CVS Physicians Formula Moneymaker!

I didn't have much need for the good deals this week at CVS. 

The thing about stockpiling is space.

Something that I don't have much of.

Sure, I have a basement, and I could probably rummage up empty boxes, but I don't have the desire to keep large quantities of anything.....which is why you'll never see me buy 50 of an item (unless it was for work, or for charity)

My pantry is full, as is my closet and my freezer. 

That being said.....a girl can never have enough makeup.

This week CVS has an ECB (Extra Care Buck) deal when you buy any Physicians Formula product. Now, I heard that some recieved a CVS coupon for $6 off of any Physicians Formula product. 

I wasn't blessed with one. So all I had was a $1 off manufacturers coupon. 

None of the product's were not on sale, BUT buy any product and get $7 in ECB back. Most of their products range from $9-$15

So as I was looking, I noticed a nice little peely on the Eye Boosters: "Try Me Free!" Anything like that makes me happy, I love freebies!

Lash Eye Booster $10.99

-$1 Manufacturers Coupon

-$1 ECB (from earlier transaction)

Total OOP (out of pocket): $9.92 plus a $7 ECB

PLUS a rebate of $10.99

So that's a $1.08 MONEY MAKER (I don't count the $7 ECB until I use it)

Sunday (3/13/11) Shopping Adventures

I had quite a busy weekend! I really hit the stores today, as I had quite a few deals I didn't want to miss out on...

I was at CVS, Dollar Tree, Dominick's, Target, and Walgreens!

(Ahhhh horrible pictures!)

Let's start with Dollar Tree, where I picked up two Tribunes, and a birthday card :)

And then I ventured over to Target:

My grand total after taxes was:

Drum roll please.....

$0.64 cents!

I bought:

(1) Benefiber Citrus Sticks (16ct) $5.49

-$3 off any Benefiber item (Target Coupon)

-$3 off any Benefiber item (Manufacturers Coupon) *No longer printable

= FREE + $.51 overage!!!

(3) General Mills Nature's Valley Granola Bars (4ct) $1 each

-$1.50 off 3 select General Mills products (Target Coupon)

(3) -$.50 off any nature valley box (Manufacturers Coupon)

= 3 FREE 

(1) EAS Protein Shakes (4pack) $4.74

-$3.89 off any EAS product (Manufacturers Coupon)

= $.85

(1) Excedrin (20ct) $3.49

-$3 off any Excedrin Extra Strength (Target Coupon)

-$1 off any Excedrin Extra Strength (Manufacturers Coupon) *No longer printable

= FREE + $0.51 overage!!!

(1) Rimmel Eyeshadow Quad $4.49

-$2 off any Rimmel Product (Manufacturers Coupon)

-$2 off any Rimmel Product (Target Mobile Coupon)

= $0.49

So the two coupon overages took care of most the remainders for the Rimmel and EAS products, and my total before taxes was $0.32 cents!

 I paid $0.32 in taxes, so my grand total was $0.64!!

After Target it was on to CVS:

I got both of these items for $2.99 (before taxes), and I got a $2 ECB!

So it's really like I only spent $0.99!

I bought:

(1) Aussie Cleanse and Mend Shampoo $2.99 (Normal Price 3.49)

(1) Aussie Awesome Volume $2.99 (Normal price $5.79)

(I used the coupon from today's paper, buy any Aussie Shampoo or Conditioner, get any styler free)

So it was $2.99 for the Shampoo, plus a $2 ECB when you buy any two Aussie items :)

After CVS it was off to Dominick's:

Where I spent $14.29

(Savings of about 46%)

I bought:

(1) 2lb Bag Frozen Precooked Shrimp (on sale $9.99)

(1) Gordons Grilled Salmon ($4.99)

-$1 any Gordon's Grilled Item (Manufacturers Coupon)

(1) Gordons Grilled Tilapia ($4.99)

-$1 any Gordon's Grilled Item (Manufacturers Coupon)

-4.99 Buy one Gordon's item, get one free (Dominick's Sale)

After Dominick's it was off to Walgreens:

(Super blurry picture, sorry!)

At Walgreens my total was: $3.03 (after Tax)

I bought:

(2) Pure Protein Bars ($0.99)

-Buy one Pure Protein Bar, get one free 

= $1 for 2, or $0.50 each

(1) Goody Hair Wrap (On clearance $1.50)

(2) Cream of Wheat Cinnabon ($1 each)

(2) -$1 any Cream of Wheat Cinnabon (Manufacturers Coupon)

= 2 for FREE 

So my total for the day was: $21.26

Total Savings: $43.95 (not including sales or clearances)

Just about 50% savings!
