CVS Trip Tomorrow

I have a final exam on Monday (gasp!) in Immunology, so I am going to spend all day tomorrow studying. Obviously I’ll need a break during the day, so I figured I would make a quick trip to CVS to do this deal I came up with, with help from Be Thrifty Like Us and i heart cvs, who posted the weekly advertised deals before I could even see them in the newspaper. Here is my plan:

2 Bic Soleil 4-pack Razors at 5.99
1 Just For Men Touch of Gray Hair Dye (only because it’s a money maker, not because I’m secretly a man with gray hair) at 7.99
1 Chapstick Naturals at or around 2.99 (probably less, I don’t really know)
2 Aquafresh Extreme Clean 5.6oz at 2.99
1 Listerine 500mL @ 2.99
=31.39
-4 dollar off of a 20 dollar beauty purchase from CVS in my e-mail (where “beauty” is hair dye, razors, and hopefully chapstick and/or aquafresh/listerine…if not, I’ll have to find something cheap to cover the last few cents I’m short of 20 dollars after the hair dye and razors!)
-2 $1 coupons for Aquafresh
-2 $2 Bic coupons
-$2 Just for Men
=19.93
Pay with 18.99 ECB I have from last week, and my out of pocket will be around one dollar, maybe less depending on the chapstick price.

I’ll make 6 ECB on the Bic, 7.99 on the Just for Men, 1 ECB on the Chapstick, and 5.98 on the Aquafresh for a total of 20.97 in ECB! They’ll be paying me to take this stuff, basically!

Hopefully the beauty coupon will work. I’ll find some cheap beauty product if I need to, but I’d rather just get what I planned. We’ll see!

  1. I got the $4/20 beauty coupon too. It drives me nuts that they don’t spell out what it specifically covers.
    Thanks for the idea.

  2. Heidi,
    Love your site, and love your writing until I read,
    “I like Barack Obama:”
    Sorry, that’s when you lost me. George.

  3. How did you get the 4/20 coupon? I think you’ll be fine with the items you have counting as beauty.
