Turned out to be a better week than I thought!

I ran into CVS hoping to use my Solie raincheck & get a Complete, gone & gone. I was about to leave but thought I'd still scan my card on the way out because I always do. Out printed FIVE coupons!

$4/$20
$2 off any Luminere product
$2 off Cristophe product (I have no freakin clue if I'm spelling these right!)
$10 off any 24.7 Anti Aging Skin care
$5 off $20 Skin Effects

I was really excited about the Cristophe because I had been flirting with buying a special shampoo that was on clearance for curly hair but hated to lose any ECB's when we get so much shampoo for free. As I'm walking towards the clearance items I see lots of bare spots, OH NO! It's all gone! Lo and behold, there was only one single item left out of all the Cristophe clearance, my shampoo! $2!!!!

Then I remembered there were new energy shots free after ECB's. I love to use these before my workouts. I ran back there to get some and I saw that the Promax bars were 3/$5 so free after ECB's.

Then I noticed the Luminere stuff was 50%. Then I saw there was anti-aging stuff for 25+ (at 31, it's time to start using preventative stuff but hard to find it geared towards my age group). There was an anti-aging 3 pc kit that was 50% off of $6.99. I couldn't resist!

At this point I have to hit $20 and I have a Similac $5 check so I buy one of the bottles of Similac that are 2/10.99 right now.

$3.49 Luminere Anti Aging Set
$4.99 Energy Shots
$2.00 Cristophe Shampoo
$5.00 3 Promax Bars
$5.50 Similac
Subtotal: $20.98

-$4/$20 CVS cpn
-$2.00 Luminere CVS cpn
-$2.00 Cristophe CVS cpn
-$1.00 Promax Bar cpn
-$5.00 Similac Check
After cpns: $6.98 before tax
I didn't even look at the total after & I didn't think and I handed the girl an ECB for $6.99. She tried to put it in and it beeped and I slapped my forehead and reached for it back, she said, "I can key it in for less if you don't mind." I would generally argue but I said okay and somehow it took it! That's never happened to me before. So for the first time EVER
$0.00 OOP!

Got back:
$5.00 ECB Promax bars
$4.99 energy shots
For a profit of $3.00!!!

Then the cashier asks me if I want a 30% friends & family coupon for this weekend. Uh, heck yeah!

And I thought this was going to be a crappy CVS week!

Question

Do you just scan your CVS card even if you do not make any purchases? I noticed others commenting on this in other posts, but never knew you could or should do this!

cao228, you scan your card at the price checker in select stores, not at check out. I wasn't sure if you understood that from your question.

That $10 off 24/7 is a great coupon! there is a $2 off in the new RIB booklets and that would make $12 off. One of my stores had little trial sizes for $5.99 so you would potentially get overage on that if you have a great cashier or there may be an ECB deal. I haven't really looked to hard at the ad or Dec book though!

Great job though!

Thanks guys! It's nice to have people that actually understand my excitement. I laid all of my stuff out last night and excitedly told him the above story and he just looked at me and said, "okay, I'm sorry, I don't understand any of what you just said...but I'm glad your happy!"

I need to check them out closer I suppose. I was just bummed that they didn't have the ECB thing still going. That would have been awesome!
