Are you new to CVS? You’ll want to read up on CVS 101 to learn how to make the most of your Extra Care Bucks. You should also review, and print, the CVS Coupon Policy and keep it with you.

   

First of all, before you look through the list,  you will notice a brand new feature here on Penny Pinchin’ Mom — a printable shopping list!  You will see a box next to each matchup.  If you want to print out the deal (including coupon information), just click the box next to the item.  Then, scroll down to Print My List.  A new window will come up and then you can confirm you’re going to print what you want and click the final print button.  Hopefully this helps you from having to copy and paste so much and remember those deals when you shop!  

Be sure that you get your extra savings coupons before you shop:   

  • $3/$15 cosmetics purchase by scanning your card at the kiosk
  • $4/$20 purchase by signing up here for emails
  • $5/$15 purchase by printing form and saying hello at the minute clinic

Just wanted to post this to remind everyone about this great rebate offer!  It is simple to get your booklet – just purchase $50.00 worth of ANY P&G Products and you’ll get this booklet.  The best part is that it doesn’t have to even be in one transaction.  Here’s what you will need to do to get this rebate:

3.  Mail the receipt(s) along with this completed rebate form, to

P&G Everyday Savings

There is LOTS of time for you to get to your $50.00 as your enveloped doesn’t even need to be postmarked until January 14, 2011.   Take a look at all of the brands that are included in this offer as well as the full list of coupons you will get in your booklet.

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

by Tracie on October 30, 2010 · 1 comment


I’ve talked about Recycle Bank before, but it is such a great program, that it is worth mentioning – in case you haven’t yet signed up! Here’s how it works:

1. Sign up at Recycle Bank.  When you do, register without activating your account.  This should credit your account with 25 points.

2.  Go into your account and you will see a link to join the conversation about reusing — through Ebay. Click this link and follow the prompts to get a quick 50 points in your account.

3.  Head on over to retailmenot.com and get a code to credit your account with a quick 15 points.

4.  Enter points code under points partner nature made: 031604025496 5 times to you’ll add another 50 points.

Once your account has been credited with your points, sign in. Select GET REWARDS from the top of the screen. Just look through the list and you will find lots of great coupon offers.   They have great coupons for Huggies, Clorox products and more — and higher value that you can normally find in the newspaper or on-line!  They now even offer magazine subscriptions — so you can pick up Oprah, Redbook or even others possibly for FREE!

Be sure to read up on different ways you can increase your points by doing things to help the environment by recycling.  Plus – you can get rewarded in the process!

OK – so are you tired of deal sites yet?  LOL!  This is one that is perfect if you’ve got children — especially with the holidays quickly approaching.  Totsyoffers high end toys at some amazing prices.  What is really fun is that each weekend, between now and Thanksgiving, they are going to be offering the toy sales every Thursday – Tuesday – so you can get in some pretty amazing deals!   Right now, some of the brands that are included are: MerryMakers, ImagiPlay, Dexton and one I personally love – Green Toys, Inc.

I love Green Toys as they make the toys from recycled plastic and other materials that are evironmentally friendly.  I like knowing that my kids are playing with something that really is good for the environment!  This adorable gardening set is just $13.99!  They have all sorts of really cute toys available.
