Calling all CVS virgins!



Ok all you CVS virgins! This blog's for you. I wanted to tell you about a simple CVS scenario to get you started in the wonderful world of CVS. This will also let you start a deodorant stockpile. Now, don't get scared away at the word stockpile. I am not talking bomb shelter stockpile! It just makes more sense to buy 6 deodorants all at one time for .15 each than it does to buy 1 deodorant a month for $2.50 each. Right!? Of course it does! So, get a tote, cause if you get into CVSing, you'll be filling it up in no time and "shopping" from your stockpile rather than the store.
Here is the deal:
Starting this Sunday CVS will give you $5 in Extra Care Bucks(ECBs) when you buy $15 in Dove or Degree products. This is also a great way to get your first ECBs that you can then use to "roll" each week.
Here's what you do:
Buy 6 Degree deodorants at $2.50 each
Use 3 of these coupons $3/2 Degree deodorants
I printed 2 Degree Girl ones, and one Degree Men. Print the ones you will use more. You can print each coupon 2 times per computer. Just hit your back button and click resend after the first coupon prints to get a second print.
Total due: $6+tax
Get back $5 ECB's!

Save your ECB's for the next deal that gets you more ECB's and keep rolling them over and over and over! It's like having CVS currency and you want to buy as much as you can using their currency instead of real money. Make sense?

Now, I want to know who does the deal and how was your "first time?" Was it all you thought it would be.....

Happy Saving!

Wish we had a CVS around here. I remember them from when I lived in Pittsburgh. Awesome! We do have Rite Aid and Walgreens, so we're not completely in the sticks!

Keep those deals comin'

Well Beth, get to Rite Aid! I haven't really done too too much drugstore stuff until now. I learned a lot about it at that coupon workshop I went to!
