CVS Finds

CVS Free-Bees May 5-11, 2019

This week at CVS was awesome!  I was able to secure 7 items for free and an additional  7
items at a extremely reduced price. Now all couponers do need to pay the tax, but through
rolling my ECB the rest of the items were only $0.20.  WOW!
Let’s take a look:

2 Colgate Toothpaste:
Cost: $3.49 x2 = $6.98
Coupon: $4.00 off of 2
Out of Pocket Expense= $2.98
ECB: $4.00 ($2.00 per toothpaste)
Final Cost: MONEY MAKER of $1.02
2 Covergirl Eyebrow Liner:
Cost: $4.99 x2 = $9.98
Coupon: $2.00 X 2
Out of Pocket Expense= $5.98
ECB: $7.00
Final Cost: MONEY MAKER of $1.02
2 Speed Stick Deodorant:
Cost: 2 for $5.00 =  $5.00
Coupon: $0.50 X 2 = $1.00
CRT: $1.00 off 2
Out of Pocket Expense= $3.00
ECB: $2.50
Final Cost: $0.50 (Used overage to cover this item.)

Soft Soap Hand Soap:
Cost: $1.99
Instant Coupon: $1.00
Coupon: $0.50
Out of Pocket Expense= $0.49
Final Cost: $0.49 ( Used overage to cover this item)


5 Glass Containers w/ plastic screw lids- I thought these would be perfect for making yogurt
or as containers for my drying herbs his summer.  Each container was $0.45.
Cost: $0.45 x 5 = $2.25


2 Kitchen cleaning brushes- My kitchen brush is starting to look a little worn and I have been
pricing brushes lately.  I have found the price range from cheap $1.00 brushes up to $4.00
ones. The brushes I was able to get today were well made and should hold up for a while.
 As a bonus, they were only $0.75 each.

Cost: $0.75 X 2 = $1.50
Our final cost breakdown:
Out of Pocket cost : $16.20
Redeemed EBC: $16.00
Tax: $2.00
Total Bill = $2.20
Received $13.50 in ECB

This puts me at 7 items free after ECB’s and 7 items that were heavily discounted.
