CVS: Saved over 85%!!

So, I wasn't actually planning to go to CVS this week, but I got the $5 off $25 St. Patty's Day Email Coupon.  So, I took the bait.  (CVS knows me too well...)

Make sure you are signed up for the CVS emails, and always check your inbox on Thursday for these Email Coupons!!!

(I haven't been able to do much couponing at all this week. So this was a nice little trip.)

If you are curious if the coupons below are still available and where, you can use a coupon database.  The one I use most often is the Couponlikeaman database.  HERE

CVS: L'Oreal Youth Code and More

Second Trip to CVS this week...couldn't resist the email coupons!  Free stuff is always worth a trip into town...oh yeah!

The deals below are from this week's ad.  (Good thru 3/8)

The coupons I mentioned below may or may not still be available for print.  You can always check a coupon database.  I use the one at Couponlikeaman (found HERE) most often.  You can just type "L'oreal" or whatever into the search bar, and it will tell you most, if not all, of the available coupons out there.

Okay, back to my trip...

I did this in two transactions:

Transaction #1

 

[L'Oreal Skin Care ECB Deal: Spend $30, get 10 ECBs back]

L'Oreal Paris Youth Code Day Lotion Moisturizer with SPF 30 - $24.99
 - used: $5 off $20 in L'Oreal Products printable

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Cream Cleanser - $7.49
 - used: $1 off 1 L'Oreal skin care item printable

used: $4 off $20 beauty purchase (CVS Email Coupon)
used: 20% off CVS email coupon  (took off $5.70)
used: 8.74 ECBs

Subtotal: $8.04 (got back 10 ECBs)***

***There is also a $10 mail in rebate for L'Oreal Revitalift, Youth Code, and Age Perfect when you spend $30 in one transaction.  The PDF can be found HERE, or you can just search "loreal rebate" in google

After rebate, the total really is:  -$1.96 (money maker!!!) 

...and I'm still not even counting the 10 ECBs I got back. Oh yeah!

Transaction #2

(4) Cover Girl Glosstinis (Catching Fire series) Polishes - BOGO1/2off ($3.79, $1.89)
 - used: (2) $3 off 2 Covergirl products (3/2 P&G)

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat - $7.49

Gold Emblem Jelly Beans - $.99

used: 10 ECBs from transaction #1

Subtotal: $3.49 (got back $5.99 in ECBs: $.99 from the jelly beans and 5 from beauty club)

---

So both transactions together: $11.53 before rebate and ECBs (AKA what actually came out of my wallet today sans tax)


After L'Oreal rebate:  $1.53

After rebate and ECBs: $0 ($4.46 money maker)

Also, I think I officially have all the Catching Fire Glosstinis. Haha!  I actually think they look really ugly in the bottle, but I couponed some down anyway to try.  And...now I am obsessed! The colors are gorgeous on the nail!  Seriously the bottle doesn't do these justice at all....

(Some Walmarts have these on clearance for $3 each as well, if that's more your thing.)

A Note About the L'Oreal Youth Code:

Look for a package with the FREE trial size sticker on it (in the photo) and you get a FREE sample of Sublime Sun (.5 FL oz.)  Nice little bonus!

This is my first really expensive face stuff (note the well-informed, technical term haha).  I'm been curious to try this out and see how it compares to my normal regime of coconut oil.  We shall see....*ominous music*

CVS: Nail Polish and More

Since I have been on a nail polish kick lately, I wanted to run to CVS and get some of the winter colors before they get replaced with the spring collections.  (I'll buy tons of those too.  Don't worry.)

I did this all in one transaction today.  I just honestly didn't have too much time to fiddle and figure today.  Yes, sometimes it is just easier to pay a few extra bucks even for an avid couponer like me.  Haha!  I'll go back to multiple transactions and complicated shopping lists next time.  I just wanted cute polish, dang it!  :)

Sally Hansen Strengthening Top Coat - $4.49

 - used: $1 off P&G item (prints at the red machine in store)
 - used: $3/2 covergirl products (3/2 P&G insert)

Cadbury Egg - $.87  (Didn't last long enough for the picture, YUM!)

St. Ives Lemon and Mandarin Orange Scrub - $4.49
 - used: $1.50/1 St. Ives Facial Scrub (cvs coupon) 

Used: 14 ECBs
Used: 20% off email coupon

Will also get $1 rebate from SavingStar for the St. Ives Scrub. Whoohoo!


***There is a $1 off 1 Wet n Wild Coupon on coupons.com right now as well.  I didn't see it until I got back from shopping.  Oh well, guess I'll have to buy even more polish.  Darn, so awful.
