Why I'm looking forward to CVS tomorrow...

Everyone who even slightly dabbles in "couponing" knows that there are some deals you just get really, really excited about.

Well, there is such a deal for me this week at CVS. They have the big boxes of Pamper's diapers for $21.99 (not great, yet) before an Extra Care Buck (ECB) reward of $10. So really, they're only $11.99. That's like paying less than $0.15 a diaper.

But THEN, the little scanny thingie (such technical terms because I am a PRO, don't you know?) printed up two relevant coupons for me in the past couple of weeks. One is $4 off of a Pamper's big box. It expires on Saturday, but most CVS stores (ours included) start the next week's deals on the Saturday evening before.

The other one is $4 off of a purchase of diapers and wipes.

I also have a $3 off manufacturer's coupon (a catalina that printed at the grocery store) for any Pampers.

And I have $0.50 off of a pack of wipes (which will probably cost me around $3).

Oh- and I just checked my inbox for $5 off of a $25 purchase.

SO, I should be getting a pack of diapers and wipes for about $25 before any discounts.

Then $5 off my purchase (making it $20)

Then $3.50 off with manufacturer's coupons (making it 16.50)

And then at least $4, possibly $8 more off if both CVS coupons work together. (I think they will, most deals at CVS overlap like that- it's why it's the one place I HAVE to go almost every week. If so, the total will be $8.50. If not, $12.50).

Then, I'll get $10.oo ECB printing for the purchase.

SO (are you still with me?!) I'll either pay $2.50 total for a BIG box of diapers and a pack of wipes, OR CVS will pay ME $1.50 for taking them off of their hands.

Oh yeah. And I should get 1 more ECB for my Green Bag Tag this time around! Wahoo!!!!

Finally, there is a good deal on 12 pks of Coke products so I'll probably just turn around and use those ECB to stock up instead of taking a chance on losing them. Not that I'd ever be so disorganized... ha!


There are other freebies at CVS this week, too. Check out Southern Savers for complete CVS coupon match-ups.

Happy saving!



*If you're wondering, we are still using cloth diapers (and wipes). Actually, Little Sister is basically potty-trained except for wearing diapers at naptime and overnight. When she is home, we use our cloth. I still love them. But at school, she has to use disposables. We're almost out, but a box should get us through 4 or 5 more months at school! These might be the last diapers I ever have to purchase. That's one milestone with which I'm COMPLETELY okay!
