    cvs freebies!-- AGAIN!

    Posted on 12/23/2008 7:44:07 PM  •  Comments (0)  • 

    I thought nothing would top the sales of FAECB items on Black Friday from CVS, but thank goodness they did it again a month later so I could use all my ECB up!

     
    I paid 1.44 on GC and used $190 ECB. I got back $230 in ECB and giftcards, so it was a pretty good profit! Here's my haul.





    I also got these 99 cent American Greeting cards by using $1 off ANY American Greeting Card wine tags found at Kroger. Even though the coupon came from Kroger, they don't sell anything but Hallmark there!

    don't forget about pepsi stuff

    Anyone who is doing the Pepsi Stuff Rewards program- don't forget they expire and you will lose all points if not redeemed by the end of this year! I cashed out for a 320 CD holder (figured it'd be great for blinkies, tearpads, oversized Qs) and some headphones.

    Each is priced on Amazon at $30 each!  I still have a bunch to spend so I hope they update the prizes... but I certainly am not counting on it!

    edit: round 2 & 3 added! scroll down to view

    Yes, that's right- it started at 12 AM Thanksgiving! I was able to hit a 24 hr store and even then some items were already out of stock. Here's what I got (the same items on 2 cards), most are Free After Extra Care Bucks:

     

    2 Aussie $2.99 each - $1 Q = FAECB
    2 Colgate Advancedd $2.99 each - $1 Q = FAECB
    2 Loreal Lip $6.99 each - $1 Q = FAECB
    1 Johnsons lotion $5.69- $1 Q = FAECB
    1 Garnier towlettes $5.99 - $1 Q = FAECB
    1 Sally Hanson nail polish $3.79  = FAECB
    1 Cover girl Liquid foundation $7.99 - $1 Q = FAECB
    1 Cover girl powder $5.99 - $1 Q = FAECB
    1 Playtex - $1 Q = FREE



    all of the items above but the playtex and sally hansen were a money maker because of coupons.
    one one card i get $10 off $50 Qs, so my total oop was $.39 after using ECB - my profit on that card was $21.01
    on the other card, all i had was a $3 off 15, and i somehow LOST a colgate Q instore... so my total was $1.43 instead of $.43 :( and my profit was $12.01

    The store was out of both razors, so I got rainchecks, and I didn't get a few of the items that I knew I didn't need. I ran in to quite a few ladies from HCW- very nice. I think I will head out again today but am in no hurry. I am very happy I was able to roll some big $$$ ECB from previous weeks!

     



    edit: round 2 added!

     3 transactions, at 2 stores resulted in the items below and I ended up paying $3.63 OOP with an ECB profit of almost $20!:
     am now sitting on ~ $215 in ECB :)

     

     



    edit: round 3 added!

     2 Gatorade
    2 Complete Solution
    1 Schick Trimmer
    2 Duracell
    1 Philips Headphones
    = OOP of 44 CENTS!

    thank you chase+1

    All last year there was a Facebook group for Chase+1 - a promotional group for the new credit card for students. Everyday at 11 am there was a daily trivia where the first 200 with the right answer would win a point. 1 point = $1 . By the end of the promo period I had almost $300 worth to spend! I am now receiving the items - below are just a few.

     

     


    going green with pepsi stuff

    First off the Pepsi Stuff promotion has been VERY good to me this year. I have received hundreds of dollars of dvds, cds, etc. But before it expires on 12-31 I had to use the remainder of my points and decided to get a few more of these 50 point totes. I'm sure if you shop a lot like I do, the plastic bags are EVERYWHERE. I get paper at the grocery stores, but the drugstores dont offer paper. I got 4 totes so far. 1 more may be on the way? I can't remember how many I got exactly..... but its a great use of your points if you still have some left!

    This week Kroger has a "buy 10 items, save $5" promo. As always, combined with the right coupons, you can get some FREE or super cheap deals! Here's what I got today (Prices listed are AFTER the $5 discount, but the Q's used count towards the BEFORE price. So for example, the Sobe was just $.50 AFTER i get 10 ($1 before), but the $.30 Q will triple up to $.90, so I got an overage of $.40 on each :)

    2 Quaker Rice Snacks $1 each - $1 MQ = FREE
