I got a $5 off $30 CVS coupon by email today (from the ExtraCare email), so I started thinking about how to use it. Let me know if this is helpful, as I probably won't do this every week unless it is beneficial.
Here are some things on sale next week. I am trying to find the free after ECB deals, etc.:
Biotrue Multi-Purpose Solution $2.99 = $2.99 ECB (limit 2) Use $2/1q. Makes it a $2 MM! (Usually, you can't do the same deal multiple times in a transaction--so just do two transactions) This is a monthly deal.
Renpure Shampoo & Conditioner is B1G1 Free. I just got some of the shampoo at Walgreens and really like it, so I may do this to up my purchase amt. Some of the bottles have a try me free hangtag, (I have one), so you could get two free after mail-in rebate!
Pretzel M&Ms are 2/$1 with a $1ECB. (limit 1) There was a $.75/2 in 7/11SS or a BOGO in a June insert--both make it a MM
Bayer Contour Blood Monitor $14.99 with $5ECB $10/1 4/25 RP. Makes it Free. Great to boost total, and I sell them or donate them.
Schick Intuition or Quattro $8.97 with $4 ECB. Use $4/1 June All You. Only $.97
Gillette Pro Glide similar deal as above with coupon from insert. I have already used mine up.
Celsius Green Tea 4-pk $7.99 = $7.99ECB (limit 1) Use $2/1 coupon makes it a MM
Pantene is 2/$6.97 with $2ECB when you buy 2 (limit 2) There are lots of coupons, mostly $1/2 or $1/1. I have a VocalPoint q for $1.50/1. I also have a CVS CRT (from the coupon machine in the store) for $2/1 Pantene product (can stack with a manufacturer's coupon). I have to check the expiration date though. My CVS will take all CVS coupons (even ECBs!!) as long as they scan--which is usually about 5-7 days past the exp. date. I LOVE my CVS!!
CVS Hand Sanitizing Pen. Price is probably around $1.99 Use coupon for freebie that I got by email
So, now you know what I look for. Hopefully I can round up my coupons and pull together $30 worth of items for cheap or free, making some $$ in the process.

Free CVS Hand Sanitizing Pen
Go HERE to enter your CVS ExtraCare Card number and your email. You will be sent a coupon for a free hand sanitizing pen from CVS.
Now, regardless of whether you can personally use something like this, you can get the coupon and use it to up your purchase total when using a $4 off $20 coupon or similar. Freebies like this are fantastic for that purpose!

CVS: Deal Scenario with $4 off $20 Coupon
Just to get the ideas rolling for you, this is what I did today at CVS.
Gillette ProGlide Power or Manual Razor $9.97 = $5 Ecb (Limit 1) Use $4/1 from 6/6 PG
Complete Multi-Purpose Solution 12 oz. $7.99 = $7.99 Ecb (Limit 1)
Use $2/1 from 5/16 RP
Minus the $4 off $20, $4 for razor and $2 for contact sol.
Total was about $11. I received $14.97 in ECBs! I made $4!!
I don't usually like to spend that much out of pocket. That's just what worked for me this week.
You can find a more complete CVS match-up at Hip2Save.
I'll try to write up some tips for shopping at CVS soon, if you would be interested.
I Bought:
Paper Mate Pens 10 ct. $0.99 = Ecb $0.99 (Limit 1) (only Sun., Mon. and Tues.)
Caliber 5″ Soft-Handle Scissors $0.99 = Ecb $0.99 (Limit 1) (only Sun., Mon. and Tues.)

CVS: Shopping Idea
Anyone else shopping at CVS lately? The last two weeks have been pretty great with the $1 off CRTs that have been printing every day. Below is a quick description of what I was able to do with some of these store coupons. The scenario is based on the promo running for P&G products -- Buy $25 and receive $10 ECB (includes Puffs, Charmin, Bounty and Duracell). Let me know if you have any questions about any of it. What have you been able to find at CVS or Walgreens lately?
So here is what I did yesterday. It is very YMMV. I read how some people were able to use the $1 off skin care CRT on other brands (because it states $1 off CVS Skin Care Purchase-- rather than "$1 off CVS Brand" like most CRTs). I used it on the Dial deal. So then yesterday I thought--HEY! Why not on the Puffs with lotion? So I went and asked my cashiers. They were really sweet, although a little skeptical, but said they would try it.
I bought 6 boxes of Puffs with lotion. I used my VocalPoint q's: $1/1 and 5 for $.50/1. I then gave her 2 $1 off skincare CRTs. Went through great! I then had another great idea and said--Hold on and let me get some TP too! She let me grab one of the packs of Charmin (that qualify for PG ECBs). I gave her four more CRTs (to use one for each box of Puffs), which created overage to go toward the TP. I then used some ECBs and only paid $1.XX for all of it. Best part-- on my receipt it shows $8 more till I get the $10ECB reward!
So today, I went, scanned my card and got my daily 2 CRTs. I took it and another skincare CRT I had left and bought 2 more boxes of Puffs. They were free and now my receipt says $6 until ECB reward!!! I will probably buy some batteries to finish it off, just have to get a hold of a $2 off coupon.

Feelin Some CVS Love
Up until lately, I have not lived close enough to a CVS to really get a roll on the system. Well, now that I am less than 5 minutes from both CVS and Walgreens, I will say with just a hint of embarrassment, that I have been there almost every day--at least the last week or two.
If you aren't too familiar with CVS, it uses a card to keep track of your rewards and purchases. There is a scanner/coupon machine in most stores that allows you to scan your card once a day and spits out CVS coupons. They can be different for every person, but everyone gets the last two coupons (or often the only two--I rarely get any others) of the day. This week they have been $1 off any CVS paper product AND $1 off any CVS skincare product. Since both of these coupons can get you free items, I am trying to scan my card everyday.
Here are some ideas to maximize these CRT coupons. Paper product can be anything: single TP roll, single paper towel roll, notebook paper, tissues, etc. Skincare: there is a cocoa butter tube for $.99, or look for lip balm, trial size lotion, etc. Single rolls of TP will be 2/$1 next week! That's what I am saving for. Either 2 rolls for each of my coupon, or overage!!! (not sure yet if it will work for overage--plus I can always use more TP)
CVS has also been really good about sending out $5 off $25 coupons lately (register your card online and sign up for emails). I have been using these CRTs that get me free stuff to help reach my total. The $5 off, if given first, is before all other coupons. Sweet! Last week I was able to get tons of shampoo, cereal, gallon of milk, etc. and paid $1.44. Got back a $3 ECB! (ECBs are like register rewards) This happened because of the $5 off coupon and all the CRT coupons I had been saving up. Another tip: I have been told that some CVS stores are willing to take the CRT coupons at least a week past the expiration--so if it's a good one, give it a shot!
