• CVS: Allegra 180 (30 Count) for $2

    For those of you who are suffering along with me during this heighten pollen season there is a way to get relief without breaking your budget.  I was able to get Allegra 180 (which I used to take with a prescription) for $2.83 without using any of my ECB’s from previous purchases.

    Here’s how you get it:

    • Buy 1 Box of Allegra 180 (30 count) on sale at CVS this week for $18.83
    • Use $5.00 coupon for Allegra you receive by scanning your at the in store kiosk
    • Use $4.00 coupon for Allegra you receive by scanning your at the in store kiosk (I was able to use both store coupons, so go ahead stack them)
    • Use $2.00 Allegra Manufacturer’s Coupons Attached to the in store displays (Walgreens also has $2 off coupons on their displays), take one and use it when you check out
    • Receive a $5 ECB back with your purchase

    Our originally the Allegra 180 for a month was $18.83 but by using and stacking the 3 coupons plus the ECBs.  You can’t beat $2 for allergy medicine for 30 days.  If you are like me you may only have to use it once in awhile so it could last you even longer.  Make sure to always scan your card at the in store kiosk whenever you can.  I make it a habit to do it each time I am in the store, sometimes I use the coupons and other times I don’t but it doesn’t hurt to check it out!

    Another great way to help with allergies is buy local honey and have a teaspoon twice a day.  Most of the year I do great but during high pollen season I can really get stuffy and my eyes start itching.

    When you shop the CVS sales regularly and have ECB’s that you can roll over toward future purchases the bonus ECB’s start adding up (Green Bag Tags and Beauty Club).  As you can see from my shopping trip today you don’t have to purchase a lot to save money when shopping at CVS.  Plus you can use the additional ECB’s you receive towards your next purchase.  You can pick and chose what is best for your family.

    I would love to hear your CVS shopping story for this week!  For those of you who shop regularly at CVS please share how you were able to save this week!  Although the weekly ad sales are similar every family and situation is different so you may have found items better suited to your household.  In your comment please feel free to share a link to your blog article showing us how you were able to save shopping at CVS.

  • CVS Savings: Use Your “Green Bag Tag” & Earn ECB’s

     

    You can earn bonus ECB’s (Extra Care Bucks) by purchasing the Green Bag Tag.  If you go to CVS regularly you should consider getting it.

    • It costs $0.99 to buy the tag (I used an ECB to buy it a couple months ago).
    • The Green Bag Tag is scanned when you check out and you earn ECB’s for using it.
    • Every 4th visit to CVS that you bring and scan your Green Tag you will earn $1 ECB.

    How to sign up?

    • Ask the clerk at the store for a Green Bag Tag.   When you purchase the Green Bag Tag with your Rewards Card it becomes linked to your account so you can get the bonus ECB’s every time you use it.

    I have a reusable CVS bag in the van with the Green tag attached to it so I can quickly grab it when I head into the store.  The Green Tag can be scanned any time after scanning your first item (unlike your Rewards Card that can be scanned before any items).  Always make sure that they scan it, sometimes new employees are not aware of it.  Also, double check on your receipt to make sure it is updated with your recent Green Bag Tag use.  Each receipt will show you how many total Green Bag Tags you have used and how many more you need to get your next bonus ECB.  Even though I have only had it a couple months I have been able to earn $4 extra ECB’s using the Green Bag Tag.  At one time (several months ago) they offered it free after ECB’s but even if you have to pay the $0.99 to get it the Green Bag Tag will pay for itself pretty quickly.

  • Top Deals: CVS Deals without Coupons!

    I have been away on a cruise so I am getting back into the swing of life this week.  Since I had a couple ECB’s about ready to expire I decided to stop by CVS on my way home from Karlie’s doctor appointment.  I haven’t had time to organize my coupons yet so I wasn’t anticipating a great deal on anything.  A lot of the Revlon products were on clearance for 75% off plus I received a coupon from the CVS kiosk for $5 off any 2 Revlon products and $4 in ECBs back after purchasing $10 in Revlon products.

    Here is what I got on my trip to CVS:

    • 1 Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara – $10.49 markdown to $2.62
    • 1 Revlon Beyond Natural Cream to Powder Eye Shadow – $8.28 markdown to $2.07
    • 1 Revlon Color Stay Active Light Makeup with SPF 25 – $12.79 markdown to $3.19
    • 2 Revlon Nail Enamel (Red Hot Tamale) – $5.49 markdown to $1.37 each
    • 1 Revlon Nail Enamel (Tropical Temptation) – $5.49 markdown to $1.37
    • 1 Heart Shape Necklace (set of 2) – $0.99 (for my girls for Valentines Day)
    • 1 Crest Pro Health Complete Mouth Rinse – $3.99

    Without using manufacturers coupons, only the kiosk coupon as well as a couple ECBs my total came to $3.99!  I was able to save $52.97 and received $8.99 in ECBs back.

    The following  ECBs I received back totaling $8.99:

    • $3.99 ECB for Crest Pro Health Complete Mouth Rinse
    • $4.00 ECB for purchasing $10 in Revlon products
    • $1.00 ECB for using my Green Bag Tag (I don’t get this every time but it adds up over the year)

    Thrilled to get such a wonderful deal without using my manufacturers coupons!  I am sure it would have been even better if they were organized from my time away but I am thankful I was able to get a sweet deal regardless.  The girls are ready to paint their toenails now!
