This is one of my favorite CVS hauls to date. I jumped on two deals advertised in the CVS sales circular. One was, “Buy a Phillips Ear bud Headphones at $6.99 and earn $6.99 in Extrabucks rewards” (limit 1). The other deal was “Buy select Mars candy at $.75 each, and earn $.75 in Extrabucks rewards (limit 2). So, I decided to pick up three Phillips Ear bud Headphones, each one in a cool color, and two Snickers Almond chocolate bars. I didn’t use any manufacture coupons with this haul. I used Extrabucks and one CVS store coupon that I got through my e-mail* . Just so that you know, these deals are not currently in effect. The sale ran from Sunday, November 18, 2012 thru Saturday, November 24, 2012. Being the procrastinator that I am, I waited until the last day of the sale, which isn’t usually a good thing.
This is the breakdown of the shopping trip:
Products purchased Cost
1 Phillips Earbud Headphone $6.99
1 Phillips Earbud Headphone $6.99
1 Phillips Earbud Headphone $6.99
1 Snickers Almond candy bar 1.76 oz. $.75
1 Snickers Almond candy bar 1.76 oz. $.75
6% sales tax $1.11
Subtotal (before coupons, etc.) $23.58
I applied the following coupons and discounts to the subtotal:
1- CVS Store coupon -$4.00
1- CVS Extrabucks reward -$3.00
1- CVS Extrabucks reward -$4.00
1- CVS Extrabucks reward -$5.00
Total and price paid (after coupons, etc.) $7.58
I earned $8.49 in Extrabucks after the transaction, one for $6.99 and another for $1.50. So, I basically got everything for free, plus made a few cents in profit. You can’t really beat that. * I signed up to receive notification e-mails from CVS when there are special sales and coupons available. Once in a while I get e-mail coupons that I can either print up from a computer or send electronically to my CVS rewards card. Most of the time, I just hit that “Send to Card” button, because its more convenient and saves paper. I never had any problems with this.
