This week’s deals weren’t too too exciting at CVS, but thanks to some Walgreen’s coupons and some Rite Aid coupons, which my local CVSes take, I was able to do pretty well with the ECB deals AND get some things I needed. (Or am addicted to. Ahem.) Here’s what I got on my first transaction:

Joshua has to take Claritin every day for his seasonal allergies, and I use the kind of toothbrush that these replacement heads go with so I was excited that they were on ECBs!
Claritin syrup $5.99
2 Oral B power toothbrush replacement head packs $5.99 each (get back 3 ECBs each)
total = $17.97
coupons used:
CVS $3/$15 (expired 6/14 but my CVS will take it for 2 weeks)
$1 off Claritin Walgreens EasySaver catalog coupon
$1 off Claritin manufacturer coupon (got from a SmartSource machine at CVS)
B1G1 Free Oral B replacement head coupon
Two $3 off Oral B replacement head Walgreens EasySaver catalog

Total= 98 cents before tax. I didn’t have an ECB that small, so I paid $2.03 cash including tax and got back 6 ECB for the toothbrush heads!!

This next transaction I did because I was out of Mountain Dew and I really, really, really needed some!

I got:
12-pack Mountain Dew $4.59
Tylenol $3.99
500 count CVS cotton swabs $3.19
Almay mascara $6.99
Two Dove travel-size deodorants 99 cents each
Total= $20.74
Coupons:
CVS $3/$15 coupon
$2 CVS skincare purchase
$2 off Rite Aid Almay coupon
$1 off Almay manufacturers coupon
$1 off Tylenol
$1.50 off Pain Reliever CRT (I FINALLY got a CRT after over 2 months without one!! Did CVS read my plea??)
Total = $10.24. I paid with 9.49 ECB and $1.48 cash and got back 9 ECB (5 for Almay, 2 for Tylenol and 2 for the cotton swabs)! Mmm….$1.48 for a 12 pack of my sweet, sweet Dew! SCORE! The Dove deodorants also count toward the monthly Dove deal that I am sloooowly working on completing.

Finally, I just did this transaction to make ECBs. 🙂

4 EAS protein bars at $1.50 each (get back 3 ECB when you buy 4)
CVS 500 count cotton swabs $3.19
Almay mascara $6.99
Dove chocolate bar (as a bribe special treat for Joshua) 79 cents
Total = $16.97
Coupons:
CVS $3/$15
Four $1 EAS bar coupons
$2 off Rite Aid Almay coupon
$2 off CVS skincare coupon
Total = $5.97. I paid with 5 ECB and 99 cents cash and got back 10 ECB! Oot! Oot!

If you live in the Dayton area, a great way to get Rite Aid coupons is by registering at My Rite Aid. You will be emailed a confirmation,and when you confirm your account, you will get to print $50 worth of coupons. Since many of our CVSes take competitor coupons, this is a great resource! That is how I got the Almay Rite Aid coupons.

Lastly, thanks to Crystal at Money Saving Mom, I got this:

One adorable, thrilled little boy with TWO new Thomas Wooden trains from Toys R Us – FREE! Crystal posted a coupon on this post to get this free yesterday. The coupon is limit one per customer so Bobby and I both bought a train. We paid only tax 71 cents for each train! We could have saved them for a special occasion, but we just wanted to thrill him. After all, Christmas is a long way off and his birthday isn’t until February!

Well, I am OUT of deals to share, so go check out all the other dealin’ divas at CVS Superstars at the Centsible Sawyer and of course Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom!
