I’m feeling energized again about going to CVS. For about 4 or 5 years, I went every single week, sometimes more than once a week. I juggled two CVS cards, got all my freebies. Then for the past 6-12 months, I guess I had CVS burnout. I rarely went, and quite frankly, when you go every week for 4 years, you build up quite a stockpile so I didn’t really need to go.

Thursday energized me again. First, it was fun getting all the stuff I got, for just $9 out of pocket. Second, one of my couponing friends was like “Really, you don’t come here anymore? I still come every week.” So now I’m motivated to go again. Plus, this week my son starts his home/community TSS hours, so this will be a nice weekly outing for us to do. It’s close to home and still gives him practice in public places.

So……here’s what I am eyeing up from this week’s ad, and what I want to get. I only have $14 ECBs to work with so not sure what all I’ll get.

First, if you need contact lens solution, check out the Complete for $8.99 with $8.99 back. If you find some with $1 or $2 peelies–good for you! I hope I do, but since I don’t wear contacts, won’t be getting it unless I find the peelies.

Pg 6 of ad-Xtra Laundry detergent for $1.49. $1 off 2 coupons in 11/13 paper, makes is $0.99 a bottle! For that price, even though I don’t care for it, I’ll use it to wash dog beds and car towels.

Burt’s Bees stuff–on sale, says “starting at $2.99.” Get a $2 printable on Facebook. I think it’s wishful thinking that we’ll find an eligible item for $2.99, but can’t hurt to look.

When you scan your card under the magic card scanner, you’re going to get a $3 off $10 Hand or Body Lotion coupon. Combine that with the $1 off 1s for Carmex, from 10/30 inserts. It’s on sale for $4.99.

Front page–the $10/$30 gift card offer still going strong. And I’ve been buying a ton of stuff at Barnes & Noble since it’s 50% off, so I could use a $10 gift card. I may do the Tide at $5.94, with the $2 coupons from 10/30. Plus I still have some FREE Pantene coupons from home mailers, from those Facebook offers they ran.

Lastly, the $5/$15 Duracell offer. I got $3 off 2 Duracell coupons in my Thursday (Thanksgiving) paper, so check yours. Always need batteries this time of year!

Happy Shopping!
