Drugstore Deals 11-22 to 11-28

These are the regular weekly deals.  The Black Friday deals are here.  If there are terms you are not familiar with (EB, RR, etc), check out the sidebar to the right of the post

 

CVS

• Complete contact solution $8.99, get $8.99 EB (limit 2).  Use the $1 coupon in the 10-25 RP to make this a money maker.
• Buy $15, get $5 EB when you buy Clean & Clear products.  There is a $5 printable coupon on the Clean & Clear website for the complete acne kits.  That makes these $10 after coupon & EBs.
• T-Mobile pre-paid wireless handset $14.99, get $5 EB.
• CVS batteries BOGO
• Go to CVS.com and buy giftcards.  When you buy $25, they throw in an extra $5!  This is a great way to get some cards to use over the next year since they don’t expire.  Can’t beat free CVS money!

Overall, not a particularly impressive CVS week.  I will go to get my Complete solution, since that’s what I use.

Thanks to AFC and iHeartCVS

Walgreens

• Some small appliances are $9.99 this week.  There is an in-ad coupon to get an additional $3 off.
• $3 RR when you buy $10 worth of Nabisco crackers – $2 each.  There is a $10 rebate here when you buy 10 boxes.  Use the $1/2 boxes coupon, and the $1/2 100-calorie packs from the Diabetes & You magazine.  Can also use the $1 coupon in the 11-8 SS.  Great way to make money on buying crackers!
• Theraflu – $5 each, get $3 RR when you buy 2.  Get the sugar free powder version – use the $2 coupon in the Diabetes & You magazine (found in the pharmacy – will take off $4 if you buy 2), and use the $1.50 coupons found in the blinkie machines (the little things on the shelves that spit out coupons – I found mine at CVS).  Or you could use the $2 coupon from Theraflu.com if you have not printed it yet.  You will pay $3, and get $3 back.
• Tylenol Cold $4.99, get $3 RR when you buy 2.  There is a $1 coupon in the Healthy Savings booklet, and there are some $1 peelies on the products.  If you cant find the peelies, you can use the $3/2 fron the 9-13 RP or the $1 coupon from the 11-8 RP, 10-4 RP, or the 9-13 RP.  Use both coupons on each item, pay $6, and get $3 back.  Great time to stock up, lots of coupons available!
• Triaminic cold $5, get $5 RR when you buy 2.  Use the $1.50 printable or from the 10-18 SS, and use the $2 coupon in the Healthy Savings booklet.  Pay $3, get $5 RR back (a $2 MM!).  Great deal for kids’ medicine if you need it.
• Enfamil $22.99, get $2 RR.  There is a $5 coupon here.  This comes to $16/can after coupons & RR.  Remember, you can use the checks on top of this as well if you have some.
• Coffeemate creamer $2.49, BOGO.  Use the $1 coupons (print 2) to get 2 for $.49!
• There is a $5/$25 purchase coupon.  Its good 11-22 and 11-13 (Sun & Mon).  The coupon states you must have $25 after all coupons, but some stores let you use it before the coupons.  Just be careful – if Walgreens coupons take your pre-coupon total below $25, this will not work.  So make sure you are above $25 after all Walgreens coupons, and it should work just fine.

Thanks to AFC and iHeartWags.

Need some Theraflu?

There is a great deal on Theraflu right now at Walgreens.  It is ringing up at $5/box or bottle, and when you buy 2, you get a $3 RR back.

Here is a Money Maker scenario:

2 Sugar Free Theraflu powder packets

-2 $2 printable coupons from Theraflu.com

Use the $2 coupon in the Diabetes & You insert (at the pharmacy, small booklet attached to the larger magazine).  The coupon will take off $4.

You will pay $2, and get $3 RR back, making this a $1 MM!

 

If you dont have the printable coupons (or you have reached your limit)

2 Theraflu Sugar Free packets

-2 $1.50 coupons (I got mine at the blinkie machine at CVS, they could be at Walgreens or anywhere really)

-$4 (D&Y magazine $2 coupon ($2/box)).

Pay $3, get $3 RR, so free!

CVS Fun 11-15

Yesterday after church I headed out to CVS.  Its been awhile since I have been there, and I thought I should roll my EBs a bit.

Transaction #1:

2 Theraflu Warming liquids – $6 each, -$1.50 blinkie coupons (machine on shelf that spits out coupons) = $4.50 each

2 NyQuil + Vitamin C – $5 each, – $1.50 coupons from 11-1 P&G = $3.50 each

2 Glade Sense N Sprays (one not pictured) – $6 each, -$3 from 10-18 SS = $3 each.
(There is a $3 coupon for these on CVS.com too, but my manager would not let me use both.  Most stores will, not sure why he was such a pain yesterday).

-$10.50 EB

Total OOP was $10.27,earned $10 for buying $20 worth of medicine, and $4 for buying $12 worth of Glade.

 

Transaction #2

Covergirl Simply Ageless foundation – $13

Covergirl Simply Ageless blush – $10, -$10 coupon (buy a foundation, get face item free from 11-1 P&G).

1 Trident layers gum

Used $14 EB from previous transaction & paid $0.00!

Earned $10 EB from Covergirl deal (buy Simply Ageless Foundation & Blush, get $10 EB).

 

This was a frustrating shopping trip.  You are supposed to be allowed to use a CVS and a manufacturer coupon on an item, but the manager didn’t want to do it on the Glade.  Stinks   So I should have only paid $3.50 + tax, but oh well.  The Covergirl coupon beeped too, and he almost didn;t want to take it, but there was no dollar limit (sometimes they have a max amount for the free item, but not on this one) so he forced it through.  That was nice.  If he would not have done that, I would have just cancelled the transaction & left without the makeup.  Its not like I really need any more around here anyway!

That is one thing I have learned – when things dont work out exactly the way I want them too, I either cancel the transaction & try at another store, or I look at the items I got, and realize that I would have spent a lot more on them if I had gone to WalMart, and call it good.  Only paying $10.27 for all of this wasn’t a bad deal – if you are just starting out at couponing, I would say its great.  Its about $1.15/item.  I can handle that

Walgreens Fun 11-15

I ran to Walgreens tonight while Mike was at choir   I got some pretty decent deals:

2 Snuggle Dryer sheets $3.50 each with in-ad coupon, -$3 coupon = $.50 each

4 Airwick i-Motions $3.99 each, -$4 coupon from the 10-11 SS = free!

1 Almay Pure Blends foundation $9.99

1 Ricola mixed berry drops $1

1 Aussie hair mousse $2.99, -$1 coupon from 10-11 PG = $1.99

2 cans sweet potatoes $.99 each = $1.98 (no sale, just need these)

-$15 RR from buying Bayer meters last week

Total OOP was $.92, received $10 from Almay, $1 from Ricola, and $2 from Aussie.  So a net cost of $2.92.

I plugged in the i-Motion to see how it works.  I love it!  I put it near where the dog likes to play, so she keeps setting it off   That way my house smells like Vanilla & Lavendar, and not sweety doggy!  There was supposed to also be a $.50 coupon for the Ricola, but I didn’t have it in my books.  I will have to look again – these are great to stock up on.  I am just trying to keep my RR active for Black Friday – I can’t wait!  I will post those deals early so you have time to buy more coupons.  There will be quite a few freebies & money makers that day.

Hasbro Games deal at Toys R Us

There is an awesome deal going on right now with Hasbro games at Toys R Us. Here is the deal:

Buy 7 Hasbro games @ $3.99 each:

Candy Land
Chutes and Ladders (the Spiderman one MAY work – not sure yet)
Memory (any character)
Hi Ho cherry-o
Don’t break the ice
Ants in my pants
Cooties

You must get the original versions, not the special character versions, to get the $3.99 price. At the checkout you will get a $10 giftcard for buying $25 worth of Hasbro in one transaction.

Then, submit your receipt using this rebate form to get $2 back for each game.

Here is the math:

7 games @ $3.99 each = approx $30 (including tax)
- $10 giftcard to Toys R Us = $20
- $14 rebate = $6

Its less than $1/game after the rebates!
