CVS Haul 08-11-12, Dove products

Dove Bar Soap and Body Wash


CVS is my store and I love shopping there, because I save lots of money. Some of their products are overpriced, but if you know how to bargain shop, there are ways to get around this. I shopped there last week and took advantage of a sale on Dove products.

At the time of this blog post, a similar sale may still be in effect in the South Florida area. The advertised deal states that when customers spend $15 or more on Dove products, they will receive $5 in CVS Extrabucks. Dove body washes and 6-pack bar soaps are on sale for $7. Be sure to check with the store that you shop at, because may sales vary from store to store or region to region. Also, CVS runs this type of deal on Dove products several times a year. 

Extrabucks are good to use on future purchases at CVS. If you aren’t aware of how the CVS ExtraCare rewards program works, I provide a little insight on the subject in another post.

I decided to buy two-6 packs of Dove bar soap and 1 bottle of Dove body wash. Each product is on sale for $7. The total came up to $21, plus sales tax. I had 3 manufacturer coupons, which came from Sunday newspaper inserts, for Dove products and 2 CVS Extrabucks, so I applied them towards the total. The breakdown of the transaction is as follows:

1 Dove 6 pack 4 oz bars $7.00

1 Dove 6 pack 4 oz bars $7.00

1 Dove body wash 24 oz. $7.00

Sales tax $1.26

Total (before coupons, etc.) $22.26
1 manufacturer coupon -$1.00

1 manufacturer coupon -$.50

1 manufacturer coupon -$.50

1 CVS Extrabucks -$5.00

1 CVS Extrabucks -$10.00

Total (after coupons, etc.) $5.26

I paid $5.26 out of pocket and received $5.00 in CVS Extrabucks in this transaction. So, it’s like I got all of this for only $.26. What an awesome deal!
