I had a two great trips to CVS today. Well…it’s hard to say the second one was actually “great”, but I had to swing by a second store to get the third St. Ives product since the coupon had a limit of two identical coupons. Also, one of our cards received $5 Beauty Club Extra Bucks that aren’t accounted for elsewhere, so I’m including those $5 of extra savings in the final stats for this trip.
Here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used:
TRANSACTION #1 – MY CARD
TWO SIMPLE MICELLAR WIPES 25 CT, on sale BOGO 50% off $7.99
TWO SIMPLE MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER, on sale BOGO 50% off $7.99
TWO VASELINE LOTION 10 OZ, on sale BOGO 50$ OFF $4.29 ($6.43 for two)
***NOTE: I had them ring these items up in a specific order so my wipes would be full price items at $7.99. I was emptying my cart (rather slowly) while he was ringing the first few items in my order. I wanted to make sure he scanned a wipes first for $7.99, then a cleansing water second for $3.99 (because it was the 50% off item), then a third wipes for $7.99 and then finally a cleansing water for $3.99 (because it was the other 50% off item.) This ONLY works if your items are all the same price at your store and ONLY if you give the wipes as the first and third items. Otherwise, your wipes could be your 50% off items and then your coupons will be worth less money.
