Every time you go to CVS, make sure you scan your CVS card at the magic coupon machine. If you’ve never seen it before, the machine is a little red box on a pole that should be visible when you first enter the store. It will print out coupons that you can stack with manufacturer’s coupons giving you some really great deals.
When I was at the store yesterday I got a $2 off any two Stayfree pads coupon. Remember that Stayfree moneymaker that is good through 3/31? This is going to be a $4 moneymaker for me after the B1G1 coupon (I won’t bother with that extra $1 coupon)! Make sure to scan your card and see if you get this coupon too!
Mercedes recently got a $1 CVS Shampoo/Conditioner coupon. Since these already sell for $.99, she’s going to get a freebie there!
We used to see $2/2 Gold Emblem nuts. This will probably come around again soon. If you get that coupon, buy two of the $.99 nuts by the register to get those for free!
Also, don’t forget to check your emails from CVS. In the last email I got from them (on March 25) I got a coupon for my choice of a free CVS Body Wash or CVS Brownie or Cookie Dough Bites. Yum! Check your email to see if you got the coupon too!
