CVS Plan for Next Week

This week only there is a $5/$20 IP coupon for CVS. But by the time it came out I had pretty missed all the free-after-ECB deals, and couldn't put together any other good deals to use it on.

But then looking ahead to next week, there are some deals. None of which appear to be 3-day sales, and therefore should start early at my CVS, which closes up at 9pm. (Sale starts at midnight at 24 hour CVSs)

So if I can get my act together and my hiney up there Saturday evening, I should be able to score next weeks deals, using this weeks' good coupon.

But if I can't, it looks like there might be enough to put together a $30 purchase and be able to use the $5/$30 IP coupon anyway.

First thing I want to go for are my MoneyMakers, which are the Thermacare and Nivea. The Thermacare is Limit 5 - yay!

$12.45 Thermacare @ $2.49 x 5
$ 5.99 Nivea Body Wash
$ 1.99 Alteril Sleep Aid (ha, this something I sure don't need! lol)
= $20.43
-5.00/20.00 CVS IP q
-5.00 (5) $1.00 Thermare IP q's
-2.00 Nivea IP q
= $8.43 + tax (about $1.43 here)

Get back ECBs: $12.45 Thermacare, $5.00 Nivea, $1.00 Alteril = $19.44

Final total about $9.58 Profit after tax

Then do this one:
$20.97 Revlon Lipstick x 3
$12.00 Glade Sense & Spray x 2
$ 3.99 Listerine
= $36.96
-5.00/30.00 CVS IP q
-8.00 Glade S&S x 2
-1.00 Listerine
-6.00 Revlon x 3
= $16.96 + tax (about $2.59 for me)

Get back $4.00 Glade, 3.00 Listerine, $15.00 Revlon = 22.00

Final Total $2.45 Profit after tax

*Yes, I could do the (3) Revlon lipsticks separate and used another $5/$20 coupon, but then I would only have Glade and Listerine left, and they don't add up to $20.00. So I'd have to spend $4.01 to bring my total up to $20.00.  After coupons, my total would be $6.00 + tax, but I'd only get $5.00 ECBs back, so I end up losing $1.00 + tax on the deal.

*I didn't get any of the Crest coupons....if I had, then I could have broken the plan into (3) transactions. The Glade, Listerine and Crest, plus a $1.13 filler to bring the total to $20.00. After coupons my total would be $5.00, and then get $7.00 ECBs back. After tax it would only be like a .60 profit.  I likely wouldn't have bothered with a 3rd transaction for so little profit, and just stuck the Crest in with #1 transaction.
