CVS - kudos to pubbler for this great Stayfree deal! Grr, just realized I had a $2 CVS coupon for Stayfree I could have used today. Sigh.

  • 6 packages Stayfree pads (24 - 48 count) $4.50 each, used three BOGO coupons (1/4 RP) and got back $10 ECB (when you spend $20, Limit 1) = $0.50 for 6 (when you also include $3 off $15 coupon)
  • CVS snack bags $2.99, used $3 CVS brand purchase coupon = FREE *didn't beep - so you can get overage with this coupon!

There are many things in CVS that you may not realize are actually CVS brands. These include Essence of Beauty, Lumene, Skin Effects and I think possibly 24.7 as well. Anyone else know of any others? Here's a great list from Beth (thanks again!)

Cool, thanks Beth!

Just call me Yankee said...

What newspaper do you get? The q's in my paper stink and the next closest paper usually has the same q's just in a different order. I see by your deals that you get better q's than me and I would like to call your paper and see if they will deliver to me by mail. With the q's of course!

Central,
What a great idea! I wonder if they'll do this for you. Depending on whether I'm in my neck of the woods or my boyfriend's, I buy either the Star Ledger: http://www.nj.com/starledger/ or The Bergen Record: http://www.northjersey.com/. Good luck!
