These are what I consider the best deals, this is not meant to be a complete listing of all sales and coupon deals in the store.
Final prices on a lot of the drug store deals are dependent on their rewards, ie: Register Rewards or Extra Care Bucks – Final prices reflect the price AFTER you consider the “reward” you receive.
Such as: If an item is $3 and it has a $3 “Reward” for purchasing it, I show it as FREE, however, that “Reward” cannot be used on that order, but, may be used on a future order – so keep that in mind when making your list. Your out of pocket will reflect a different amount if “rewards” are involved.

Hi Dian!
I am a college student that started seriously using coupons about two months ago and I always looked at your website and posts when I started! I still look for the deals coming up even though I work for one of the retailers. I started a blog, too about using coupons…. but it is more for people who already know how to use them. I do not know if anyone has posted about the green bag tags at cvs, so sorry if y’all already know about it. It is only 99 cents and when you go shopping you bring it in attached to your green bag. You scan it with your cvs card and the best part is every 4th visit you get an $1 extra care buck! For that I would remember to bring my bags!

Seashellie,
Thanks for the tip! That’s so great that you started your own site!
I have a few college students who have told me they use my site. I am so glad you guys are learning early and beginning to shop wisely now. I know it can help during college and up through the rest of your lives. At least now you can afford to eat more than Ramen!
Thanks!
Dian
My daughter gave me the bag for Mother’s Day! She knows how I love ECB’s and other coupons as well. She used to laugh at how much time I put into coupons, now she lives on her own she’s learned fast! So thank you Carly for the bag! I’ll enjoy those ECBs! Not to mention the bag is a beauty!
Hello Dian,
Thanks a lot for this website! I am a college student who just (yesterday) started collecting coupons. :yes: I have a quick question:
This week at CVS they have a buy 3 Vaseline/Dove/others and get a free Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion. So, my question is: besides using 3 $1.25 RP Qs for each of the first 3 products, can I also use the $3.75 RP Q for the “free” product? This would give me a total of $10.50 for all 4 products, about $2.63 each. Not bad for products that are usually more than $6. But I am not sure if I can use a coupon for a free product.
Thank you,
Isabela
@Isabela: Hi, and welcome! Feel free to ask any questions you may have!
Here is an excerpt from a letter written by a CVS Customer Relations agent:
So, according to what is written, we see that it is ok to use 2 Q’s on 2 products when they are B1G1 FREE. So, the same reasoning applies to buy 3 get 1 FREE. You can read the entire letter here: http://www.groceryshopforfree.com/store-coupon-policies/cvs/
Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks,
Dian
Thank you very much. I’m gonna print this letter and carry it with me.
Isabela
@Isabela: I suggest everyone do that with all store coupon policies, it just makes it easier.
Happy shopping!
Dian
My CVS has adult wipes clearanced for .49, 16 ct package travel size. The package says to moisten the skin and leave feeling fresh. I was allowed to use the skin care CVS coupon from the Coupon Center Machine up front. They will go to my son (Marine Corps) in Afghanistan.
Lisa,
That’s awesome! I was so happy this week when I was able to pick up 120 disposable razors for FREE at WalMart and deliver them to the Night Shelter here in town. I would love for us all to learn to do so well in our shopping that we are able to help others, too!
Thanks!
Dian
CVS brand facial cleansers are buy 2 get 1 free this week. The pore cleansing scrub is $6.49. CVS website has a $2 off coupon. Print 3 (use 2 computers), get 3 for $6.98 or $2.33 each!
@Jamie: Thanks Jamie, That’s a great deal! I posted it for everyone! Thanks again!
Dian
Dian,
Will CVS allow us to purchase 2 gillette body wash AND 2 old spice body wash? Also, tell me if I am wrong but the way my math works (or doesn’t 1/2 the time) when you use the bogo and the 4/2 you get two $4.00 RR for a profit of $8.00. My family does not need any more hygiene products (we are well stocked for at least a year) but I still look for great deals because homeless shelters, church, or any charity is always happy to except these types of products.
In his name…god bless
Robin,
Sorry it took so long to reply, I was out.
The ad looks like it is Mix or Match Limit 2, but, it really isn’t specific. It has 1 of each in the ad next to each other.
You are correct in the $8. It says: Old Spice or Gillette Body Wash You Pay $4 – ECB’s $4 – it doesn’t mention having to buy 2 to get the $4 RR!
Great catch!! Thanks!
Hope I made sense to you!
Dian
i was wondering if this deal worked out for you or not?
TIA
Jade
jade » Which deal are you referring to?
Thanks!
Dian
I just wanted to share something interesting that happened to me doing the Old Spice deal today. When I checked out with the BOGO body wash coupon it didn’t deduct the $4 sale price but the full retail value of $5.29. Not really paying that much attention until I got out of the store, I realized there was no $4 deduction and went back in to ask. The cashier said it deducted the coupon before the sale price was recorded with my card.
It sounded kind of odd to me, but he insisted it was ok, so I had a $5,29 profit! Was it a fluke? Anyone else?
@Karen: He should have run your card, first. Sometimes it will go bad for you if they forget to run the card first. They usually ask if you have your card before they scan coupons, he did it backwards. In that situation, I don’t think, as a customer you can insist he do it the other way, after the fact, unless you are owed money. I did the same deal yesterday and he ran my card first and it came out right.
Wait! I take that back, I just got out my receipt and you’re right, it did take off $4.99 not $4. I know he ran my card first… oh well. It’s the way the computer was set up on this one. I asked a friend and she said at her store the it beeped and the cashier had to manually adjust the price.
So, I guess some of the computers are ringing it that way and others are not.
Thanks!
Dian
i don’t know how your store works. but this is how my cashiers usually run my b1g1 coupons. It usually works in my favor. But they ask for my card, and it’ll ring up at the sale price. ($4), but my cashier usually gives me max price, or the retail price before the sale value off from the coupon. So if the coupon says up to 4.99, thats what she types in. because when she sees the screen, that what it says, it doesn’t say the sale price. But i do actually get the sale price.
the tasters choice BOGO coupon says stick pack. Is this being accepted for the special?
@ryanck0: The picture in the ad looks like the stick packs to me. So, I would say yes based on the picture in the ad. I have not gone in and gotten t myself, but if they go by what is in the picture, then like i said I would say yes.
Let us know!
Thanks!
Dian
Ok, on this weeks (8/1) CVS deal on Crest Pro Health that Maven Of Savin’ posted…
the coupons state one coupon per purchase. How can I take advantage of the deal if I can only use 1??? Kinda new and need help. Thanks, Jennifer
@Jennifer: I can’t find what you’re talking about – but, I suspect, if it is an RR deal, she means you can only get 1 RR per person.
Is that it? I’m sorry I didn’t see what you were talking about, I looked…
Let me know!
Dian
Sorry, my fault. It was actually your post on the CVS deals for this week and at the bottom you posted this “deal scenario”.
Buy (3) Crest Pro Health for $3.99 ea.
Use (3) $2/1 coupons
Pay $5.97, get $5 ECBs ($0.32 ea.) Thanks Maven Of Savin’!
Just wondering how I can take advantage if they only allow 1 Q per purchase like the coupon from this weeks P&G states.
@Jennifer: I hope I am understanding you correctly! lol All coupons say 1 per purchase. I have this discussion with cashiers all the time. a purchase is an item, a transaction is the entire sale. So, if you are asking about the coupon saying 1 per purchase that means 1 coupon per item. And it means you cannot use 1 coupon to buy 3 Mouthwashes. You need to buy 3 mouthwashes and use 3 coupons.
IS that what you were asking?
Thanks!
Dian
YES YES YES!!! You ROCK and I just learned something new!!! That is VERY helpful and something I wish I’d known earlier! Think I mighta missed out on a few deals over my first month and a half! DARN! This just gets more fun by the day!
It’s amazing what makes you happy as you get older! HA~ 4 of my 5 kids (only because #5 isn’t old enough to understand my madness) laugh and roll their eyes at me daily because of my coupon madness…however they have all sworn that when it somes time to leave home, they are coming to get mom to go shopping! Thank you SO much for keeping me informed. Jennifer
.
@Jennifer: YAY!! You are very welcome! I LOVE to help! I do get cashiers that will argue this – in fact it happens so often I laughed out loud, I really was trying to not laugh but couldn’t help it, when a cashier said that the other day!
They will argue that sometimes, but, it’s not true.
They will say a transaction and a purchase are the same thing.. nope. I had a floor manager at Wal-Mart tell me that – I called customer service they had the Store Manager call me – he agreed with me and finally said – they only make minimum wage! lol I said I only want them to be trained correctly!
A cashier – SUPERVISOR – told me that at Kroger the other day – that’s the one I couldn’t help but laugh at – the manager and customer service agreed she was wrong.
Just stand your ground nicely when ypu know you are right and you can ALWAYS call customer service or me! lol I have called on behalf of readers before!
Thanks and happy shopping!!
Dian
Well on that note…Im off to CVS and Homeland (have a few coupons I need to use there before they expire today). Thanks so much and I’ll let ya know!
Have a blessed Saturday!
@Jennifer: Thanks! You Too! If you want to take a pic and write up your trip just send it in and I’ll post it!
Thanks!
Dian
I dont get this deal:
Dulcolax Balance – Sale $9.99 use $5/1 All You Mag May Issue or use $4/1 5/16 S or print $3 – Final FREE Plus MM* After Q and $9.99 RR *MM will vary according to which coupon you use.
What does MM mean (didnt see it in the coupon lingo)?
RR means register rewards so that means it will print out on your receipt like your ECB do?
What is All You Mag? Is that a CVS magazine? I went to my CVS looking for the CVS Reinventing Beauty magazine and they had never heard of it and it was not on display anywhere in the store…bummer!
Sarah – MM means Money Maker – sorry I will add it to the Coupon Lingo.
All You Magazine is a great magazines that has $100′s in coupons each month. The only place I have ever seen it is WalMart, but, I have a subscription to it. You can look at it online as well.
And yes the RR prints when you check out.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks!
Dian
Still checking out the very useful information on your website! I saw that you had a subscription to All You Magazine, saw you say it had many coupons, scratching my head (doing a lot of that on your website) ah HA! I just started my subscription!
Thanks for all the tips and tricks!
Could you use the two Advil coupons ($1/1 40 ct & $1/1 PM 16ct) from 9/26 along with the $5 Extra Bucks to make it a final of $8.98?
@MichaelWb: You can’t use 2 manufacturer coupons on 1 item – you can stack a manufacturer’s coupon with a store coupon. So, this answer to this particular scenario is no, you would have to s\choose which manufacturer coupon you want to use with the ECB’s. You can use the ecb’s and the manufacturer coupon together.
Hope that helps!
Thanks!
Dian
Dian,
I just found your site this morning and am enjoying it..and its nice to have this info as I just moved to DFW area. I have used Kroger almost always but am now looking to branch around for better deals when I find something of value.
I’m not sure I explained the above correct. What the deal would be
Buy 1 Advil 40 ct for $7.99 – use $1/1 MC
Buy 1 Advil PM 16ct for $7.99 – use $1/1MC
Buying the 2 Advil products would qualify you for $5 Extra Bucks.
Correct? It’s not 2 MC’s on one product..but two.
And are extra bucks done immediately or printed to your receipt as credit for your next trip kinda deal?
Thanks
Welcome! Glad you found us and I hope you enjoy DFW – where did you move from?
The 16 ct Advil aren’t included in the deal – but, you can buy 2 Advil (included in the sale) and use 2 manufacturer coupons and get the ECB.
ECB’s are given on the bottom of your receipt for “next time” use – you can use them in your next transaction at the same store visit!
Did that answer your question?
Ask me anything, anytime!
Dian
Thanks Dian
After seeing your answer and re-reading the fine print of what was included in the ECB..I dont think either MC applies (or at least the two I mentioned)
They are for 40 ct and PM 16ct. So no deal there then.
I moved from Starkville,MS so needless to say cultural shock and vast changes from having a kroger, walmart, and piggly wiggly to all the choices within 15 miles of me (Kroger, Whole Foods, Central Market, Albertsons, Tom Thumb, Aldi, Walgreens,CVS, Walmart, Target, and possibly before the end of the year HEB)
Was looking for the Gain coupon in the 10/31 P&G but it was not there. Are they the same all over the country? I live in AZ.
@Peggy: They are not the same all over. But that one was pretty much everywhere.
You can buy them on ebay or from a coupon clipping service.
Sorry you didn’t get it!
Dian
I too am a college student who has discovered couponing! Its so much fun and has helped out sooo much!
@Deborah: That’s great! I get alot of emails from college students! It’s a great way to make ends meet! Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks!
Dian
Hi, I went to cvs and couldn’t find any dove wash for 1.99.
Thanku for the class, I learned a lot!
@Natasha: Great! I am so glad I could teach y’all some of this!
As far as the Dove goes – you can get a Rain Check – because it is on sale according to their flyer. They probably sold out already.
But, on the very back page of their sales ad for this week, you will see it on the left side of the page.
Just go back and if they still don’t have it in, just get a rain check and when they get it in you can get it for that price!
Thanks again for the kind words! I enjoyed teaching y’all and am glad I could help!
Dian
Natasha if your cvs never got the dove in stock Walmart has the same product and will price match…even though their price is only a penny more. Walmart is suppose to be taking competitors coupons now also….usually depends on your cashier…so always be critical when choosing a cashier because it can make or break your coupon deals !
Dian,
have you had any luck with expired ECB’s ?
Sadly I have $30 I let expire.
@MichaelWb: So sorry it took so long to answer, I have been sick.
All of my stores take expired ecb’s. I would call around if I were you!
Thanks,
Dian
Hope you are feeling well…
I was able to use the $30 and roll what I though was lost into nearly $16 of new ECB’s. I’ll make sure I don’t let these expire this time.
@MichaelWb: Thank you! Congratulations on your ECB’s! I am glad you were able to use them!
Dian
I don’t understand why you would want more than one green leaf tag. The tag has to match the CVS card #, right? So it’s not like you can combine the ECBs on a shopping order. What am I missing?
From the store’s point of view? Maybe if I give one to my hubby or kids for when they stop by the store for me.
From my point of view? For the extra Extra Care Bucks cards I have.
Dian
Here in central TX, the CVS has changed it’s sales flyers to be good form Sunday to Friday – No sales on Saturday.
My CVS local ad says the Schick Hyrdo Razor is on sale for $8, and they give you $4 ECB AND there is a coupon in the local paper for $4 off…making it free. BUT that coupon was not in my paper. So I picked up another one from the store…but it wasn’t in that one either. How can I get that coupon??
Jenn,
Most coupons are regional, sorry.
But, you can buy them from a coupon clipping service like Coupon DeDe:
“http://www.couponsthingsbydede.com/?Click=13732
Or you can find them on eBay, too.
Thanks!
Dian
CVS? This week Crunchy nut Cereal is $2.49 each. If I buy 2, can I use 2 of the $1.50/2 coupons for this weekends coupons? or can I use 1 for the 7/10 paper and one from the internet for $1/1. Thanks so much for clearing it up!
Just wanted to let u know about other item thats on clearance. Its the Garnier Fructis Instant Color Sealer Lightweight Leave in Color Shield (its a red bottle in the styling products) its $1.57 and u can use ur $1/1 garnier F. styling product Q making them only .57 c
Marie » Thanks for the heads up! That’s a great deal!
Dian
@MichaelWb: Oh yes, I know! I grew i\up in Fl, but moved her from Vicksburg, MS, So, I get it! lol Well, again welcome and if you ever need anything let me know!!
Thanks!
Dian
