I haven’t done a CVS deal in ages! Crazy!! But there has just been so muc other stuff going on, new projects, our whole household has been sick, etc. I haven’t even been posting frugal shopping stuff on my blog, even as much as I love it. {I’ve gone over the edge, I know it!}
I’m loving this set up & think I will visit my CVS Monday and rack it up. I’m sure since they’ve missed me, they won’t mind one transaction after another. ;) Oh, and I won’t be “rolling” that $8 at the end. That’ll go for a pack of diapers. {Any diaper deals? Needing some! LOL!}
Great work!

Hi Tara,
The coupon for Just for men prints $2 off one package of just for men shampoo in hair color. Will this coupon work for the touch of gray that is advertised?

This was my first week doing the CVS shopping. I have never really been in the store before. I am surprised how easy this all was and did a good job for my first week. Thanks for the great tips and I hope to do it every week!

Tina, I’m not actually sure. It worked last time they had this promotion, so it’s worth a try. It’s still free after ECBs, and you have the MIR too either way.
Great job, Diane! Warning, it can be addictive, LOL.

Thank you, Amber. That really means a lot to me!

I’m really trying to justify going for the Just for Men deal even though we don’t need it, don’t know anybody who needs it, and can’t find any alternative uses for the product. It’s an awesome money-maker, but I really don’t want to get in the habit of introducing unnecessary clutter into our home, or producing more waste by just tossing the box once we’ve got it. Does anyone else have any good ideas for how to make this product a useful buy?
