CVS 8/24-8/30

The best "money making" scenarios for this week would be split into 3 separate transactions, but since that is crazy for most people to visit CVS 3 times this week. I will try to squish it into 2 trips - which won't be quite as profitable, but you'll still end up on top.

Trip #1
Kotex $1.49
2 Carefree (if you have the newspaper coupon, if not, get 2 OB) $9
Pepsi $3
Sobe $1

Total : $14.49

Coupons - in this order:
$2 off $10 iheartcvscoupon
$1 off Kotex
$4.50 Carefree - buy one get one free - from paper (OR use below)
2 - $1.50 off OB
$1 off - free Sobe with Pepsi purchase
any ECBs you may have

Out of pocket: $5.99 OR $7.49 if you got OB
ECBs recieved: $6.49 ($5 Carefree/OB, $1.49 Kotex)
Profit: .51 or you lost $.99 (come on, go buy the Sunday paper!), and you're on your way to the Pepsi and Sobe/Gatorage/Propel deals

_________________________________________
Trip #2
3 Pepsi $9
3 Sobe $3
1 Gatorade/Propel $1
Malt-O-Meal $1

Total: $16

Coupons - in this order
$2 off $10 iheartcvscoupon
$1 off malt-o-meal
$1 off - free Sobe with Pepsi purchase (I'm not sure how many of these you can print or use - you could use at least one on this order - if you can not print any more Sobe coupons you can mix and match Propel & Gatorade, you'll need a total of 5 to get the ECB)
$5 Carefree ECB
$1.49 Kotex ECB
any other ECBs you may have

Out of Pocket: $3.50
ECBs recieved: $6 ($3 Pepsi, $2 Sobe/Gatorage/Propeldeals)
Profit: $1.50 (or more depending on your Sobe coupon usage)

If you split this up into 4 $10 deals you could use the $2 off of $10 2 more times and maximize your profit. This would also make your out of pocket MUCH lower.

If you decide that you love CVS and want to go 4 times, then split up the two trips I gave you which originally would equal $28.49 and add in the ZipFizz for $5.99 or a gallon of milk or something you need. Like always, there are other GREAT deals at CVS this week, these are just the ones that will help you grow your ECBs so that you can get those things you really want/need without really paying for it!
