So after earning a $3 Beauty Buck ECB I had a grand total of $27 in ECBS as well as a metric shit ton of CRTs expiring 11/11/20 so I was compelled to go to CVS and bring stuff home with me for as close to free as possible. This is always a crapshoot for me, the getting it as close to having to pay Zero OOP at CVS.
But I got to say that I did surprisingly well on this trip with a low OOP after sale prices/coupons/ECBs used.
I was trying to get to $60 overall before any discounts as I got a $8 off wys $60 CRT along with all my other CRTS/Qs. Of course I "wanted" to do the Babo toilet paper deal as well, but do you think CVS would give me a CRT/Q for that? Of course not!
I made a sort of plan but then I had to punt once I got into the store as they were out of some items in the plan.
Here is what I ended up with......
3 x Pantene on sale=$12.00
1 x Tide pods on sale=$4.94
2 x Oral-B toothbrush on sale=$5.98
2 x Crest toothpaste on sale=$9.98
1 x Cheerios yellow box on sale=$2.99
*The above qualifed for the $10ECB wys $30 Deal*
2 x Head and Shoulders on sale=$12.00
1 x Maybelline Baby Lips=$4.79 *part of Maybelline Deal*
1 x Maybelline Eyeliner=$7.29 *Ditto*
2 x Cover Girl brow pencils=$12.98 *part of Cover Girl Deal*
SubTotal.........$72.95
I had $51.36 in CRTs, 2 x $2/1 Cover Girl ManuQs so $55.36 in discounts(a $1/1 Q reduced to .86¢)and the register used $18 of my $27 in ECBS(a $5 ECB was reduced to $4.59 because I had no more total to use it against). $49.06 of what I "spent" counted toward more Beauty Bucks so I already got a $3 in Beauty Bucks in my account but it expires 11/17, in FIVE days!? wtf. I only need $5+ to earn an additional Beauty Buck too.
Total paid OOP was .03¢ in sales tax.
I earned back $21 in new ECBs($10 wys $30, $6 wyb2 Cover Girl, $5 wys $12 on Maybelline)and I still have $9 in old ECBs plus the $3 Beauty Buck so I'm at $33 in ECBS after all this.
I'll need to go back next week to use a $3 ECB and a $3 Beauty Buck.
Do you get the CRTs you want at CVS?
Sluggy
What's a CRT? LOL. No, I occasionally pair Extra bucks with the coupon, and that's about as good as it gets for me. The win is that the store is almost empty all the time and I don't feel a need to dodge people.
ReplyDeleteWow that is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteCVS makes my brain hurt trying to do deals there. So I just try to roll small ecbs for stuff I need. And no, I don't get good coupons but they give me plenty of depends and poise coupons for some reason. :)
Very good. I have never gotten under a dollar so there is still hope.
ReplyDeleteconfused so confused.
ReplyDeleteWell done, you beat them this time!
ReplyDeleteI do not!
