Couponing for the Rest of Us

My CVS Black Friday Trip

I bet there are a LOT of you who had a ball at the drugstores with all the freebies offered on Black Friday.  I didn’t get a ton, but I did get some things I wanted, and a whole fistful of rainchecks for the things my store was out of (I love rainchecks!)  Here’s what I got:

  • Finish Quantum $2.99
  • (2) Listerine Pocket Pack Strips $2.99
  • (2) GUM Toothbrush 2-Packs $2.99
  • Starbucks Double Shot $1.69  *Not shown here, because it’s in my tummy
  • Kleenex Cool Touch $1.50
  • (4) Mars Singles $.75 *Not shown, in my kids tummies!

I’m going to be really honest here – I didn’t use a single coupon.(Gasp!)  I was too wrapped up in Thanksgiving (with my family) and Black Friday(on the website) to get my act together. (Nope – we’re not perfect!)  I just barely made into CVS on Saturday evening on my way out to rent a movie – and I STILL made out like a bandit!

Retail Value – $21.14
Total I Paid – $0 + tax!

Now, I would really love to hear from a few of you how much you saved at CVS (or Walgreens, or Rite-Aid!) on Black Friday.  Let’s hear your trips!!!

  1. I went to all three and found only carmex and candy at CVS, paid .90 cents and got $4 ECBs. I already had $3 ECBs going in. I then went to Rite Aid, did not find what I needed, the earbuds, got a rain check which are now printed from the register (pretty cool, eh!) bought the $5 remote and got the $5 UP, which I intend to use on the Tide this week with my $2 Tide coupons!! I has $2 UPs going in. My rite aid had all the black Friday stuff on a table which I thought was thoughtful. I then went to Walgreens (which also had all the black Friday items in one place and was well stocked), I bought stuff worth $35, paid $10.89 and got back $14.50 in Register Rewards!!! The stuff included, the Secret, Gillete, Colgate Toothpaste, Scunci and 2 Childrens Advil (which was a week long deal). Like you, I went on Saturday evening and I really just went to get what I really needed like the Children’s advil! Was a great drug store black Friday.

  2. there was a post about a legos website for sending e-cards and some sort of donation went to military, but I can’t remember the website- anyone still have it? Thanks.
