The deals keep on comin' - this time from CVS!


How much do you think all of these items (plus 4 jugs of Pedialyte, not pictured) would cost if you paid retail price? $80??? $100??? More? How about $117.91 - does that sound accurate? (hint..... it is accurate) :-)
Tonight at CVS I paid $41.64 for all of this, plus the 4 Pedialytes that are not in the photo! Just the diapers and Claritin alone would usually cost about $50 .... I am quickly learning that pairing sale prices with coupons can save HUGE amounts of cash. Also, CVS offers Extra Care Bucks (ECB) for purchases - for example, CVS is running a special this week where if you buy $25 worth of qualifying baby products, you get $10 in ECBs. Here's what I did:
4 Pedialytes (usually $5.99, on sale for $4.99) = $19.96
2 Johnson&Johnson Lotions (usually $4.99, on sale for $.299) = $5.98
Total baby products = $25.94 (qualifies for $10 ECB)
Minus the following coupons:
2 Buy one, get one free Pedialyte = - $11.98
2 $1.50 off Pedialyte = - $3.00
2 $1 off J&J products = -$2.00
Total out of pocket: $8.96
If you subtract the $10 in ECB that I can use like cash to my next purchase, it's a $1.04 money maker!
For anyone with babies/toddlers, here are a few coupons you may like (act fast, some of these expire in mid-April):
