Who shops on a major holiday? A couponaholic does, in between church and starting dinner. I have it easy today (no company, a relatively easy Easter dinner, and we’re eating around 4:30 pm), so I had an hour to spare for CVS. I was motivated by reset printable coupons, expiring coupons, and great CVS coupons (some from last week and some new in my account today).
I was going to get the Playtex tampon deal because I still have four $2/1 printable coupons (no longer available) for the Playtex Compact Sport and also a $2/2 any tampon CVS coupon, but when I price-checked the small $6.19 size box, it was was not included in the BOGO 50% sale. The cashier double-checked. No sale price. Not wanting to argue over an item I was only going to give away, I put them back.
I’ve been finding various clearance on hair color at CVS and Publix for the past few weeks. These Clairol coupons (printable and insert) are fabulous coupons, but they don’t always want to scan on low-price product (honestly, it depends on the register because sometimes they go through just fine and other times, they beep). I love finding clearance hair color at CVS because even though the boxes are clearanced, they count toward the promotion to get a free hair color (up to $9.99 value) when you buy seven. I should be getting a coupon for a free box any day now. That would be enough reason to search out clearanced hair color, but the ibotta rebates for Clairol are terrific.
As always, cashback offers vary (in value and kind) by account, and some of the coupons I used may no longer be available to print when you read this. If you are interested in trying out Fetch Rewards, please use my referral code if you sign up [ KR2KA ], and we will each earn 2,000 points (value $2). I wrote a post about Fetch Rewards here.
