More Diapers??

Well, it's another good week at CVS for diapers. This time, it's Huggies!

Here's what you need to do:

1. Go to CVS and scan your card at the price checker in the store - hopefully it will print out some coupons for you. When I went, I happened to get a coupon for $2 off a $10 baby purchase - I've heard of lots of people getting this one!

2. Get 2 packs of Huggies diapers (on sale 2/$17.98)

3. Go to check out and hand over your coupons:
-$2 off $10 purchase (if this CVS coupon prints for you)
-$3 off any huggies diaper printable coupon (from coupons.com) - USE 2 of these!

4. You will pay $9.98 if you get the $2 off coupon for CVS (I'm counting on people getting it as long as you have a scanner thing in your store that works because I have only started shopping there in the past few weeks so I don't think it has anything to do with their long time customers)

5. You will get back $5 Extra Care Bucks to use towards something else (maybe more diapers if you need them) - or save for a future deal because they will expire about 1 month from when it prints out. So, in a way, you have only paid $4.98 for 2 packs which equals out to $2.49/pack which is about $0.08 per diaper!!! This is an awesome price for diapers and I've actually noticed Huggies holding up much better than Pampers in the "monster poo" contest!



*By the way, if you joined RecycleBank like I talked about here hopefully you've found a way to earn enough points for your $5 off any Huggies diaper coupon?? If so you can use that coupon on this deal to get the diapers for $0.05 each!!!

CVS = good deals on diapers!

Ok, so it looks like CVS is the place to be the next 2 weeks for their awesome diaper deals! This week, here is what you want to do to get good deals on Pampers!

You will need to do 3 transactions - I did 2 yesterday and plan on going back for the 3rd sometime this week (and maybe even a 4th while I'm there - I'll explain...)

Transaction #1: buy jumbo pack of pampers - $8.97 - $2 pampers coupon (from paper) = $6.97 (and you will get back $3 ECBs = Extra Care Bucks)

Transaction #2: jumbo pack of pampers - $8.97 - $2 pampers coupon - $3 ECBS (that you got from transaction 1 - they print on the bottom of your receipt!) = $3.97 (and you will get another $3 ECB)

Transaction #3: same as transaction 2 - you may or may not get another $3 ECB - the limit in the paper says 2, but some people are reporting that they are able to do it a 3rd time and it works - you'll just have to see, but either way, you will pay $3.97 for this transaction

ok so totals from all 3 transactions = $14.91 or $4.97 per pack of pampers, which comes out to $0.16 per diaper. That is a great price for Pampers!

If you want, you can go ahead and get some toothpaste with a 4th transaction to get yourself ready for next week:

Colgate total toothpaste = $3.99 - $1 colgate coupon (from paper) = $2.99 (IF you got $3 ECB from transaction 3 - use them and you will pay nothing! If not, you are still basically getting the toothpaste for free after you get a $3.99 ECB for this transaction!)


ok, now you are set for next week:

Next week CVS will have Huggies on sale 2/$17.98 (this is $8.99 which seems to be a normal price for grocery stores) BUT you will get $5 ECB when you buy 2!

So here's what you'll do:

buy 2 jumbo packs huggies = $17.98 - 3.99 ECB (from toothpaste) - $6 (use 2 of the $3 printables - can find them on facebook, coupons.com or the huggies website!) = $7.99 or $4 per pack = $0.13 per diaper AND you will have a $5 ECB to use towards your next purchase!!!


*If you are really in need of diapers, you could do another transaction with the huggies, but you won't get another $5 ECBS - but here's the math in case you are curious:

2 jumbo packs = $17.98 - $5 ECB (from previous transaction) - $6 (2 $3 printables) = $6.98 or $3.49 per pack = $0.11 per diaper!



By the way, I was definitely planning on heading to Walgreens this week to take advantage of their register reward deal on Huggies (buy 3 @ $8.99 - get $3 Register Rewards) - but after seeing the deals at CVS, I'm definitely going to just buy my diapers from them instead!

CVS Advisory Panel

Do you shop at CVS? Well, even if you don't and you live somewhere close to one - you have GOT to sign up to become a member of the CVS Advisory Panel. (Click here to sign up). They will e-mail you surveys from time to time (I signed up maybe a month ago and just got my first survey today) - and then they will give you Extra Care Bucks (like cash you can use at CVS!) for completing surveys. I just did one that maybe took a grand total of 5 minutes of time and got a coupon for $5 Extra Care Bucks! Wahoo!!! Now to decide what to get???

Awesome Huggies Wipes Deal!

I read about this last night and decided to go check it out for myself today and it's true! Right now, CVS has Huggies Wipes tubs advertised on sale for 2/$5. Well, the refill packs (216ct) are ringing up for the same price! Even if you have absolutely no coupons at all, $2.50 for a refill pack is a great price. Some people have reported that when they scan their card at the CVS coupon printer (at the front of the store), their card is generating a $2 off Huggies wipes coupon. If so, then you could get these for $0.50! I wasn't so lucky, but did have a $1.50 off 1 coupon from recyclebank and a $1 off coupon from a recent Randalls coupon booklet. So I ended up paying only $2.71 for 2 refill packs of Huggies wipes! I'm assuming (and could be wrong), but I'm guessing that the CVS coupons that print when you scan your card are based on your buying trends. Well, this is one of the first times that I have really shopped at CVS in a long time, so I'm guessing that's why I didn't get the coupon. I am planning on going back later this week though to see if I can get that coupon because I'd love to stock up on some cheap wipes!

Again, even if you don't have little ones around - grab some for cheap and you can throw them into a baby shower gift! I'm telling you - you can make a very nice gift basket with much needed items for a baby shower for VERY cheap!!!

Side note: I have to say that after going to CVS and playing with the coupon printer/price scanner, I'm starting to drift towards it rather than Walgreens. I still love the deals I find at Walgreens, but I LOVE stores that have a price scanner so I can check the prices of things myself before throwing it in my basket! Also the way they store your ECBs (Extra Care Bucks) on your card instead of having to remember to bring the paper coupons is definitely appealing!
