Coupon Trip: CVS

I needed some more of my favorite base and top coat, but I ended up getting more polish too.  (Isn't that always the case?)

The total for everything, if you count the ExtraCare bucks that I received from the transaction, was: $5.14.

I did this all in one transaction:

What I started with:

• 9 ExtraCare Bucks
• 30% off coupon
• $4 off $12 cosmetics CVS coupon

The names of the polishes I got, from left to right, are:

• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Pixel Perfect
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Shine On
• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Grape Shifter
• Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Silver Anniversary
• Maybelline Color Show in Gilded in Gold
• Maybelline Color Show in Emerald City

Notes:

***You could count any combo of the Sally Hansen items as the deal items as long as it adds to $15.  (I bought extra stuff, because I'm obsessed with polish like that.)

If you wanted the maximum deal, you could get (5) Xtreme Wear Polishes @ $3.19ea ($15.95)

• Use the 30% (Check your emails.)
• Use the $4 off $12 (It prints for all card members this week.)
• Use (5) $1/1 Sally Hansen Nail Color (Redplum.com; in some newspapers too)

Makes the total for 5 polishes: $2.17 or $.43 each (Plus you get 5 ECBs back!!!)

Even if you don't have a percent off coupon, it's still a good deal.  Five polishes would be $6.95 or $1.39 ea, and you would still receive the 5 ECBs.

I would have done this even though I only had (4) $1/1 coupons, but most of the colors they had were that I already have similar in my polish collection.

I also went ahead and did them all in one transaction so I could use the 30% off on all of them.
