I went to CVS today with the hopes of picking up some freebies. I had it all planned out, but I worried that they’d be out of stock. To my surprise, they had everything on my list!
I got all this stuff for FREE! I only paid the tax. Here’s how I did it… first, I need to mention that I have 4 CVS cards (me, hubby, mommy, sis).
I did 4 identical transactions. Here is how each transaction worked.
1 Milky Way – used the coupon for a free Milky Way or Dove Bar that spit out of the magic coupon machine (that was an unexpected treat!) and got it for FREE
1 Hershey Bar – on sale for 99¢, I paid 99¢ (got back 99¢ Extra Care Bucks for future use)
2 Orbit Gum – BOGO sale, $1.49 for 1, got 1 free and used (2) $1/1 orbit coupons that I got from the magic coupon machine last week (if you tossed those coupons, shame on you!), I got the gum for FREE and got 51¢ overage toward my other purchases
2 Suave Deodorant – on sale for 99¢ each, I used (1) $1/2 coupon from 8/14 RP insert, I paid 98¢ for two
1 Skintimate Shaving Gel – on sale for $1.99, I used (1) $1/1 CVS Skintimate coupon and stacked it with (1) $1/1 Skintimate manufacturer coupon (no longer available), I got it FREE and got a penny overage toward my other purchases
1 Carefree Panty Liners – on sale for $1, used (1) $.50/1 coupon from the 8/21 SS insert, I paid 50¢ (got back $1 Extra Care Bucks for future use)
My total came to $1.95. I used $2 ECB that I earned last week (for buying St. Joseph aspirin) and that made my entire order FREE!!!
I did that same exact transaction 4 times. I paid only 37¢ tax on each transaction.
And the very best thing is that I now have $7.96 ECB ($1.99 per CVS card) to spend the next time! That’s free money!
