Finally I made some money at my CVS once again. I know I haven’t posted any of my deals in a long time but it has been busy and hectic with the kids home for the Summer. You do have to hurry; tomorrow will be the last day to take advantage of a 4X6 and/or a 6X8 photo book. They are on sale for $7.99 and you get back $7.99 in ECB’s. How good is that? They also have a limit. For each extra care card, you can buy one 4X6 and up to two 6X8 photo books.
Today I went to my local CVS with my photo CD book and I made two photo books. It takes some time but if you know in advance what pictures you would like in the book, you can make one in minutes.
I made one from our vacation in Lancaster, PA last year and another one from my daughter’s birth in 2005. I do need to make more photo books. I have hundreds of pictures taken from my digital camera that was never printed out. That is one thing I dislike about having a digital camera; you are left with hundreds of pictures in your pc if you’re a procrastinator like me.
Anyway, here’s my deal:
2-6X8 photo books
= $15.98
Tax $1.30
Total: $17.28
Coupons used:
$3.00 ECB from Sure deodorant
$6.00 off Kodak photo book (2 Q)
$3.00 off a $15 CVS purchase
Total: $12.00 off from coupons.
New total: $4.79
The best part of the deal is that I got back $15.98 in ECB’s. So technically I made $11.19. Not bad, uh?
So did you have any great deals this week? I’d love to know.
I really, really wanted to take advantage of the photos book deals…but my photos are all over the place and I don’t have the time to gather them. I need to get my act together and organize my photos so that I don’t miss out on great deals like this again! I’m glad you caught it though!!!
Wow that is a great deal! You totally scored.
For the same reaon you described is why I try to stay on top of our family pictures. My camera holds 1600 images & I think 224 is the most I had in my camera. Tonight I’ll put them in the family albums and lable the pix. That’ll take me a couple of hours, I hope there’s something good on tv tonight! lol
I was just thinking you haven’t posted about your CVS savings in a while! That’s great savings! I went this weekend and spent $11 but saved $14!! I’m learning from the master! Thank you Sen-Say. 🙂
I missed the really good photo book deal last week, but I have a coupon for a free one & think they will be great grandparent Christmas gifts!
LOL.. You are too funny. I’ve seen many other blogs where they show their savings and I get jealous b/c they REALLY score on the savings. I have so much and I have given stuff away too. I don’t like to take advantage of CVS anyway. Some people really take this CVS thing too seriously where they are posting tons of transactions to get so much for free. I feel CVS might take away the ECb’s deal (which I hope that will not happen any time soon) so that is why I don’t do it too often. YKWIM?
BTW, I haven’t really been in a “blogging” mood.. Can you tell? I guess it’s b/c the kids keep me VERY busy.
