Back for More

Sheila posted about the Nivea deal and I couldn't resist another shopping trip for the day.  These great moneymaker deals sometimes get killed by corporate pretty quickly, so get your Nivea while you can.

CVS

  • 4 Nivea Tins (metal or soft, 1 oz) $1.19 each, got back $8 EB ($2 each, Limit 4, monthly deal) = $3.24 profit
  • 2 Physician's Formula Skincare Items (blue) clearanced to $5.37 each, used $15 PF Skincare CRT (got today) = $4.26 profit
  • 4 Physician's Formula Matchmaker Lip Gloss $9.99, $7 discount sale (on all PF makeup) and used $3 peelie coupon = FREE/$0.04 profit 
  • Physician's Formula Happy Booster Lip Gloss $10.49, $7 discount sale (on all PF makeup) and used $3 peelie coupon = $0.49
  • 2 Caramels $0.33 each
  • Used $4 EB, total was $0.18, overall profit for transaction - $3.82
The PF makeup counted towards the gas promo this week - spend $30 in qualifying items, get a $10 gas gift card (EB in NJ).  I didn't realize the PF skincare stuff was on clearance, so that didn't count towards the gas promo.  Their skincare line is on sale for $7.99 each this week and counts towards the promo, if you get the non-clearanced stuff.  So on this card, I've got $15.45 towards the gas card and I didn't spend a penny!

On another card -

  • 4 Nivea Tins (metal or soft, 1 oz) $0.99 each, got back $8 EB ($2 each, Limit 4, monthly deal) = $4.04 profit
  • 2 Physician's Formula Skincare Items (purple) $7.99 each, used $15 PF Skincare CRT (got today) = $0.98
  • Caramel $0.33
  • Used $0.50 EB and $4 EB, total was $2.38, overall profit for transaction - $1.12
This store had lots of PF makeup, but no peelie coupons so I didn't get any makeup here.  If you can find enough peelies, you could buy just the makeup and get the gas card!  You'd need about 10 items for around $10 each, minus the $7 sale and the $3 coupon.  That's my goal for the week - find as many peelies as possible and max out this deal if I can.  Who doesn't love free makeup and gas!

I bought 2 of each and didn't get the EBs last night around 9PM. Looks like they killed the deal. :(
