If you are planning on scoring one of the countless FREEBIES CVS & Walgreens will be giving us for Black Friday, make sure you start planning ahead now! I posted the ad and coupon matchups over a week ago so I wanted to repost the links to both the matchups and scenarios to insure that you didn’t miss them:
CVS Black Friday Deals
Walgreens Black Friday Deals

CVS’ Facebook page is giving us a great printable coupon right now! If you take their quiz and are one of the first 100,000 registrants by 12/25/11, you will receive a coupon good for 20% off! I haven’t been able to print my coupon yet so I am not sure whether or not there is a black out date for Black Friday. Hopefully there isn’t because then we will score even better deals! To take the quiz and score your coupon, go HERE to “like” CVS and click on the “Christmas Shopper Quiz” category. Once you complete the quiz, enter your ExtraCare card # and the coupon will be emailed to you.
**UPDATE – Sara reported on Addicted to Saving’s Facebook page that this coupon has a limit of just a few days to use it. It is also limited to non-sale items. So this will not work on ECB deals. Just regularly priced items.
Fine print: Get 20% off shopping pass for the first 100K registrants or by 12/25/11. Limit one per cardholder. You will receive an email with a coupon containing full offer details.
Thanks Heather P for posting this on Addicted to Saving’s Facebook page! 🙂

This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Extra Care Bucks at CVS. Please know that you do not have to follow these transactions if you do not want to. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your Extra Care Bucks from one scenario to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

If you are concerned you will let them expire, I would put your ECBs towards paper products like toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, etc which are hard to get dirt cheap!

I am super excited about Black Friday! I tend to stock up on many of my heath and beauty items this time of year! CVS has a nice long list of “FREE after ECB deals” for us this year. There are several items that have coupon match ups making them moneymakers, which I find irresistible! They also have several Gift Card deals in this ad. I have posted several of them but make sure to check your local ad and store for even more of these deals. I have posted every ECB deal in this CVS ad but if you see any other deals or unadvertised ECB deals, please leave a comment on this post so that everyone can take advantage of the deals. You can email them to me but I may not have a chance to post each and every deal – so posting them here would be better.
**Also – make sure you click the link at the bottom of this post that says “Display All Matchups” so that you don’t miss out on any of the deals below!

It is kind of a slow week for ECB deals at CVS. I am purchasing the Oral B toothbrush for a Christmas gift so my out of pocket this week is a bit more for that reason. If you weren’t planning to spend that much this week, feel free to take the week off, or take your ECBs from last week to help bring your out of pocket total down. This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Extra Care Bucks at CVS. Please know that you do not have to follow these transactions if you do not want to. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your Extra Care Bucks from one scenario to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

It seems like a pretty slow week for ECB deals at CVS. Make sure you check out the $10.00 “Gift Card Deal” towards the bottom of this post. There is quite a long list of items included in this deal. You can earn up to five $10 gift cards for select stores when you spend $30 on participating products. May be a great opportunity to earn some gift cards for the holidays! I have posted every ECB deal in this week’s CVS ad but if you see any other deals or unadvertised ECB deals, please leave a comment on this post so that everyone can take advantage of the deals. You can email them to me but I may not have a chance to post each and every deal – so posting them here would be better.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..Read More Here...
