special trip to buy because we currently have 3 kids in diapers – 2 of them use diapers at night and the baby, of course, uses them all the time.
