I’ve gotten so crazy about getting steals at the big pharmacy chains that my husband now calls me “Thelma” {as in, Thelma and Louise} and my dad calls me a pirate.  The best part is it’s all legal– no jail time for me!  Some of you said you’d like more money saving tips, so here are a few from this week:

Have you registered your Extra Care Card with CVS yet?  If not, do it now!  They often send great coupons that really sweeten Extra Care deals.  For example, this week they sent a coupon for a FREE Schick Trimmer (retail value= 11.99).  I also handed them a coupon for $2 off the trimmer from a recent coupon insert.  Both coupons worked since one was from CVS and the other a manufacturer’s coupon.  I got a free trimmer for the hubs and it was a $2 money maker!  Most of the time they send coupons for $5 off a $25 purchase, but even that usually works out to a great deal when you combine it with Extra Care specials.

Do you have dry winter skin?  I suffer from it all year long, so I was psyched when I saw this week’s Eucerin deal: spend $20 on Eucerin, and get $10 back in ECBs.  That basically makes Eucerin 50% off.  I did this deal twice, once with my card and once with my husband’s card, and so I got $40 in Eucerin for $20 (after ECBs).  SWEET!  There are coupons for Eucerin out there (like the one for $1/1 Eucerin Body Product from last week’s coupon insert), but even without them it was a great deal.  I’m stocked up through summer now.

Cheez-it Double Packs are $5.99, but you get $3 back in ECBs.  That works out to $1.50 each, so if you are a Cheez-it fan like me it’s a good deal.  Got a coupon?  Even better!

As much as a guy can like shampoo, my husband likes Pert Plus 2 in 1 Shampoo/Conditioner.  He thinks it’s so efficient.  He was even more in awe with the men’s version: a THREE in one!  Yes, that would be shampoo/conditioner/body wash.  Men.  Anyways, Walgreens has both on sale for 2/$5, and you get a $2 Register Reward when you purchase 2.  Sunday’s insert had a coupon for $1 AND $1.50 off the men’s version, so using both coupons with the sale and getting a register reward brought the price to .50 each.  He was so proud of his Thelma when I told him about this deal!

Love coffee?  How about Coffeemate?  This week the 8 ounce size is BOGO (regularly $2.49 each), so if you use this $1.50/2 coupon it works out to .49 each if you buy two.  YUM!

When you count the Register Rewards that I can use toward next week’s deals, I was able to get 2 Coffeemates and 2 Pert Plus bottles for $2 total.  Don’t you love a great deal?

I stopped in on Saturday for a few things and they had Christmas items for 90% off.  I started to walk by, thinking: “ack, more tacky leftover Christmas stuff!” but noticed the huge ribbon was actually pretty cute and that the floral picks (now only 5 cents each) would go well with a few projects I have in mind.  Not sure if there’s anything else left, but if you live close by you might want to check it out.
