CVS & Walgreens Week of 10/25/09

CVS:

I had to go to CVS this week.  I had $10 ECB that expired on the 30th.  I decided I would get the rest of my Halloween candy because they had a 3-day deal and pick up some eyeliner (I was out) and some lip gloss.  I didn't get one of my best deals, but I did ok.  I had a Buy 3 Get 1 Free for the candy in addition to a $1 off 3 bags of candy.  I ended up paying $1.25 for each bag of candy.  I was able to earn an additional $8 in ECB by purchasing the Cover Girl make-up.  I ended up paying $5.49 for each eyeliner and $4.99 for each lip gloss.

Price Before Sales & Coupons: $39.32

Price After Sales, Coupons, and Redeemed ECB's: $15.96

Total Savings: $23.36 (59%)

I also earned $8 ECB with the make-up

Walgreens:

I was able to go to my favorite Walgreens Sunday afternoon after church and grab my extra Sunday papers.  I like to redeem my RR at Walgreens for newspapers because they work great as a filler item - and it is like getting them for free!  I found out there was a month long RR promotion with Dove - if you buy 8 selected items you earn a $10 RR.  I had 3 shampoo and 3 conditioner coupons and they had a B1G1 Free sale for the shampoo and conditioner.  I thought this would be a good way to "roll" some of my rewards.

Sunday Afternoon Run:
(3) Dove Shampoo $1.495 each (4.99 each, B1G1 Free, $1 coupon)
(1) Dove Shampoo $2.495 (4.99 each B1G1 Free)
(3) Dove Conditioner $0.995 each (4.99 each, B1G1 Free, $1.50 coupon)
(1) Dove Conditioner $ 2.495 (4.99 each B1G1 Free)

Shelf Price (Before Sales & Coupons): $39.92
Final Price (After Sales, Coupons, and Redeemed RR): $0.46
Total Savings: $39.46 (99%)
Earned $10 RR

I read about the Quaker deal on-line at Hot Coupon World and thought I could use it.  There is a month long RR deal that if you buy $10 worth of Quaker products you get a $5 RR.  There is a coupon in this week's Walgreens ad for B1G1 Free if you buy the Oatmeal at $3.19 each.  I also had a manufacturer coupon I was able to combine with it making it a really great deal!
