Starting next week 2/12 you can pick up diet coke 12 pack 3/$10 limit 6! If you have two computers you can print up to four times and the final price will be $2.67 each!
Buy 2 Diet Coke 12 packs – $6.63
Use $1/2 Diet Coke 12 packs coupon

This week we’ll be continuing from where we left off last week, if you missed it you can still pick up from here and be ready for next week. I seen that the mail in rebate was regional (bummer) but even without the MIR it was still a money maker after ECB’s! Skip the Nivea this week, there will be coupons for the 2/12 ad + ECB deal! You can see the CVS weekly deals HERE.
I also wanted to remind beginners to scan your CVS card at the red box. I often get great store coupons that make a good deal even better! These are store coupons that will “stack” with your manufacturer coupons = extra savings!
You might also consider purchasing a “Green Bag Tag” for $.99 found at the register. What you do with this tag is hang it on reusable bag you bring in the store with you (above). I found the best way is to keep a fold able bag in my purse. You can scan you “Green Tag” once daily at checkout (the cashier will do this). For every 4 scans a $1 ECB will print!
You can go HERE and read my CVS 101 if you are new and have some questions.
