At the beginning of this month, there were a mess of coupon inserts in the paper...so I bought three copies that week. Well that investment has SERIOUSLY paid itself back twice, thrice, etc. times over!
CVS has a current deal on Purex laundry detergent. Purex is on sale for $1.98 (limit of 4).
In the May 1st Red Plum, there is a coupon for $1 off 1 bottle of Purex. I had three copies...so I bought three....bringing my total cost for the three bottles to $2.94.
I'm starting to gather a little stockpile of laundry detergent...which is funny because I don't have a washing machine in my building and often take my laundry home to my parents' house or a friend's home. So guess who is getting all that detergent - MOM and DAD :) For all those years of supporting me, it's fun to see their faces when I show up with bags of stuff I've gotten for free that they no longer have to pay for. Yay!
They also had a great deal on Revlon nailpolish. For each $4.99 bottle, you got $4.00 in Extra Care bucks. There was a matching coupon in the May 8th Smart Source for $2 off 1 Revlon cosmetic. My teller was pretty confused as to what constituted a cosmetic, but he eventually gave me the $2 off each bottle (I had three coupons for this too). So my $14.97 total cost for nailpolish was brought down to $8.97.
This means that my total bill was $11.95 with taxes BUT I got $12 back in Extra Care Bucks (due to the nailpolish).
I was technically paid a NICKLE to take all those items home with me!
This is why I was at CVS today and found out about the "green bag tag." It was great! I am trying to stock pile enough stuff to send my sis a care package for her birthday in July. She doesn't have the temperament to coupon. LOL!
