I spent 5.37 BUT a BIG money maker with the 20.00 Aveeno rebate and the clearance aveeno ageless

A couple great moneymakers right now…
The U by Kotex deal is even better if you stack the $1/1 coupon with a $1.50/1 CVS coupon from the Reinventing Beauty magazine. The other great deal (that’s a monthly deal here in AZ) is Biotrue 2 oz. for $2.99 with $2.99 ECBs. There’s a $2 off coupon on their website, so you pay $.99 and get $2.99 back!
I spent about $12 total overall, but walked away with $10 in ECBs for my next trip. There isn’t a lot going on for me at CVS this week unfortunately. 🙁 I like to always try and “trade up” my ECBs for more expensive items I don’t have coupons for and that don’t produce ECBs themselves in the end. Enjoy!

Seems like it is getting harder to CVS lately, but then there will be a great week thrown in there to make it all worth the wait.
