This was a GREAT Readers trip by Samantha. I wanted to show you how she did this and only paid $11.15 and $8 of that was on the Monsters 🙂

“I started out with a $4 & a $1 ECB so the $4 ECB paid for my 1st Schick Hydro Shave cream My CVS didn’t have the $2 peelie so I had to pay the full $3.99 I rolled that deal 5 more times with another $4 ECB at the end.” 

The Next Transaction I did: 
Buy (4) Nivea Lip Care – $10.00
used (2) $3/2 Nivea Lip Care Products, exp. 2/25/12 (RP 02/12/12)

The rumor is that the shaving cream unadvertised deal is back and I wanted to check it out myself…

Sure enough, it looks like it is! This is the deal:

Scan any of the Schick Hydro Shaving cream and see which ones are ringing up as $3.99. For me it was only the green sensitive kind. When you purchase it, you will get a $4 (unadvertised) ECB back. Making  it free. PLUS, this deal is rolling and you can use that $4 ECB to pay for another one!

** It looks as if the Skintimate’s are ringing up as $3.49, mine were NOT, so I didn’t try it. But if yours are, they should also have a $4 ECB. If you buy the Skintimate make sure to use the $.55 coupon in the 1/15 Smart Source.

This is what I did to get all of the above for only $2.29!:

Transaction #1 
Buy Schick Hydro Shave cream $3.99
Use $2 peelie on Hydro
Total: $1.99
Get Back $4 ECB

Transaction #2
Buy Schick Hydro Shave cream $3.99
Use $4 ECB from previous purchase
Total: $0
Get Back $4 ECB

Transaction #3
Buy Milk $3.29
Buy 2 Arizona Tea 2/$1
Use $4 ECB from previous purchase
Total: $.29

The CVS clearance was not that great. The deals were much better at Walgreens and Walmart. Plus, on CVS clearance you usually can not use coupons with the sale as they mark through the bar code. Funny thing is that the Valentines balloons were not even marked down!

I about fainted when I saw the “normal” price of a box of cereal at CVS. It is $8.79, are you CRAZY?!! I don’t always spend much time in the food section of CVS, it is usually mostly toiletries and occasionally a deal on peanut butter. For some reason today I glanced at the cereal…

When you are in CVS this week check out some of the clearance items. My store had the men’s Dial body wash on clearance for $2.74, there is a $1.00 off any TWO Dial Body Washes that you can use on them.

Men’s Dial Body Wash $2.74
Use $1.00 off any TWO Dial Body Washes
Total: $2.24 each

Go HERE to see the CVS weekly deals
Go HERE to see the CVS scenarios to work this deal in if you want them!

You can read my CVS 101 HERE if you want a refresher on how to shop there. I have a You Tube video, but I am not going to torture you with that this week! The deals are just ok, I wanted a really good week, but oh well!

Check back for the scenarios for beginners and advanced later today. Do you guys like those? Is it helpful? I just want to make sure that it is something you can use.
