This was a great week for CVSing! I went waaaay more times than is healthy. But I HAD to gets me all the FREE Huggies Supreme I could get my hands on! And yes, I “bought” some for Emily’s little guy too. Additionally, I “bought” Emily 6 shampoo/conditioners and four stylers so I THINK that SOMEONE should take her FREEBIES and STOP MAKING FUN OF ME! 🙂 But anyhoo…here are a couple of my favorite little transactions for the week!
Huggies Supreme $8.99
Rx Essentials Vitamins BOGO Free $14.99 for two
Cadbury eggs for a filler, clearanced at 7 cents
Total = $24.05
Coupons used:
CVS $5/$15 (exp. 3/31 but my CVS takes it til the register no longer accepts it)
CVS $5 off Rx Essentials
Two $5 off Rx Essentials MFR coupons (from coupons.com)
CVS $2 off Huggies Supreme
$1 off Huggies MFR coupon
Total $1.05
I used a $1 ECB, and paid 5 cents plus tax! Woohoo!
Here comes the BEST PART….if you bought $25 worth of Huggies, you got $10 ECBs back. So, I did a variation of the above transaction three times (I had two $1.50 off Huggies coupons and I used different fillers, things we needed such as milk and Advil!), and the third time it spit back a BEAUTIFUL $10 ECB at me!! Yeee-haaaa!
And for my next trick:
5 Sunsilk @ $3.49 each
CVS Brand Rapid Release caplets $3.99
Gerber puffs $1.59
Excedrin back & body $1.99
Reese’s 50 cents (I use this as a filler alot cause it’s hubby’s favorite! But lately I have been eating too many of them!!)
Total = $25.52
Coupons I used:
CVS $5/$15
CVS $3/$15 beauty purchase
Two B1G1 Free Sunsilk coupons
Three $1.50 off Sunsilk coupons
Total = $6.04. I used 6 ECBs and paid 4 cents & tax and got back $9.99 ECBs! Love it!!
Other things we got at CVS this week that we needed & we paid for with ECB’s: Four camp chairs, 2.5 gallons of milk, 4 bottles of Advil liqui-gels, a Brita water pitcher, & Baby Orajel for Sophie’s little toofers. I also got the Pepcid EZ chews for $7.99, used a $2 off coupon, got back 5 ECBs and will get back a $5.50 cash back rebate!! Oh and I now have enough Dove shampoo (my fave) to last me about a year. Umm…and Bobby has enough Nivea for Men shaving products for about two years. AND CVS paid me to buy some CoverGirl foundation which I am donating to a women’s shelter! I luuuuurve CVS!
Because we were so stocked up on groceries thanks to the magic of coupons, I only spend $10.24 at Kroger’s this week on some more mega-sale items and some fruit. Since my grocery budget is $40 a week, that’s almost $30 going into our savings account! YAY!
Well that’s it for me this week. For more great tales of couponery, check out Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom! She’s our savings guru! And for more craaazy CVSers, check out CVS Superstars at the “Cent”sible Sawyer!
You had an awesome week! AND, you got all that stuff you NEEDED (besides the stuff we buy to make money! hehehe). Great job!
I love to read your post – you’re so animated! I think you might enjoy this as much as I do! 🙂

WOW! Great job, it does become a little bit of a sickness, doesnt it? I really wish we had CVS stores in Washington!

Okay, I’m still stuck on the Cadbury Eggs at .7 cents each. I don’t think I could have just walked out with just one! lol!
Great job this week. You did AWESOME!
You really did have a great week!
Ok, so I have only been doing the coupon/CVS thing for 2 weeks now and still learning LOTS. How do you get so much stuff?? As in do you use more than one card? Where do you get so many coupons…..do you buy 50 Sunday papers 🙂 I can say I have enough Excedrin to last through the next great depression but am needing shampoo and conditioner stocked up. How did you get so much Dove and Shaving Products??
I should have taken you with me. I thought I followed the directions you sent me exactly, but somehow I messed it up big time. I ended up paying 16.05 for one pack of Huggies Supreme and a bottle of vitamins b/c I didn’t get the BOGO for some reason. The girl wouldn’t take more than one coupon for the diapers and vitamins so I put one bottle of vitamins back. So, what’s the deal? Where did I go wrong? I was very confused and Jeremy made fun of me 🙂
Wow! That is awesome! I have never had the patience to do all of the couponing, but you make it look so easy!
