Nice CVS score tonight

June 17th, 2011 at 02:43 am

CVS has not been the best place to get the super deals the past year or so, but every once in a while they come through. Today I spotted a $5 off coupon in the paper, and I was able to pick another one up off the recycling heap before leaving work, so I was ready to research the deals when I got home.

After some research, cutting out coupons, and making a quick trip, here was the haul using some strategic buying:

* 4 boxes Raisin Bran
* 3 Boxes Fiber One
* 6 2-Liter bottles of Diet Pepsi
* Hydro 5 Razor (Yard sale item)
* Motrin 20 Ct. (Maybe yard sale)
* Zyrtec 5 Ct. (Maybe yard sale)
* Bayer Advanced 20 Ct. (Maybe yard sale)
* Digiorno Pizza
* $10 Gas Gift card

All total it cost me $3 in cash back coupons and $12.15 cash. If you net out the gas gift card of $10, everything else cost me about $5. And the items I have marked as Yard Sale will probably sell for $7 total. Soooo... happy, happy days.

    I am kind of confused as to why you would buy anything you plan to sell at a yard sale. People typically go to yard sales to find bargains, stuff that is cheaper to buy used than new, so you may, or may not, make any money off such a venture. Why not buy stuff you can actually use? With the money you would have spent on yard sale stuff, you could pay more on your mortgage or put more into investments. It just seems weird to me.

    If the cereal is Kelloggs, then with 10 upc codes you can get a $10 gas card. Free breakfast.

    Lisa,

    How do I apply for this gas card? Was it in a coupon insert?

    crazy,

    Actually I *had* to buy those extra items to get everything cheap. If you buy things where they are giving cash back so the item is free, and you have a coupon, buying the item helps lower your bill. The Razor was a wash, the others made me money. Plus the newspaper coupons were for $5 off $20 purchase, so I needed them to use two of the $5/$20 coupons. Trust me, buying them lowered the overall cost.

    Lisa,

    Never mind, I found the rebate. The Raisin Bran was Kelloggs, and I have one Rice Krispies here already, sooooo, I'm halfway there!

    Sometimes the extra items purchased are exactly the things that lead to the overall savings... and if you have some insurance of being able to sell them at a bit of a profit later, then all the better! I think you did great.
