My viggle doesn’t have cvs gift cards anymore… I’m soooo sad, I was saving for something like this and now its gone…
Gretchen says
The CVS gift card comes and goes. If I don’t see it, I look again in a few days and usually it’s there.
Chelsea says
I was so excited to see a CVS open in our area, and I have only been once! I have been too intimidated to try the deals because it seems like a lot to keep track of. Clearly I’m missing out- I just need to jump in 🙂
Patrina says
I got started by trying to mimic one of the easier deals on here. Choose one that you can use the items and have the exact coupons. I printed it and headed to CVS. It was a success and gave me the confidence to try a few on my own after that. Jump in there girly! There are free products to be “bought”.

call the store and talk to someone about your 1.10 coupon for the crest. i bet they will tell you to bring it in and they will give it to you on your next visit. write their name down on your receipt. that’s what i would do.

Sandy says
Great job!
I too, bought 3 packages of diapers, and 1 tube of Desitin. I used 2 $3 MFQs, 1 $2.00 MFQ, 1 $6/$30 CVS MCM q and a $5 and a $10 ECB. My total was 1.47 plus tax OOP and I got back a $12 ECB for a total expense of $4.47 plus tax.
Yesterday I bought 2 1-liter bottles of Crest Pro Health at $4.99 each, 2 tubes Colgate Max Fresh toothpaste at $2.99 each, 1 tube Crest toothpaste at $2.99, 1 box of CoCoa Puffs at $2.49, 1 bag of M & M’s and 1 M & M candy bar at $1.19 each. I had a $3/$15 CVS MCM q, 2 $1.10 Crest Pro Health q’s, 1 $2/2 Colgate q, 1 50 cent Crest q, 1 BOGO M & M q and a $5 and a $10 ECB. My total was .31 with $16 back in ECB for a total expense of a .69 profit!
Sandy says
I forgot to mention, I also had a .50 CVS MCM q towards the CoCoa puffs.
Jennifer says
On the Huggies deal – If I have a 25% off coupon, does the $30 have to be after the discount or is it before? For example can I just by 3 packages of Huggies@ 9.49 =28.47 Plus one Desitin for $3 = $31.47. I would get 25% off the Huggies because they are not on sale. =31.47-7.12=24.35. Does this still count as having spent $30 for the $12 ECB?
Kimber says
The great thing about CVS is that the $30 total is before coupons! But unfortunately, $9.49 is a sale price – the normal price is around $12, I believe. 🙁
Amie says
As Kimber mentioned, the sale price is $9.49 so your coupon wouldn’t take anything off. FYI: The percentage off coupons take a total off and don’t reduce the price of individual items. I believe that the percentage off coupons calculate after the store coupons and ECBs you use to pay have been deducted.
Angie says
Hi!
This is a great series, and I’m amazed at the deals!! I know I must have missed this in the past, but who’s Gretchen? I just keep wondering! 🙂
Crystal says
She’s my sister. 🙂 I introduced her in the first post, but I know it was easy to miss.
Kristen @ Joyfullythriving says
I hate it when my printable coupons stick together! I often try to stick my newspaper coupons in between printable ones, alternating every other, so this doesn’t happen as much. I try not to let it bother me either when they still do stick…ha. 🙂
Kristin says
I fold one the top corner of my printable coupons to prevent them from sticking. Its seems to help! 🙂
Gretchen says
This is a great idea! I’m going to have to try it now. 🙂
Amie says
Great job! I did the CVS diaper deal with my and my husband’s card. I was emailed a $5/30 and he was emailed a $10/40.

4 local papers for the coupons – used $10/40, 10 EBCS, $5 CVS swag bucks card and paid $5 and change oop, including tax. Ended with $12 ECBs
My card:
4 Huggies – 3x $3 off Huggies coupons, -$2 off Huggies coupon

I was very happy to get such great deals on diapers.
