CVS Scenarios - week of 1/24

It looks like CVS brought back their Pepsico deal again this week, the limit is stated as one. Of course, last week, it was stated at 2 and even after having completed the deal 3 times, it had not yet reached the limit. Not sure if that will hold true this week or not. We have a lot of 12pks and chips, so I'm not sure I will try again this week. We will see. Perhaps if CVS is kind enough to mail out a $/$$ coupon or I get one from the coupon machine, then perhaps.

This looks like a week to stock up on some makeup and shampoo.

Transaction #1
1 - Almay Intense Eye Color
3 - Revlon Eye Shadow/Lipstick

-$1 Almay IP (from Target site, but is a manufacturer coupon)
-$1 Revlon Mfg coupon
-$1 Revlon Mfg coupon

Total $16.99. Earn $4 and $7 ECBs.

Transaction #2
1 - Ivory 3 pack
1 - Crest Toothpaste
1 - Cheezit 2-pack
1 - Always Infinity 28-36ct
1 - Always Infinity 14-18ct

-$1 $1/2 Cheezit Mfg coupon (YMMV - my store let me use a $/2 coupon for a multipack last week)
-$? Buy One Always Infinity 28-36ct Get One 14-18ct Free
-$1 Always Infinity Mfg coupon

Total $12.21. Pay with $11 ECBs from Transaction #1 and $1.21 OOP. Earn $3, $1, and $2 ECBs.

Transaction #3
I don't know the cost of the Pantene/Aussie/Herbal Essence/Gillette Shampoo/Conditioner/Styler, but I plan to purchase a few to meet the $10 requirement and use some combination of the following coupons:
-$1 Aussie Mfg coupon
-$3/2 Pantene Mfg coupon
-$1 Herbal Essence Mfg coupon
-$1 Gillete Mfg coupon

Total ?, pay with the ECBs from Transaction #2 and earn $3 ECBs.

CVS $5 Challenge
I'm torn, do I get makeup or Cheezit - or both and just be $1 over? I will just go over.

  1. I wish CVS was as generous as they used to be with the $x/$xx coupons. I had one the past 2 weeks, but the last expired yesterday. Hopefully another one will come out soon, because I would like to get some more pop to donate to my husband's lodge. I always love to be able to donate items when I get them for free!
