CVS: Freebies & Cheapies 4/15-4/21! 3 Moneymakers, 1 Freebie & 13 Under $1!

Friday, April 13, 2012 at 11:43pm by Melissa 2 Comments

New Stuff

Be sure to print your $3 off $15 purchase coupon when you share your story about how a CVS Pharmacist has helped you.

The match-ups begin with the Wisk promotion and scenario. From there, it continues with the moneymakers, freebies & cheapies as usual.

CVS has also released a new corporate coupon policy. Make sure you print a copy and take it with you when you shop. If this is new to you, you can read more about the changes to Buy One Get One Free sales and coupons HERE.

Old Stuff

Keep in mind that CVS ads can be extremely regional. You may find price variations in the sale items or they may not be on sale in your area at all.

Since I do this for you, I listen carefully to your suggestions. I’m going to highlight deals that I think are particularly good in BLUE. Why blue? Don’cha know? I’m outta colors! :) You know I color code everything to the moon. So when you see something BLUE, it’s worth noticing ~ above and beyond the regular MM, Freebies and green deal ideas.

I am now ONLY using online prices in my match-ups. I had been using my actual store prices, but that proved equally frustrating for many people. While I realize that online prices are also frustrating, they’re relatively accurate for some. Since they’re about the same in that regard, it’s easier to use online prices! For new items not yet in their online store, I will continue to use my store prices.

This list includes all the items under $1, most of the ECB deals and many, MANY more. Because I’m still doing most of the ad, every link isn’t tested, as I don’t buy everything that’s on sale and I’m too cheap to waste the ink. Let me know if one doesn’t work, if my math has taken a nose dive or I’ve missed a rule somewhere.

Items within a particular sale grouping are brown and deal ideas are green. Clearance is PURPLE. As always, items are in ascending order by final price.

Need more general help? Here you go or send me a message.

Amazon: The Thirteenth Unicorn (Free Kindle Download)

Friday, April 13, 2012 at 2:38pm by Melissa Leave a Comment

This looks like a fun read for the tween set. It’s a step up from the Magic Tree House series, and more reminiscent of The Chronicles of Narnia series. There are 38 reviews and an average of 4 stars. I read the two 2 star reviews and was unconvinced that they provided a substantial argument against the story quality. But then, I’m highly opinionated, as you know.

The Thirteenth Unicorn by WD Newman

Book Description:

While spending the summer with their grandparents on a remote farm in South Carolina, Ben Alderman and his sister Casey uncover a hidden world of magic; a world their grandmother is secretly visiting. It is a world where elves and dwarves are locked in mortal combat against a witch who is trying to free the last surviving wizard from exile. The witch has been defeated once before but with the combined power of the wizard, no one will be able to stand against them. Much to Ben’s dismay, he learns that he is the one foretold in the ancient elfin prophecies to bring about the downfall of the witch and save this exciting new world from destruction.

Note: As with all Amazon prices, the price on this Kindle offer can change at any time. This price is valid as of April 13th at 2:38pm EST. And even if you don’t have a Kindle, you can read these books using your computer or other mobile devices by downloading the appropriate app.
