My CVS deals for this week

I was lucky enough to go shopping yesterday and had at the end of my receipt a coupon for $5 off $15 purchase. It expired on June 8 so I had to get there fast.

Here are the deals I got. I have 2 cards, so I was able to do some deals twice.


Here is what I got for card #1:

4- Degree Deodorant @ $2.50 each = $10
2 - Dove Deodorant @ $2.50 each = $5
1 - Dawn Hand Renewal dish soap = $0.97
1 - Gillette Fusion Razor = $9.97
4 - Windex Antibacterial Cleaner @ $2.50 = $10
2 - Rolaids @ $3.99 = $7.98
Total before coupons = $43.92

Coupons used:
1- $5 off $15
4 - $1/1 off Windex coupons, (5/9/10 SS) or IP here
2 - $2/1 Dove deodorant IP coupon here
2- $3/2 Degree deodorant coupons here or here
1- $4/1 Gillette Fusion razor (6/6 PG)
1 - $4/2 Rolaids coupon (6/6 RP - Not in GBPG paper)
1 - $1 Dawn coupon rounded down to $0.97 (mailer from P&G, not from home made simple mailer)
Total MC coupons = $27.97

Subtotal = $15.95
ECBs used = $1, $4.99, $4, $4, $2 (rounded down to $1.96)
Total OOP = $2.09 which was all tax
Earned $19 in ECBs

Just a note: Normally when you receive a $/$$ coupon, you want your total before coupons to be just over $15 so that you OOP will be the lowest possible it can be. However, I had $13.99 in ECBs that were expiring this week that I wanted to get used up, so I did it all in one transaction.


Here is transaction #2, done on second card.


1 - Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor = $9.97
2 - Rolaids @ $3.99 each = $7.98
1 - Venus Razor = $8.99
1 - Dawn Hand Renewal = $0.97

Total before coupons = $27.91

Coupons used:
$5/$15 CVS coupon
$4/1 Gillette Razor
$4/2 Rolaids
$2/1 Venus razor (6/6 PG)
$1/1 Dawn hand renewal (Home made simple home mailer) - Actually took full $1 off
Total coupons = $16

Subtotal = $11.91

ECBs used = $7, $4.99 ($11.99 total) which actually gave me a subtotal of negative 8 cents. Occasionally this does happen, but normally not. I haven't been able to figure out when and why this happens.

Total OOP = $1.18
ECBs earned = $5, $4, $4, $1 (green tag) = $14

I also discovered today that the Gillette Fusion Razor has published a limit 1, but that is NOT the case. There is at least a limit of 2, but I don't know if that is it.

Theresa, did those deodorant coupons really work? The ones I printed from the link said they were only for Degree Girl and Dove Go Fresh, which are not part of the sale. Let me know and if those are the same coupons you used, maybe I'll try them tonight. Thanks!
