Recently, I was asked to speak on the Frugal Mom Talk Radio podcast. Originally, this was going to be a 20 minute overview. But as always, when you start talking about coupons and stockpiling, there’s a lot to be said!
So grab a cup of coffee, prop your feet up (or fold some laundry if you must) and listen to the rebroadcast.
If you were lucky enough to get $1 off 1 coupons for Dawn in your Sunday paper yesterday, CVS has Dawn 2 for $2 with $1 ECB…so if you have the mfc, you pay nothing out of pocket and make one ECB on every 2 bottles you buy. *Money Maker* …Do the dance….
Also, there were coupons for buy one fabric refresher spray, get one air effects spray free. If you buy 3 refreshers for 3.99 each, you can get three air effects sprays free, plus you’ll get $5 ECB’s back. If you have coupons for the three fabric refreshers, you can sweeten this deal even more.
Finally, Olay skin care is a good deal. $10 ECB when you buy $20. Remember, the $20 is before coupons at CVS!!! The cheapest combination I could work out was to buy 4 Ribbons body wash, use the $2 off coupons for an out of pocket of $15.96 and get $10 ECB back.
Now. If only I’d get off my computer and go shower and clean my house!
Oh how I love CVS! Even my three year-old son knows that Momma gets the best deals at CVS. Here are the deals to add to your list this week… and get ready to do the Profit Dance!
CVS brand sheer bandages (40 ct) - $1.99 generates $1.99 ECB (limit 2 but some people are getting up to 5 ECBs)
Chex Mix - On sale for $1. Printable $1 coupon.
Brut deodorant - Antiperspirant is $3.19 or $3.39 depending on the type you purchase. $3 ECB. $1 off coupon (limit 5) PROFIT DANCE! 
Listerine Smart Rinse - $3.49 generates $3.49 ECB, $1 off coupon (limit 2) PROFIT DANCE!
OralB Cross Action Two-Pack toothbrushes - $1.99 ea, generates $1.99 ECB. (I went to two CVS stores and could not find these. They were completely out of stock.)
How could we have a holiday without going to CVS?
Check out Sierra Mist…BOGO, limit 4….BUT WAIT! Add in this coupon and you gotta lotta free soda…or pop…whatever you call it in your neck of the woods. Just grab 4 Sierra Mist 2 liters, you should get all of them for the price of one!
How about we make a little money buying Revlon nail polish?!
$3.99 with card, 3 ECB’s, so only .99 after ECB….BUT WAIT! Grab your inserts from 5/18 and snip out your $2/1 on any Revlon Colorstay or any Color Cosmetic product…now we have .99 PROFIT!!!
*Pardon me while I do the profit dance*
Finally, get ya some CHEAP French’s mustard or Kraft Barbecue Sauce…only .66 each! I may also be able to find some q’s on these…I don’t like Kraft bbq sauce, so I’ll be looking for mustard to see if I can turn Hubster’s sandwiches into MONEYMAKERS! (Besides, I’ve been busy buying KC Masterpiece for .67 a bottle at Albertson’s. They are on sale 3/$5, or $1.67 each, use a .50 mfc from the 4/13 Red Plum and if your store doubles…you pay .67 each. The Sweet and Tangy is delish.)
CVS prices are good only on Sunday May 25th and Monday May 26th…so hurry on in to stock up!
Yes, it’s time to do the “I made money at CVS” dance again!
Many area’s received $1/1 coupons in their 5/18 inserts for Tums QuikPak, PLUS, the ad also included a mail in rebate for the same! These are free after ECB deals this month so…..MONEY MAKER!!!
