$.24 Colgate at CVS

The CVS coupon machine is printing a $2 off Colgate coupon this week.  Colgate is also on sale for $2.99.  I used the store coupon, plus a $.75 newspaper coupon to get each tube for only $.24!!

I also have been noticing that my receipt at CVS has been printing with a dollars off coupon.  I always find these hard to use, because they usually expire in a few days and I have just finished my shopping when I get them!  This week I decided to buy just this one cheap item first, spend the $.50 (price with tax), and see what printed.  I got a $10 off $50 coupon.  I was planning to buy paper towels, toilet tissue and Puffs tissue with the spend $30 get $10 rewards deal.  I added on a few other things I needed to buy, like Nestle Water (on sale for $2.97 each, plus a $1/2 coupon), and got my total to $50.05 before tax (around $56 after tax).  I used the CVS coupon first (while the total was still over $50!), and a bunch of newspaper coupons, a bunch of previous rewards, plus a $10 rebate card from a purchase of Olay products a while back.  I ended up spending less than $8 for the $56 bill!

  1. I love those $10 off $50, I think I'm going to do baby formula and diapers! I have a $10 off Q for Pampers and $10 off 2 Enfamil :) So I'm super pumped. You may want to ask your store if they take expired coupons, my CVS does so I don't worry too much if a Q expires. I got another 20% off Extraordinary savings Q that pairs up with a email discount :) So savings are like 45% if the email q is 25% off...I can't wait for Thursday!I have an extra "Extraordinary" savings card that I'll give you so You can get the discounts too!
