Last night at CVS I got all this for free! If you pay attention, it is easy to get free personal care products utilizing the CVS app or website, their cashback and coupons. First make sure you have an extra care account and number. You can then go online to CVS and click the coupons you want, or download the app and click. (the app is easier but I know some of you don’t like apps). Then enter your phone number at checkout and get your coupons and cashback. Split your transactions up so you can use some of the cash back immediately.
Right now Colgate toothpaste is 2 for 7.98. The app has a coupon for $3 off 2, and they have a $5 Extra Rewards Bucks that you get back, so basically they pay you .01 to take home two tubes of toothpaste!
The shampoo deal requires a paper coupon. Every week I get grocery flyers and a small coupon mailer. Recently there was a coupon for buy one/ get one free on Love Beauty and Planet products. I purchased two shampoos at 7.99 each, used my $5 Extra Bucks from last transaction, plus the coupon to take 7.99 off. I paid $3 and then got $10 extra rewards bucks back, so technically they paid me $2.00 to purchase the shampoo. I used the $10 on items I needed around the house and snacks – they always have nuts and pantry items on sale and great prices.
I have not paid for toothpaste in years, but have been getting it free from CVS. If you are not doing this…it is like throwing money away!
