Thanksgiving Weekend Drug Store Haul

I visited Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid on Thanksgiving morning. There were so many free deals at each store and most of them worked out perfectly.

Wags

Cash out of pocket: $5.21

RRs used: $26

RRs received: $23

Total Lost: $8.21 (come on, I bought a bunch of TP!)

CVS

Cash out of pocket: $21.10 (I didn’t have a lot of ECBs stored up)

ECBs used: $13.50

ECBs received: $40.58

Total Profit: $5.98

Rite Aid

Cash out of pocket: $5.68

Single Check Rebates to be received: $8

Total Profit: $2.32

Throughout the three stores I had a total profit of $.08! And I got things I needed like TP and milk (not pictured) I say that’s a Happy Thanksgiving!

I went back for more on Saturday morning considering the wad of ECBs and RRs I had and the deals that were still going on. Below is a combination of weekly deals and Thanksgiving deals (jumbo pack of wipes not pictured). My receipts got lost in the shuffle, so I can’t remember how much I specifically spent in RRs & ECBs vs cash, but the totals should be correct.

Wags

Cash + RRs spent: $32.89

RRs received: $33.50

Total Profit: $.61

CVS

Cash + ECBs spent: $22.04

ECBs received: $5

Total Cost: $17.04

So, throughout these two stores I lost $16.43, but I bought some things I needed like diapers and wipes (not pictured), milk, and paper plates. I am very happy with my purchases!

Can you believe all the stores that are open on Thanksgiving Day? There were ads in the paper today for Kmart and Meijer, and I think Kohl’s is open too. Not to mention CVS & Walgreens. I have to admit that I went to the 24 hr CVS last year at about 12:30am, but I did it ONLY because I was already awake and down the street…it was on my way home. I ended up getting one of each of the free items and I think I waited in line for about 30 minutes behind about 6 other coupon people. It was not worth it, if the deal (and wait) are easy, I’m up for it, but not when I have to fight to get a product...This year, I’ll wait until regular store hours…

Here are the deals for Walgreens Thur-Sat:
**Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth deodorant $3.99 with $4RR, print $2 coupon here , there was also a $1 coupon in the paper = $2 overage

CVS Black Friday...well Thursday

Last year on Thanksgiving morning I woke up before the sun and ran outside to get my Thanksgiving Day paper. I tore through it to get to the CVS ad and began sorting my coupons. I would've made A LOT of money last year (through ECBs) but I took Jeremy with me and he got a few (expensive) things like an MP3 player and some Christmas gifts and we ended up breaking even i.e. it was all free instead of making a profit. Personally, I want the ad in my hands so I can look at every page. However, if you want to start gathering your coupons, here it is! Pages 8-10 are particularly exciting because they are absolutely free after ECB, which means any coupons you use are purely profit. IHeartCVS has all the deals with the matching coupons from the paper and internet printables listed...I am not going to reinvent the wheel here...

I am a freak though and I actually bought MORE CVS coupons off EBay. Yikes, hopefully they'll get here in time!

Also, if you have not kept up with your coupons and would like someone to mail you exactly what you want, here are some great websites: The Coupon Clippers, Coupons & Things by Dede or The Coupon Master. I have to admit I haven't bought coupons from these websites because I usually get what I need from the newspaper every week, but from what I've heard the coupons are about 10% of the coupon value ($.10 for a $1 coupon) and they ship super fast...so you could get what you want by BF! You may also buy manufacturer coupons on EBAY, I DID do that once for a deal at Walgreens (the coupons were REALLY popular so the three sites I listed above were already out).
