Diaper Steal

As mentioned earlier I have started trying to really increase my savings at the grocery store by following SouthernSavers

My favorite deal of the week:

I just HAD to make a CVS run when I read this deal that was too good to be true!  I read the add that said CVS had the box Huggies wipes on sale for 2/$5.  Good deal, but nothing to rearrange my day to make a trip to the pharmacy about.  But today I read that the refill packs are also ringing up $2.50.  That's $5.49 off!  So, I quickly changed Sterling, while noticing that this came at the perfect time as we are almost out, and rushed to CVS.  By the way, all of the refill packs are doing this not just the one pictured (Soft Skin).  That is just what they had left at my CVS store.

Apparently everyone else knew about this too, because they had only two packs left, and I got both!   But before you rush out to the store finish reading this.  I also read on SouthernSavers that if you swiped your card at the price checker you could get coupons one for $2.00 off Huggies wipes. 

I didn't even know that CVS had one of these.  If you don't know where yours is search the store because apparently almost all of them have one.  Scan your card and a pack of wipes and it will print an additional $2.00 off that makes it $.50!!  Like I said, I bought two packs, but it would only print one coupon.  But I also got a $5 off $15 purchase and some others, so scan as many packs as you get just in case.

I went to the checkout with my two packs of diapers, and my $2.00 coupon as well as two $.50 coupons I got in the mail for Huggies wipes (thanks Mom for the extra one).  For two bags of 184 wipes, I paid $2.00+tax.  That's $1.00 a piece, and I saved $13.98!!

Now go to your local CVS before their shelves look the way I left them here, empty.

P.S. - I also had $5.00 CVS bucks, but didn't use them because I wasn't spending enough money.  If they had had another bag I could have gotten them all for free!  :(
