I was unable to take full advantage of the CVS deals this week because of my holiday traveling. By the time I got home, and made it to CVS, some of the specials were gone. I also realized that the CVS $5.00 off coupon that I had planned to use had expired - see, it even happens to me...
I was still able to get much of what was being offered though, and I had several coupons to work with. Here's what was in my shopping bags today:
(1) Hershey’s
Reg. $1.59,
(1) Aussie Shampoo – Net Cost (-) .50¢
Reg. $4.69,
(1) Aussie Conditioner – Net Cost (-) .50¢
Reg. $4.69,

(1) 5-Hour Energy Maximum Strength 2 pk – Net Cost $0
Reg. $5.99,
(1) Complete contact solution – Net Cost (-)$1.00
Reg. 9.99,
(3) Gatoraid G2’s – Net Cost $0
Price $1.49/ea., Extra Bucks $1.49/ea.
(1) CoverGirl Smoothers foundation – Net Cost $0
Price $7.99, Extra Bucks $7.99
(1) CoverGirl Smoothers compact powder – Net Cost $0
Price $5.99, Extra Bucks $5.99
Total Net Cost: (-)$4.00
My actual out-of-pocket cost was $40.11 after I used my Extra Bucks – considerably more than I normally pay on my CVS shopping trips – but I got $94.31 back in Extra Bucks, which will keep me from having to spend anything at the register for a couple of weeks.
Please keep in mind that if you are at CVS picking up their specials, and your out-of-pocket costs are going to be more than your budget allows, you can break up your purchases into two or more different transactions and apply the Extra Bucks from the precious transaction. If you’re just getting started using Extra Bucks, you can use this technique until you get to the point that you have enough Extra Bucks to make all of your purchases in one transaction.
