CVS is looking good with FREE UP2U gum and ThermaCare! This week we’ll be continuing from where we left off last week with $4 ECB, if you missed it you can still pick up from here and be ready for next week. This weeks scenario can be done by both beginner and advanced shoppers! I hope by now everyone has picked up a Green Bag Tag and are receiving the $1 ECB back for every 4th scan!
If you don’t need to purchase diapers you can leave them off and have $4 ECB for next weeks scenario. It may look like a lot of transactions but there is 1-2 items in each and should go very quickly! If you’re new to muti transactions know that if others get in line you can pay and go to the end of the line which also gives you a moment to re-group and be ready for the next one when it’s your turn again.
You can go HERE and read my CVS 101 if you are new and have some questions. View the CVS weekly deals HERE.
***CVS scenario will spend $5.35+ tax and save $32.62! Get $4*** ECB’s for next weeks scenario. You’ll walk away with $37.97 worth of products!***
If you don’t go to CVS for your free gum, don’t forget that you can price match to Walmart. Just a heads up for the CVS ad this week there are some good deals that you will be able to price match. The first thing that jumped out at me was the Up2U and Mentos Gum deals. These are priced at $3/3 and $.99.
At Walmart, the Up2U gum is normally priced at $1.28. STARTING Sunday, you can take the CVS ad and price match the Up2U gum for $.99 and use the $1/1 Mentos Up2U Pack, exp. 3/31/12 (SS 02/05/12 R) to get it FREE!
These are the coupons that you can use:
Buy Up2U gum for $.99 (price match to CVS)

If you want to make a last minute run to CVS, the deals that reader Jen did will expire today! You only have until midnight to do these.
Jen had previously ordered formula from her CVS and they called today to let her know that it was in. Since she was running up anyway, she made a plan from the CVS weekly list and from the scenario list.
Jen started with ECB’s from previous week and this week, 20% coupon, $10 off $50,and (2) Similac checks.
Transaction 1:
(2) Right Guard Total Defense 5
(6) Ludens cough drops
(2) Vicks Natural Fusion
(12) Palmolive dish soaps
(6) Garnier Stylers
(6) Speed Sticks–RAINCHECK
(1) Duracell D Batteries
Total OOP: $41.51
Got back: $10 CVS Card and $17ECB
Transaction 2:
(10) Similac Allimentum Formula ($10.49 each)
Total OOP: $.72
Now, she didn’t give me the break down on coupons etc. but the reason that I liked her deal was that her first transaction total was large. Sometimes to make deals work they have to be. If you have a $10 off $50 you need to get to $50 before coupons, that is a lot of products. Your total will still be high, but you have that extra $10 off that in the long run will make each item cheaper.
Thanks for sharing Jen!
