CVS - Black Friday - I got my whole list!

I thought I'd have to wake up extra early to go to CVS. I thought my local store would be emptied of everything. But no! I got everything I wanted in the order I wanted. I spent around $3 OOP. (I figured out that I spent 5 cents total and everything else was sales tax.) The only thing I missed was the Degree bonus pack - as we were leaving I saw a display (a very full display) of several of the freebies that I hadn't noticed at first.

This year was disappointing though, in terms of deals - last year there were limit 5s! Freebies! Tons of profit! I wound up $3.59 ahead as well. I think that's why there weren't crowds this year. I didn't look for the headphones or the remote control, but I don't need either one and I actually don't have any ECBs in the proper amounts to make them easily free anyway.

I'll update with specifics later, but what I can say is I got 2 bottles of Herbal Essences (one shampoo, one conditioner), 2 Bic Soleil razors, 1 Schick razor (with a "10 song download card" that I'm curious about), 1 bottle of St Ives bodywash, 1 bottle of Vaseline lotion, 1 Degree deodorant, and 1 pack of M&Ms (yum).

CVS - Black Friday 2009 plans

This post is for me to figure out my Black Friday plans. It will change frequently and I'll edit it a lot. I got all my details/coupon matchups from iheartcvs.com.

I have $8.99.

I think I'm going to (providing everything is in stock!) do this:

[third time I've changed my mind]

First:

Herbal Essences - $2.99 -Free coupon, get back $2
1 Bic Soleil razor - $6.99, -$2 coupon. ($4.99)
1 Degree Ultra Clear deodorant - $4 (I do not have the coupon for this one)

Use $8.99, get back $5, $4, $2.

Second:

1 Bic Soleil Razor - $6.99 -$2 coupon = $4.99
Use $5. Get back $5.

Third:

Vaseline lotion - $7.99 -$1.50 coupon - $6.49, get back $7.99
Mars candy bar - $1.59 - get back $1.59
St. Ives body wash - $3.99 -$1 coupon - $3, get back $3

Use $5, $4, $2. Get back $7.99, $1.59, $3.

Fourth:

Schick razor - $9.99 -$2 coupon - $7.99, get back $8

Use $7.99. Get back $8.

Wind up with $8, $1.59, $3 at end.

What are the odds they'll have all this??? And if they are missing part of one part of this...all I really want to do is the Herbal Essences and the Schick. The rest is bonus.

CVS - Free Sense and Spray, batteries (not free)

I'm so behind with this blog. I'll fix it all soon, I swear!

Today I bought:
2 Glade Sense and Spray starter kits - $12
1 pack of CVS-brand AA batteries - $6.49 (I think?)
I used 2x $4/Sense and Spray, $3 ECBs. I paid around $8 OOP. I got back $4 for the Sense and Spray and $1 for the 4th scan of my Green Bag Tag.

And then I realized I should've added $1.50 of something and then used the spend-$20-get-$4 coupon. But I forgot. Argh. At least I have more ECBs to play with on Black Friday now (if I even can get to the store that day/weekend).

CVS - Spent ECBs on things we needed

So. CVS has been pretty dry lately, and I've been busy - out of town visiting family, out of town for a funeral. I had two ECBs that expire on 11/17 - $6.99 and $8. Today I finally got to CVS - two stores actually - and neither had the ear rinse that I wanted to roll my $8 on, and I didn't feel like buying yet another diabetes monitor when I haven't gotten around to donating the ones I already have.

So I bought:
1 tube of antibiotic ointment
1 carton of epsom salts

I used the $6.99 and $1.26 OOP (47 cents tax) - I will update this later of course. I also found the spend-$20-get-$4 coupon, but I don't think I'll be able to use it before it expires.

So I'm down to $8 in ECBs, and as they expire on the 17th, I have a feeling I may be down to zero soon enough. That said, I have the Green Bag Tag which will eventually get me $1, and on Black Friday I hope to get the Herbal Essences which is $2.99/$2 ECBs back but I have a coupon for a free one, so that would be another $2 profit, getting me back in the game. I must confess, I'm underwhelmed on the Black Friday deals this year - even if I had ECBs to spend, the profit opportunities are small and the freebies just aren't things I care about. Bah. I hope some great deals are in the pipeline CVS!

CVS - Newspaper, green bag tag (plus Target after Halloween)

No deals struck my fancy this week. I thought I could get free Listerine since I found one last $2 manufacturer's coupon and had the $1 CVS coupon from the flu shot book, but the CVS coupon is for the 1 liter size and the sale is on the half-liter size. Ah well.

I bought:
1 double Sunday paper - $2.50
1 Green Bag Tag - 99 cents.

I used $2 ECBs that were going to expire on Tuesday and $1.56 (I think - will come back to fix) OOP. Got nothing back.

CVS had already cleared the shelves of all Halloween items. And Target had only marked down its candy 30% - not 50%. Disappointing! (I still got some candy at Target, and I used a $1 Dove coupon to get some bags of Dove for $1.44 - not bad. I also got my daughter a Halloween hoodie for next year, a Halloween T-shirt for...someday, and some hand towels with monsters on them, all for 50% off.)

Total OOP: $51.34 ($26.96 tax)
