Dove Skin Vitalizer Coupon

Dove has a $3.50/1 coupon for the Skin Vitalizer. Register and print here. This would go good with the deal at CVS this week. For all other deals check out iheartcvs.com

A Few Good Deals

I went to CVS today to see if they had the Dove Skin Vitalizer in stock. Unfortunately they did not, but I was able to get a rain check. My store had 3-packs of Chapstick on sale for $1.00(in clearance section). They also had 5 packs of Tootsie Bunch Pops on sale for $0.13( I found them in a bin in the front of the store. They were labeled as a quarter). I love bargain shopping, even when it doesn't go as planned.

This is Why I Love CVS.

Today I Quick stop at CVS to pick up the this weeks deals. Here's what I purchased.

1 Softsoap body wash/scrub
4 Purex laundry detergant
4 Sobe life water
1 3pk chapstick

used $3 off any $15 purchase coupon
$1 Softsoap coupon
2 buy one get one free coupons for the detergent(it was on sale buy one get
one free this week)
2 buy one get one free coupons for the Sobe(it was also on sale buy one get
one free this week)

Paid $3.32 earned $4.99 ecb(in store coupon good on next purchase)

I think it was a successful shopping trip. I am not fond of Purex, but it will work fine for towels.

Sorry About Lack of Posts

I was out of town, and then had to get ready for Easter among other things. I'll start posting again tomorrow. Happy bargain hunting.

Sorry

I won't have access to a computer for a few days. I will post the rest of the tips when I get back on.

Ways I Save

Part Three

We stockpile items we find on sale. Right now in my kitchen you will find various food and cooking items that were free or cheap after coupon. In the bathroom closet you will find many health and beauty products, cosmetics, and over-the-counter items we purchased the same way. If it's free it's for me (within reason).
Today was a fairly good shopping trip. We made stops at CVS, Walgreen's, Walmart, and Meijer. Below is the breakdown.
