I was also planning on buying the new Huggies Denim Diapers, but they didn’t have the size I needed. I was kind of bummed because I think they are super cute, plus I had some great coupons for them ($3 off manufacturer coupon and $1 off CVS coupon).

So, every few months I will receive an e-mail from CVS asking me to take a survey about CVS. The program is actually called CVS Advisor Panel and you can learn more about it HERE.

Basically, CVS will e-mail you surveys to take about your experiences with CVS and in return you can earn ExtraCare Bucks! If you take the survey, but do not qualify to finish it, you will earn around $2 ECB. But if you qualify and complete the survey you can earn up to $15 ECB! You will need to have a CVS ExtraCare card, but those are free!

I was just offered a survey a couple days ago and I qualified for it and completed it and I earned $15 ECB for a survey that only took about 30 minutes!

So sign up for the CVS Advisor Panel HERE!!

I just received a e-mail from CVS with a coupon for $5 off my next purchase of $25 or more! Yay, I LOVE these coupons!

Here is a tip on how to maximize your savings at CVS. When checking out, hand your coupons over in this order:

1st – Coupons for $ off $$. EX: $5 off $25 or $10 off $50
2nd – Manufacturer coupons
3rd – CVS store coupons
4th – ExtraCare Bucks

What are your favorite deals this week?

I took advantage of the Pampers deal at CVS this week! Read more about that HERE and other great CVS deals this week HERE.

Bought:
2 – Pampers Cruisers Jumbo Diapers, $8.97 each
1 – Play-Doh Set, $4.69 (needed filler to make $20, plus will be birthday gift)

Used:
2 – $2/1 Pampers Cruisers Diapers, exp. 3-31-10 (P&G 02/21/10)
$4 off $20 purchase (received by e-mail)
$6.00 ECB’s (read how I use ECB’s HERE)

Paid: $8.63
Received: $6 ECB’s for Pampers ($3 each), $1 ECB for Green Bag Tag

Also, the limit on the Pampers deal is not 2, which is stated in the ad. I bought 2 packs and on my receipt it printed:
Pampers, Buy 1 Get 3 ECB
Quantity Toward this Reward – 2
Quantity Needed to Earn Reward – 1

So you can do the deal at least 3 times, but I’m not sure how many, if any, more times after that.

March 21-27 at CVS, Pampers Jumbo Packs of Diapers & Easy-Ups will be on sale for $8.97 and will offer a $3.00 ECB, limit 2.

Use 2 of the following coupons to score 2 packs of Pampers Diapers or Easy-Ups for as low as $3.97 a pack after ECB’s:

-$2/1 Pampers Cruisers Diapers, exp. 3-31-10 (P&G 02/21/10)
-$1.50/1 Pampers Diapers or Pants, exp. 3-31-10 (P&G 02/07/10)
-$1.50/1 Pampers Easy Ups Trainers, exp. 3-31-10 (P&G 02/07/10)
-$2/1 Select Pampers Diapers, exp. 4-30-10 (RP 03/14/10)

Go HERE to learn how my OOP will only be $3.97 per pack, and yours can too!

CVS is running an ExtraCare Bucks promotion this week involving Easter Candy. The deal goes like this: Buy $10 worth of Easter candy and you will receive $3 ECB’s.

Well, my favorite part about ECB deals that require a certain dollar amount be purchased is that it doesn’t have to all be purchased in the same trip, just throughout the same week!

As for the cheap Orbit Gum… the 3-packs are on sale for $1.50 this week at CVS, combine that with the $1 printable coupon for any Orbit multipack, and you have yourself 3 packs of gum for only $0.50!

UPDATE: Coupon no longer available, but if you had already printed it now is the time to use it!

It gets better… the Orbit Gum multipacks are apart of the Easter Candy deal! I didn’t realize this until after I looked at my receipt when I got home today.

I bought two multipacks of gum, used two $1 off coupons, paid only $1 out-of-pocket for the two packs of gum, and am $3 closer to the $10 minimum to earn $3 ECB’s!!

What is your favorite flavor of Orbit gum?

A note on how I spend my ECB’s: I will only spend as many ECB’s as I earn so I won’t ever “lose” ExtraBucks. But if I can whiddle my total down with coupons so I don’t have to use as many ECB’s as I’m earning, then I “earn” ExtraBucks.

For example, if a bottle of shampoo costs $3.00, but you earn $3.00 ECB’s when you buy it, then I justify using $3.00 ECB’s on that shampoo when I buy it. But if I have a coupon for that shampoo, say $1.00 off, then my total would only be $2.00, so I only have to spend $2.00 ECB’s, but I still earn the $3.00 ECB’s. That is how you make ExtraBucks, essentially making money (ECB’s are as good as cash at CVS!).

Every quarter, CVS will print extra ExtraCare Bucks on your receipt. These are ECB’s that you have earned the previous quarter (three months).

I received my e-mail this morning letting me know I would receive $2.50 ECB’s on my next receipt. Plus, I also received a $5 off $25 purchase coupon as well!

I finally made it to CVS this week to use my $5 off $30 coupon I received by e-mail. If you aren’t signed up to receive e-mail, you definitely need to do that! Here is what I bought:

1 – Pampers Cruisers, $8.88
1 – Desitin, 2 oz, $2.99
1 – Revlon Moondrops Lipstick, $6.99
1 – Listerine, 500 mL, $3.99
1 – Nivea Bodywash, $5.99
3 – CVS Pocket Tissue, $0.50 each (filler to add up to $30)

$5.00 off $30.00 Purchase
$1.00 off Pampers
$1.00 off Desitin
$2.00 off Revlon Color Cosmetic
$1.00 off Listerine
$1.00 off Listerine, CVS coupon
$1.00 off Nivea Bodywash
$1.00 ECB (Green Bag Tag)
$3.00 ECB (Sudafed)
$8.99 ECB (Zantac)

Received:
$3.00 ECB, Listerine
$5.00 ECB, Revlon Lipstick
$5.00 ECB, Nivea Bodywash

ARV: $30.33
Total OOP: $5.34

Savings: $24.99, 82.4%

I only bought a couple of things at CVS this week, but knowing me, I will probably find something else to get later in the week. Here is what I picked up:

1 – Zantac Cool Mint, 24 ct, $8.99
1 – Sudafed PE, 36 ct, $6.99

$1.00 off any Zantac product
$2.00 off Sudafed PE or OM
$3.00 off $15.00 or more purchase, received in e-mail
$5.00 ECB from Huggies deal last week

Received:
$1.00 ECB, 4^th Scan of Green Bag Tag
$8.99 ECB, Zantac
$3.00 ECB, Sudafed

ARV: $15.98
Total OOP: $4.98

I probably wouldn’t have gotten the Sudafed if I didn’t have the $3.00 off a $15.00 or more purchase, but Zantac is used daily in our house so that is like getting it for free!

I went back to CVS for the second time this week because I didn’t realize Pull-Ups were apart of the Huggies Diaper Deal. I had some great coupons for Pull-Ups, so here is what I did:

2 – Huggies Pull-Ups, $9.50 each
1 – Huggies Pull-Ups, $9.49

1 – $2.00 off any Pull-Ups
2 – $3.00 off any Pull-Ups
$2.00 ECB from Tums deal this week
$17.98 ECB from Complete Multipurpose Solution deal this week

Received $5.00 ECB for buying $20.00 worth of Huggies

ARV: $28.49
Total OOP: $0.51

This week at CVS could have been better but I found a couple of great ECB deals! Here is what I did:

2 – Complete Multipurpose Solution, $8.99 each
2 – Tums Ultra 72 ct, $3.99 each

2 – $1.00 off Complete Multipurpose Solution
1 – $1.00 off 2 Tums, mftr coupon
2 – $2.00 off Tums, CVS coupon
$7.00 ECB from Revlon deal last week
$10.00 ECB from cold medicine deal last week

Received:
2 – $8.99 ECB, one for each Complete Multipurpose Solution
2 – $1.00 ECB, one for each Tums

ARV: $25.96
Total OOP: $1.96

One note: if you buy both Complete Multipurpose Solutions in the same transaction, your ECB’s will print off as one $17.98 ECB. The same with the Tums; you will get one $2.00 ECB

I went back to CVS again today because my mother told me that she needed some new make-up. Here is what I bought:

1 Kleenex tissue, $0.99
1 Revlon Brow Pencil & Gel, $7.99
1 Revlon Eyeliner w/ Smudger, $9.99

$1.00 off Kleenex tissue, CVS coupon
2 – $2.00 off Revlon product, mftr coupons
$2.00 ECB from Suave body wash deal earlier this week

Received $7.00 ECB for buying $15.00 of Revlon products

Actual Retail Value: $20.28
Total OOP: $12.96
