CVS 1/05

 CVS has some nice deals going on this week, some really nice money makers with the Tena and Bayer Meter.

Pedia Care $5.99, limit 1
- 2.00 IP  (May not still be available?)
Pay $3.99, get $5.00 ECB
= +1.01 profit

$10.00 Bayer Contour Meter, limit 1
- 10.00 IP (or here, page 4)
Pay $0.00, get $10.00 ECB
= $10.00 profit

$6.99 Tena Pads x 5
$3.49 Tena Pads B1G150% sale price x 5
- 5.00 MQ 1/05 SS x 10
Pay $2.40, get $20 ECB*, limit 1
= $17.60 profit

(*I did 6 in one transaction and 4 in another to get (2) $10 ECBs, rather than a $20 ECB.)

I found some more of the Allegra on clearance, these were down to 75% off, so $2.87 a box for 12 tabs.

I needed to spend a little more to get my total up to my ECB amount so as not to waste it. I still had my $1.00 off the Xtra deterg from last week so I grabbed it, totally not paying attention that the price had gone back up to $2.99, from $2.49 last week. So I paid 50¢ more than planned. Oh well. That happens.

$7.00 Sundown Gummies, limit 1
- 2.00 MQ 1/05 RP
Pay $5.00, get $4.00 ECB
= $1.00

(Not sure why I bought these, I don't usually eat Vitamins. It was that "great deal" thing suckered me in again. If everyone says it's a "great deal", then I.must.have.it. But things you don't need or use aren't great deals unless they are money makers, or free (even free costs me tax).)

$6.99 Bic razor, limit 1
- 2.00 Bic Soleil Shave & Trim IP
( or 2.00 Bic Flex 4 or Soleil Bella IP)
 (Pay $4.99, get $2.00 ECB = $2.99)

Edge, Schick, or Skintimate Shave Gel, limit 1
Regular prices start at $2.99
(No coupons. There is a $1/2 in an insert but I didn't want to buy 2)
(Pay $2.99, get $2.00 ECB = .99)

Not a bad deal for $3.98 for razors and shave gel, but I also had a CVS coupon from the Red price check machine for $4.00 off $10.00 Razors, Blades, Shave Cream/Gels (Yes, it worked fine with no beeps at $9.98), so these were Free +2¢ for me today.

Not pictured:
Single size pack of Peanut Butter M&M's and a can of Grapeade Arizona Tea.

The Red coupon machine is printing 75¢ off a Single size Mars candy this week, which happen to be on sale for 75¢ this week, so you can get a free candy.

The tall cans of Arizona Tea are on sale for 66¢ - not as good as when Walgreens has it 2/$1 but I needed to spend 56¢ and that was close enough.

Final Total $26.02 profit
(or, since I used one of my $5.00 e-gift cards that I got from Swagbucks for free, my profit might be $31.00, if I don't count that as an expense.)
