  • About Me

    I'm happily married with 6 fur-babies! (2 dogs and 4 cats and they are all special needs.) My life is dedicated to helping animals in some way or another. I've practically made a full time job out of couponing. I've been doing this for a little over a year and I'm addicted! It seems to always amaze people how much I'm able to get for very little money so I thought it'd be nice to share! It is very time consuming but worth every penny saved! I also hope to help new couponers get into the game!

Last minute CVS deals

Published by couponanimal at 5:28 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Today is the last day for Jan ECB deals and the last day of this week’s sale. (Which is typically the worst day to try to find anything since 9 times outta 10 everything is out of stock. And that’s basically what happened to me, but I still got some good bargains.

Trip 1:
Nasogel Spray 7.99 -2q =5.99
-$4 ECB

Total including tax: $2.31; Savings $6.00
*This was a January Free after ECB deal so I couldn’t believe they still had 1 on the shelf!
*I got $7.99 back in ECB plus I am sending off for a $3 rebate from this product. And I purchased one at the beginning of the month so I will get $6 back! This was a big money maker!

Trip 2:
(2)Diet Pepsi 12pk 10.38 -3.72sale =6.66 (eek!)
(1)Mt Dew 12pk 5.19 -1.85sale =3.34
(1)Tositos 3.99 -.99sale =3.00
(2)Lays 7.98 -3.98sale =4.00
(2)Stacy’s Pita Chips 6.58 -.58sale -(2)1.50/1q =3.00
(1)CVS Cough drops 1.19 -1.19cvs q = Free
(2)Extra Gum 2.58 -1.29cvs q =1.29
-16.99 ECB

Total including tax: $4.34; Savings: $33.69
*And I will get $15 in Pepsi/Lays coupons back from this deal!

I was lucky enough to get a CVS $/$$ email this weekend, however it was only $5/$40..yuck..I don’t have enough ECB and there aren’t enough items on sale that have coupons out right now so I would end up spending more just to use this coupon. Not worth it. Hopefully the next one will be better!
Now I have to go plan tomorrow’s deals! New week and new month means new ECB deals!!
