CVS Week Of 9/4 | Happy Labor Day Weekend! Rolling Extra Bucks

Happy Labor Day Weekend Friends! Hope you are enjoying the weekend with family and friends! I made an attempt to get to the store and get a blog post up today instead of the usual midweek post. Hope this helps you plan your shopping trip this week! There are some good sales going on at CVS and I'll most likely make another trip this week so look for another CVS post this week. So I spent $13.42 OOP (Out Of Pocket) for $74 worth of products (with NO sales price, NO coupons)

CTarget | Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaner, Cascade Trial Packs and Rimmel Eyshadow

My Total OOP was $6.65 for $22.68 worth of products.

CVS Week Of 8/28 | $10 Gas Card

Although you may not be able to copy my idea exactly I wanted to share my scenario so you could see an example to help you put together your own deals and maxamize using those $4/$20, $5/$30, $10/$50 and whatever else combo coupons cvs sends out.

Target | Schick Intuition Razors, Cascade 4pk Action Pacs and Rolling Gift Cards

Right now at Target there are plenty of $5.00 Gift Card deals when you buy 2 of certain qualified items. Tonight I stopped in to get some razors and dishwasher soap. I had coupons for all 6 items...

Walgreens Week Of 7/24 | Gain Detergent and L'Oreal Sulfate Free Shampoo


I mentioned before I would be trying out a Gain Detergent deal at Walgreens. I've been wanting to try out some new shampoo this week Walgreens had a sale on the L'Oreal EverSleek line. The shampoo and conditioner were included in on the sale and the Register Rewards were not advertised. Also when I checked at 2 of my local stores neither had them advertised in store at sale price or that there were register rewards. So I grabbed 2 so I could do 2 separate transactions and get a price check. They scanned at $5.99 so they were included in the sale even though they weren't marked down in the store. I used a $2.00 in last Sunday RP 7/24 so I paid $3.00 and hoped a register reward printed, and it did!
So I purchased the second bottle and did 2 transactions.

Transaction #1

1 L'Oreal EverSleek Shampoo $5.99 sale price $7.99 reg price

The first store I visited was out of the Scunci No Damage Hair Elastics so I was able to grab some at the 2nd store I visited. Also the Gain powder detergent is included in this weeks sale for $4.99 although they aren't pictured in the ad nor are they marked in the store but I asked my cashier to do a price check and they scanned at $4.99

Target Week Of 7/24 | $1.98 for Mossimo Jeans



This is a great example of printing a coupon and holding onto it for future use. About 2 weeks ago Target had printable coupons for $3.00 off any Men's & Women's Denim. They should still be available if you haven't already printed.  When I have extra time I'll take a peek around the store to see what's on clearance because you just never know. I saw these marked down to $4.98 from $19.99 original price. They were already marked down once to $9.98 but then dropped again. So after my $3.00 Target Coupon I only paid $1.98!

Well great thing I had this in my small coupon file that I carry with me for items I may be interested in or need to stock up and I know it's on sale. It's too much to carry my big coupon binder with me and knowing me I'll walk off and forget about it somewhere. So I leave the big binder at home and carry a small half fold pocket book in my purse.

I have never bought a pair of these jeans before but for $1.98 they'll be great for when I need to do yard work around the house and gardening. Hope you find yourself some clearance jeans. Good luck.

CVS Week Of 7/24 | $2.92 for 3 Banana Boat Sunscreen & 3 Softsoap Foaming Hand Soap

So remember the $10 Extra Bucks I made earlier this week (here)?

Well I was at the Reseda CVS on Victory/Tampa Store # 9615 and noticed they had a deal going on Banana Boat Sunscreen spend $20 and get $10 Extra Bucks. It wasn't advertised in the weekly ad or any of the other stores I visited so this might not be going on at every store but I wanted to share in case anyone needed to stock up and had this deal going on at their store also. The advertised tag said it's going on from 7/24-7/30 so there are a few days left. Even if this deal isn't going on at your local CVS it's a good example in rolling your CVS Extra Bucks so in future sales you can try out something similar.

This is what I purchased and below that I show and explain what coupons I had and used for my purchase.


These are the coupons I started out with



Earlier this week I got a printable coupon in my email from CVS for $5 off $25. They have started the option of sending the coupon to your ExtraCare Card but I keep better track of physical coupons than remembering I have a digital coupon so printing works best for me.

I also had a few Manufacture Coupons and combined that with some sales that had Extra Bucks back.

3 Softsoap Liquid or Foaming Hand Soap $2.00 sale price $3.49 reg price
Buy 3 Get $3.00 Extra Bucks
MQ 3 - $0.35/1 Softsoap Liquid Hand Soap SS 7/24
Total $6.00 Paid $4.95 Received $3.00 EB

3 Banana Boat Sunscreen $6.99 sale price
Spend $20.00 Get $10.00 Extra Bucks
MQ 3 - $1.00/1 Banana Boat Suncare Product 4oz+ SS 6/26
Total $20.97 Paid $17.97 Received $10.00 EB
My total before any coupons came to $26.97
Since I got over $25 I used my coupon I got in my email from CVS for $5 off $25 = $21.97

Then I handed my MQ's to the cashier which brought my total to $17.92

Lastly I gave the cashier my Extra Bucks. I always give these last because they are just like cash and you don't want to give your bucks back before coupons because that can bring your total down and sometimes that can conflict with the coupons you are trying to use (i.e. your total is less than the coupon).

So I had the $10 Extra Bucks from this deal and I also had a $5.00 Extra Bucks print out because I spent $50 in beauty and if you join the beauty club you get $5.00 EB for each $50.00 spent in qualifying beauty products and they also give you Extra Bucks on your birthday. Sign up if you haven't now, you can do so from the CVS website.

My GRAND TOTAL came to: $2.92 (not including tax) for $46.24 worth of products
I received $13.00 Extra Bucks ($10 from Banana Boat and $3 from Softsoap)

Now I have $13.00 Extra Bucks still remaining after my purchase earlier this week and this.
I hope this helps explain how I try to maximize my Extra Bucks by keeping them rolling every week. Some shopping trips wont be as great and there are many times I buy items and do not get Extra Bucks back but that's when I use Extra Bucks I earned to purchase things I might not have a coupon for or it might be an item that hardly goes on sale.

CVS Week Of 7/24 | $10 Extra Bucks & $10 Gas Card


I haven't updated in the last week because I have not been shopping much. Last week was a very dull shopping week and I didn't have any great deals to share. This week is a little better but I haven't any need for many of the items that were on sale. I'm probably won't be doing a Keep It Under $5.00 Deal Ideas for any of the stores this week. I will be heading out to Walgreens tomorrow to score some Gain Detergent but I'll share that tomorrow after I get back from the store.

I realize not everyone can do this deal but I wanted to share a deal I did this week to give you ideas for future deals. Anyone can make a great deal it's just about planning out your shopping trip and doing a little math.

This week at CVS there is a $10 Extra Bucks deal when you purchase $20 in Playtex and Schick Products. Also there is a gas deal going on when you spend $30 on selected items.

To begin with I already had $8.00 EB from my previous weeks shopping trip.
I also got a coupon in an email from CVS for $5 off when you spend $25.
There are no longer any $1.50 off Skintimate printables

2 - Schick ST2 12 pack $8.99
MQ 1 - B1G1 Free Schick Disposable Razors from SS 6/26


2 - Edge Skintimate Shave Gels or Cream (excludes travel size) $2.19
MQ 2 - $1.50 Off any Skintimate Shave Gel Printable (no longer available for print)
or MQ 2 - 1.00/1 Edge Shave Cream from SS 7/24


12 - Aussie or Herbal Essence Shampoo, Conditioner or Styler 2/$4.97

MQ 4 - $3.00/1 Herbal Essences or Aussie Styler wyb Herbal or Aussie Product PG 7/3
MQ 4 - $1.00/1 Herbal Essences or Aussie Product from RP 6/12

Total before coupons $52.18
Total after coupons $14.19 OOP (Out of Pocket) and
Received $10.00 EB (Extra Bucks) AND $10.00 Gas Card = $5.81 Money Maker

I was basically paid $5.81 for $84.64 worth of products!



I hope this helps you to get ideas for other deals. If you sign up for emails from CVS they usually send out weekly coupons for $5/$25 and $4/20 coupons so log into your account and check to make sure you are signed up for those.
