CVS Scenarios - week of 2/21

I'm thinking that I might have to try to get out to CVS again this week. There are a few deals and a few sales that will be good to pick up.

Transaction #1
1 - Mennen Speed Stick
2 - John Frieda
1 - EARinse
1 - Colgate Max Fresh

-$2 John Frieda Root Awakening IP (was on coupons.com, not seeing it now)
-$2 John Frieda Root Awakening IP
-$1 Colgate Max Fresh IP

Total $20.95 OOP, earn $2, $5, $7.99 and $2 in ECBs. If you are lucky enough to have a $/$$ coupon for $20 or $25, this would be a good transaction to use it on.

Transaction #2
1 - Almay Intensive iColor
1 - Physician Formula Bamboo
1 - Tide Detergent
1 - Tide Stain Release

-$2 Almay Mfg coupon
-$1 Tide Mfg coupon
-$? Free Tide Stain Release with Tide Detergent Mfg coupon

Total $20.97. Pay with $16.99 in ECBs and $3.98 OOP. Earn $2, 5, and $2 ECBs.

Some other deals worth considering:

Colgate Toothbrushes (psa $1.99), spend $10 get $5 ECBs. Use the $1/1 Colgate 360 ActiFlex coupon. Should be able to get 5 toothbrushes for around $5.50.

Pampers (48 - 96ct) $22.99, earn $3 ECBs. Use the $2/1 or $1.50/1 Pampers mfg coupon.

Bioluxe Shampoo and Conditioner BOGO. There are reportedly bottles out there that have tags for a Try Me Free MIR. If you can find those, that would be a good way to get two bottles for free. My store did not have them last time I was there.

Softsoap $.88. Use the $.35 Softsoap IP to get one for $.53.

GM Cereals $1.99. Use the $1/1 GM Cereal IP.
