CVS Experience!

OH~~NO~~

Worst CVS experience today.

First of all It was my fault still started shopping in cvs even I knew she is not my favorite CVS Cashier. I got the sutff I planed and go to check out. Problem start I gave her whole bunch of coupons.

She said " Oh, You can't use this coupon. It's against the LAW."

Yes. She talking about $2 CVS Skincare item coupon. She keep saying I can't using overage coupon which I getting $1.50 value cvs sanitizer.

OK, OK you know about the Law. You can simply punch in exact value without telling I'm breaking the "Law"???

So I pick up $ .49 value tissue make it even!!!!

Thanks God She didn't say Tissue is not a skincare itme this time!

I did one more transaction getting Covergirl deal.

Guess What??

I win at this point.

I got CoverGirl Wetslicks and (2)Covergirl foundation

then handed $1off coupon and BOGO coupon. Final Price was pretty high than I expected. I looked it. And I noticed she put in just (2) $1 off coupon instead $7.99.

I pointed out and she handed me $7.00 in cash.

which is difference coupon and actual she punched in!!

Yeah~~ You made my day!!

Walgreen Even Better

Yesterday, I wrote about how much i having fun shopping at CVS.

After I start shopping at CVS, I saw a lot of opportunity from other store.

Two week ago my local store Bashas had a promotion that you get $10 Bashas shopping money back for buying P&G $25 value. We usually buy some grocery from Bashas so I use the money which is going to go Bashas anyway to get some free shampoo. Bashas had a sale for Herbal Essences 2/$5 and I had coupon expire soon. So I got 10 shampoo and conditioner combination and used (5) 2/$3 Coupon. So I paid $10 for 10 Herbal Essences Product then got $10 Bashas Money Back. Good Job for myself.

Now about Walgreen shopping different way.

They give you real cash with rebates check or 10% more for choose Walgreen gift card .

I searched for my old Walgreen Gift card(they are rechargeable).

They have Register Reward program work like CVS ECB. But Good thing Walgreen Gift card is real money allow you to buy like Target Giftcard, Olive Garden, Barns and Noble. Even they carries Seventh generation detergent and Jason Product which is my favorite. I don't need much things from Walgreen because I can get it from CVS almost free.

So I set up my own plan.

My plan is raising Walgreen gift card balance with a little investment.

Rule 1. Only go Walgreen when they have $5/$20 coupon.

Rule 2.Only buy free after rebate items with coupon.

So I had my first visit on July 31 with (2)$5/$20 coupon.

They having a promotion for 3/$10.

Transaction 1

(6) olay body wash for $20 -$5 off/$20 -(6)$2coupon

final price $3+tax and got $7 register reward

Transaction 2

Bio fusion shampoo @$5.99

Bio fusion conditioner @$5.99

Jane mineral foundation @$4.99

Walgreen light bulb @$1.99

Math work book @$2.99 (filler-not in picture)

pay with $5/$20 off and $7 register reward from transaction 1

then paid $11.** out of pocket. And will get $20.86 in my Walgreen Gift card.

Well, I had Pert Shampoo coupon will make my plan even better but Pert Shampoo are all out of stock.

Now I am done with Walgreen this month. Alreday wait for next month when they have another $5/$20 coupon day.

Dreaming someday I will have enough my own Walgreen Shopping free Money~~

Hope this is help for your next Walgreen shopping.

Kellogg's $10 Rebates

Another was for rebate up to $5 in free school supplies when you buy $5 worth of Pert plus and/or Sure product. (Plan get my son's lunch box from cvs this week. Pert shampoo was out of stock Today )
I remembered Fry's having buying 10 item and get $5 off ends today.

GO GO CVS

I used to buy all house items from online.

Kid clothes, Kid shoes, Diapers, baby wipe, kids vitamin, Laundry Detergent ,Toothbrush even milk.

One of my favorite online store was amazon.com.

I thought i did pretty well because i always use Sale+Coupon code+Cash back.

But One day I accidentally visited one of blog showing how many things they got from CVS and how much they paid.

I was in shocked!!

Nice thing is those blog are all connected together so I keep reading and reading and reading. Well, I never been CVS before.

So I need to S!T!U!D!Y!

Next day I walked with pen , paper, calculator and cvs ad in my hands all around house all day long. And It is been almost 2 month now and still learning.

I made a mistake, cvs casher made mistake.....But

It worked!!!!!!! I started to stocking up some toliet papers and paper towels and ofcourse toothbrushs and toothpastes. I didn't know there are 5 CVS Stores wthin 10 minutes from our house. What a luck??

Now I don't buy household items from online anymore. Well, I still need to order kid's multivitamins from vitaminshoppe.com or vitacoast.com. and amazon.com and endless.com for kid shoes.

Now I can say Bye~ Bye~ Drugstore.com.

Oh~ Hello~ CVS.

I'm having so much fun visiting CVS.

Now I am finding myself founding past week promotion sticker and handed to the cvs employee.

One day I asked to one of cvs casher ,

"Am I the only one doing this?"

He said,

"No, there are another 4 people."

Can you guess my next question?

"Who is the best, is it me?"

He was THINKING little bit and said,

"You are pretty good, but there is one lady fill up the cart over $200 then only pay ".25" and got ECB BACK"

And I said I will try more harder next time~~~

Anyway I love CVS now, kinda addicted.

Hope you find yourself find some good deal at CVS, too.
