Thanks to Beth on Facebook who commented about getting a $3 off $10 cosmetic coupon from the “magic coupon” machine! If you are in a CVS MAKE SURE to scan your card and cross your fingers that you get one of these babies!

Beth got her L’Oreal free with the coupon, here’s how:

Buy 2 L’Oreal Colour Rich lip color or lip liner products $5 each
Use the $3 off $10 Cosmetics purchase from the machine
Then use 2 $2/1 coupons from the 5/1 RP
Total: $3
Get back a $3 ECB, making it basically free!

If you are new to CVS, you can read my CVS 101 HERE to help you get started. I also have a little video of how to make a transaction HERE if that would help.

CVS is my favorite place to shop! They have such good deals each week. Like many people before I started couponing I would have never bought anything in a CVS, they were too expensive! Read over my CVS 101 to get started.

Here is a super easy one…

If you are new to CVS try to do this deal to see how easy it is:

• Walk in and scan your CVS card at the Red Machine in the store. Just for fun to see what good coupons you get!
• Now, grab 2 of the Excedrin 8ct. boxes for $.99 each
• Purchase one of them, hand the cashier your CVS card and pay the total.
• Then on the bottom of your receipt, rip off the $.99 ECB that you just got back.
• Purchase the 2nd box of Excedrin, give the cashier your CVS card, then hand the cashier the ECB that you ripped off your receipt and use it to pay for this purchase!
• Sweet! You just got 2 boxes of Excedrin for $.99, plus got $.99 BACK for next week!

Amber and Nikki both sent me emails about how good the coupons coming out of the machine at CVS were this week, but it took me a minute to realize HOW GOOD THEY WERE!

** If you are new to shopping at CVS, this is what to do: Grab your CVS card and when you get into the store find the red box that looks like one of the price scan machines you see at Target. Scan your CVS card under it and it will spit coupons out the side… crazy huh?! Many people are reporting that they are getting a $6 off 1 Color Stay coupon from this machine. These are CVS coupons which can be use with a manufacturer coupon. If you get one of these coupons then do this deal below. If you don’t get one you can try another day.

BUY: Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder $10.49, Regular Price
( ECB deal: Spend $10.00 on Revlon Cosmetics, Receive $4.00 Extra Care Buck, Limit 2)
Use $2.00/1 Revlon Cosmetics from SS 5/8 (regional)
Stack with $6.00/1 Revlon ColorStay CVS coupon from machine
Pay $2.49, Get back a $4.00 Extra Care Buck
Total:  $1.51 Moneymaker

CVS is really my favorite… shhhh don’t tell Walgreens! They just make it so easy for you to love them! If you are new and don’t know, you can print your ECB’s at home.

This is what to do:

• Head over here —> and log in or sign up for an account
• If you’re signing up for an account you’ll need your CVS number, it is on the back of your card.
• Then go up to “My Account” (upper right)
• Then click on “Go to my ExtraCare Account”
• Then go to the “ExtraCare Rewards and Coupons”

I find this really helpful at the end of the quarterly spending period. It makes it easy for me to plan my trips knowing how much I am getting back! Thanks Chi Town Cheapskates for the reminder.
