My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
Thank you for all your time and efforts you do to post all these deals it is soooo helpful! Following your site is one of the main reasons I can be a stay at home Mommy, and that to me is Priceless! You are Amazing and I wanted to say Thank You from the Green Family!
Thank you Christina! That means a lot!
Thanks for the scenarios!!! I went to Walgreens this morning and the Bayer is 3.59 at mine…still a money maker though!
I bought 6 bayer low dose at Wags at 3.59. Used 6 $3/1 paid 3.54 plus tax got back 10 rr. Used it to buy some starbucks k cups. Also, the starbucks refreshers are 2.29 and there’s a $1/1 coupon and Wags monthly coupon makes them .29 ea. The $1/1 was a printable nla exp. 12/31.
Physician formula is buy 1 get 1 free at cvs- great deal if you have the $15 cvs machine coupon plus..it’s part of the gas promo deal !
Sorry ..and I also received a $3.00 off $10 machine coupon today for beauty so the manager said I can use it as well so it was a great deal
$3 off $10 CVS coupon for cosmetics? Or did it say beauty?
I got one of those too, it was for cosmetics.
Yes, it was originally cosmetic but the machine at that cvs jammed and the red machine coupon only printed 1/2 way. The manager was nice and gave me a ecb for $3.00 instead so I used that. With or without, still a nice deal. Thanks
at my cvs… PF is B1G1 50% and it is part of the gas deal.
My Rite Aid had Bayer on sale for $1.99 – 24 count. It was marked $3 but the manager said it was on sale. He even took the coupons and gave me the overage.
Why do you need to buy 7 bayer at Walgreens for the RR? Is it in the ad? Anyone else try this and it worked? My Walgreens in the area are not always the friendliest. Thanks for posting!
Hi Melanie, you need to spend $20 on participating Bayer to get the $10 RR. Based on online pricing you would have to buy 7 to hit this minimum, but if your price is higher in store (which seems to be the case based on other comments posted), you may only need to purchase 6. Just make sure you hit $20 before coupons. Hope that helps!
On transaction 2 on the Walgreens Scenario where does the 3rr come from?
I only ask because on the ad it says $1 rr for the bayer advanced. Is it printing different at the stores or is it this a typo? Also thank you for all the help! I look on here for all kinds of help! Such a time saver!
Hi Lily, there are 2 different Bayer promotions going on at Wags this week. The first is a single $1 RR on the Bayer Advanced. The second, is a $10 RR wyb $20 on Bayer (advanced excluded). Hope this helps!
It was a typo Lily. It should be a $2 RR from the Suave deal. I updated the scenario. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for the help!
I don’t know if this was a super good deal or not, but I needed to use up a $15 RR before expiration. CVS had the Huggies-spend-$30-deal and get $10 RR back. The Huggies Wipes 184 ct. were $6 each so I bought 5= $30 – $15 RR= $17 OOP (incl. tax), got back $10 RR. So $7 for 5 big bags of Huggies Wipes.
Sounds like a good deal for you since you had rewards to spend, but for most people it would be $32 OOP so not as great of a deal.
Still not bad after the $10 reward just not as good as your deal.
Thanks Michele! I only had a few minutes in the store with my impatient husband, so I was happy to see the Huggies wipes “deal” because they were something that we use a lot of.
