My First Adventure

My first "Extreme" trip to couponing was to CVS on July 13, 2011.

Here is a run-down of the deals I found! The deals get SWEETER as you go down :)

- Crest 3D White Mouthwash (which I ALREADY buy)
         Regular price: $4.99 per bottle
         Sale Price: 2 for $7.98
         **Coupon used: $.75 off 1 bottle
                    (Used two coupons because I was buying two bottles)
          Final Price: $3.24 per bottle

-Herbal Essences "Tousle Me Softly" Mousse/Spray
          Regular price: $4.99
          Sale Price: $3.21 (clearance)
          **Coupon used: $3 off when you buy 2 Herbal Essence products
                     (Bought 4 bottles total: 2 for sale price at $3.21, two with the coupon for $.21!)
          Final Price: $1.71 per bottle

-BIC Soleil Razors (Which are my FAVORITE!!)
          Regular Price: $7.99
          Sale Price: $6.79
          CVS Special: Buy one, get one half off
          **Coupon used: $3 off BIC Soleil Razors  
          Final Price: $1.89 per pack

^CVS allows use of coupon for both purchased regular price and one half off. So, I bought one pack for $6.79-$3.00= 3.79, and the half off price was $3.39. The coupon brought the second one down to $.39.

-Pantene Pro-V Shampoo
          Regular Price: $4.99
          **Coupon(s) used: $3 off Pantene product (manufacturer coupon)
                                         $2 off Pantene product (CVS coupon)
          Final Price: FREE :) (Plus they owed me a penny!)


CVS allows use of one manufacturer coupon (ones from SmartSource/RedPlum/P&G from the newspapers, or some found online) AND a store coupon on the same item.

Other not-so-noteworthy coupons I used were off deodorant (just needed some- it wasn't on sale). Also, I had $5 "Extra Bucks" from CVS credited toward my total. (These print off of receipts for ExtraCare card users.) I was so excited to walk out with $10.30 in-store savings and $25.50 saved just from the coupons I had clipped and brought in. :)
