Trip notes: I just had to use the $5 off $30! lol I always check my receipt again when I get in the car. I noticed the cashier took off $3.98 instead of $1.99 for the Speed Stick so I went back in to pay. He said since the coupon said up to $3.98 he gave it to me. :)

ECB's remaining: $19
Thanks Simply CVS!
WOW! You guys are having crazy CVSing weeks for sure--I'm drooling. I am having a crazy busy week and not sure I am going to be able to stop in at all!!!!!
Thanks for sharing, I love reading everyone's great finds.
In spite of not having some of the better coupons (someone stole my coupons on 1/15/12 out of my newspaper and can't find the all you colgate coupon) and not needing toothpaste or deodorant, I was in the mood to get back to CVS. I will donate. Here is what I bought:
3xColgate Total Advanced $2.74 each
2xLady Speed Stick deo $1.99 each
1 Skintimate shave cream
Used: 3x$1 Colgate reinventing beauty q
$.50 Colgate man q
B1G1 speed stick -$3.99
I thought I had left over money on a CVS cash card but it came up as $0 left so OOP $10.17 including tax and received $10 ECBs.
Oh yeah. The Pronutrients are working with the buy (2) get $4 ECBs for Centrum products. I dug up another $5 pronutrient coupon and used $4.00 ECB and got $4.00 back!
I was just going to get the free Cadbury egg and Hallmark cards this week until the Skintimate deal (and glitch?) went viral online and of course, I had to try it out myself!
Sunday:
3 X 99c Hallmark cards, get $3 ECB
Cadbury caramel egg, 87c, get 87c ECB
I had to go to 4, yes, FOUR different CVS's until I found the Cadbury egg (aren't I so lucky that I have so many around me? :)) Most didn't have their Easter candy in yet.
Monday:
I found four Skintimate shaving creams at the CVS by my work that were $3.99 and had $2 peelies! I was *SO* excited. I bought 2 at a time; each gave a $4 ECB so each transaction I got $8 back. I essentially MADE $8 from doing this deal!!
From what I've read online this deal is now dead :(
I've also read that people got crazy large ECB's like $64... I wouldn't know what to do with it! I'm already somewhat fretting over what to do with my $8 ones...
Awesome CVS week!

Still waiting for my MQs that I bought on eBay but I plan to get 30 cases of Canada dry (probably need to visit a # of stores to scrap together renmants, if any). Planning on using $2/3 MQs and $10/$30 CVS gift cards. Saves me a lot on my Seltzer intake. Obviously not an EB run but still worth it. I only got 25% off and free shipping for online purchases in my accounts this week.
Kristen, sounds like you had a great trip despite all the problems.
You guys are all getting such great deals, still doesn't look like I'll be able to go this week, but just maybe. Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy "shopping" thru your posts.
If I figured this out correctly, there is a Phizer rebate for $10 with you purchase 3 qualified items.
Pronutrients $9.99 this week=$29.97
(3) $5 off coupons
(1) CVS $4 off Pronutrients
= $10.97
Used $4 ECB and earned it back
= $6.97
(I used a $5ECB from a past MM)
$1.97
submit for $10 rebate, and $8 MM.
Will not be the same for everyone, but a good deal for me and I've got a ton of vitamins now!
Did that make sense?
I'm envious of all you getting the email coupons. I used to get them until a few months ago...now don't get anything... Thinking about getting rid of my CVS card and getting a new one...how do I do that??

I was really excited about the clearance Pull Ups, I had bought 3 last week when they were only 50% off, but glad to find them this week at 75% off. We are about to start potty training with our little one!
Christina, great deal. In my savings figuring I would not count my extra bucks until I use them--just like you did here, you didn't count the $4 you earned this time. So looking at this early in the morning :-) it looks right to me.
Sara, I just used up all of my extra bucks and waited until after the quarterly bucks printed and then started using a new card and threw the old one away. You can get a new one and have all your balances transferred to the new one. No idea if either prompts the emails, but I did start getting them again.
I wanted to share how awful my CVS trip was this week when the manager humiliated me and mocked me for using coupons. Then I asked for a price correction on an item after I noticed the price difference on the receipt on top of all of my ECB’s not printing. The manager would not make the price correction and mocked me in front of other customers for asking for $1 back. I caution everyone to play very close attention to the receipt before you walk out of the store. I was completely embarrassed by the manager but I am happy to report that corporate called. After the representative apologized for the incident (I reported it) she offered to correct the price difference and would inform the district manager for proper follow-up. Thank you CVS for taking customers concerns into consideration! I love CVS and I am going to stick to self checkout from this point on!
Awesome shopping trip!!
KVBQN, CVS customer service is tops. They really take it seriously and whenever a store employee "mistreats" a customer they will be informed if the customer calls it in. Even minor infractions are treated as important to CVS. sorry you had such a bad experience.
