So far I'm not finding lots of good weekly deals. I'll list the ones I've found and if any of you find more, post them and I'll add them to the master list here. There are of course the really good monthly deals still going on if you can find them.

Weekly deals:
#1. $10 ECB when you buy 2 of any of the following stomach remedies...Gas X, ExLax, Benefiber, Maalox, & Perdiem. Some of these items start at $4.49 and there are also coupons in todays paper and some previous fliers. So if you get some of the cheaper items and use coupons they're FREE or you can even make money!!

#2. Pepsi producst 12 packs, buy 4 get $3 ECB, so it's 4-12packs for $9. PLUS some people are finding coupons near the display where you can get a 2-liter tea product with 2-12 packs. So in other words, 4-12 packs and 2-2L for $9.

#3. Garnier products buy $15 (before coupons) and get $5 ECB. There are some bonus items such as moisturizer that comes with free towelette packs, and there are lots of coupons available. So you should be able to get quite a few products (face, hair, etc) for no more than $10 or less.

Remember to check the clearance areas of your store!! They're currently marking lots of things down 75% or 90% off, but each store has different stock. Some of the things that have been included are sterlite storage baskets or drawers or multi drawer units, an oral B toothbrush which is marked down to $1.39 but still give $4 ECB, baskets, Sobe 20 fl oz in the flavors Encite and Green Tea/

CONTINUING MONTHLY DEALS FOR APRIL:
These deals are good for the whole month of April. However they tend to run out early in the month, so I advise you to get them as soon as you can. If they're out, ask your store what day they restock the shelves.

#1. Oh my God!!! You have to get in on this deal. Buy any 3 Essence of beauty products and get back $5 ECB. Now they have many products to choose from like lotions, bath gel, makeup applicators, hair brushes/combs, etc. It's obviously a better deal if you get the cheaper items and there are many for $1.99. So if you buy 3 of the cheaper products, you're only paying $1 for the 3 items after ECB

BUT WAIT!! IT GETS BETTER!!! They have the most darling Essence of Beauty gift bags on their 3-sided display that are only $1.49!!! They're the perfect size for books, bath products, etc and come with the tissue paper included. So you can buy 3 of the gift bags for $4.47 and get $5 back in ECB. THEY PAY YOU $.53 TO TAKE THREE GIFT BAGS!!!! There's a limit of 5 offers. I went to my 2 CVS stores that are across the street from each other today. One was already out, and I got the last 6 at the 2nd store. One of my favorite CVS employees told me she'd put some back for me when the shipment came in so I can get my other 3 sets of 3. These will probably be hard to find.

#2. CVS Pain Relief Rapid Release Gelcaps...24 ct box. $3.99 and get back $3.99 in ECB so FREE!!!! after ECB. Limit 5 (I've already bought these for the month...so run)

#3. Softsoap Spa body wash...$4.99 with $4.99 in ECB...so FREE after ECB!! There's only a limit of one for the month I think, but THIS wk you can get 5!!! So I've already bought my 5. There were quite a few of these in the store today. $1 off coupon in post #7 below!!! So you'll MAKE $1 buying these. Thanks rskmom!!!

#4. There are also lots of beauty deals going on. Nivea, cover girl, jergen/biore, neutrogena, garnier fructis, etc. Most of them are buy $X and get $Y in ECBs. So if you have manufacturer coupons it's a good time to buy things you might need or want.

I know one of the deals people are excited about is the Johnson's softcream, lotion, or wash. You get $2 ECB and you can maybe find coupons. These products are really nice.

Also the Nivea Natural Glow (tanner) or Jergens self-tanner are also giving pretty good ECBs so you may be interest in that.



So tomorrow, RUN and buy your gift bags (or small EOB items) your CVS generic tylenol product, and your softsoap spa body wash!!!

ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING!!! The quarterly ECB's started printing out on Apr 1. So make sure to check your receipt carefully even if you don't buy ECB items because you'll probably have some money on there. I had $23!!!!!

FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW TO CVS AND ROLLING ECB'S....PLEASE READ HOW IT WORKS.


For those of you that aren't familiar with CVS, you initially have to buy things with actual money but then certain items give you Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) that you use on your next trip to make purchases. If you're a smart CVSer, you can get bags full of things for very little money out of pocket once you get a supply of ECBs.

So remember....if you've not already been CVSing, you'll have to pay for the items the first time. You might want to only buy a few of the things that generate ECBs to start. Then use the ECBs you get when you go back again & again & again to keep buying more. I usually walk out of CVS with several bags and only spending a dollar or two.

They have sunscreen on sale. The girls and I are fair skinned so I stocked up for the summer. CVS is buy 1 get 1 50% off. At the store a coupon printed for me for $2 off if you spend $10 on CVS products so I saved with that as well.

Today I walked out spending $4.55 and thats only becuase I miss calculated. I got...

The Contour Glucose Monitor @ $14.99 and used the coupon for $30 off from 3/16 paper (with coupon adjusted down)
4 CVS Rapid Release Pain Relievers for @3.99 each
2 Colegate Total Whitening 4.2 oz toothpastes - B1G1 with card (@$2.59) and used 2 $1.50 coupons from a past Sunday paper
2 M&M candies @ 50 cents each

I used $12 in previous ECBs
Spent $4.55

Gained 30.95 in ECBs from the Monitor and the CVS Pain Relievers.

I have to say what a success it was! I am going to donate the monitor as no one in my family has a need for it. I am planning to go back tomorrow to use my ECBs -
Sodas 4/$12 with $3 ECBS back
Garnier Nutris Products for $15 with $5 ECB back
One more CVS Pain Reliever @ 3.99 with $3.99 ECB back.
2 Colegate Kids Toothpaste B1G1 with 2 75 cent off coupons
Hopefully I will spend somewhere around 31.88 and use my ECBs to only spend a dollar or two.
I will then earn 12.98 in ECBs - somewhat of a loss in ECBs, but still a super good deal since everything I am buying I will use.

Oh, and I'm going to look for those Essance of Beauty bags - my CVS never has these type of things though.

I already did this deal once and I spent $17.16. I want to do this deal again. Do I have to spend $15 in this transaction of Garnier products, or does $2.16 from my previous purchase count towards it? My reciept says
Amount Toward this Reward 17.16
Amount Needed to Earn Reward 15.00

Well usually if you have some carried over, you don't have to get the whole $15 dollars, so I would normally say you'd only have to buy$12.84. But I'm somewhat confused because I think when that's the case, the receipt will usually say you only need $12.84. So I guess you'll just have to try and see how it goes. Either way it's a good deal with getting the ECBs back and using the manufacturer's coupons.

They also had a few other deals I bought without coupons such as:

VO5 Shampoo & Conditioner $0.66 each, limit of 4 (I can use some of these products either in the shower or in some household recipes.)

BOGO Diapers $8.99. I bought got 80 size 3 diapers. This worked out to between $0.11-.12 each, cheaper than target (& possibly walmart). I'll have to see if they're a decent brand though.
