CVS Sunday - Put Together 3 NICE Mother's Day Gift Bags for $18

Once again, not a super-hot week for CVS, but that's what I said last time and I ended up doing 5 or 6 transactions anyway. Today we plan to hit the Kenosha CVS where my parents live on the way to the birthday party for my mom, grandma and daughter. I am putting together gift bags for the ladies similar to the scenarios posted below, but I need to stop to get the non-EOB nail polish and (hopefully) some toe separaters.

Before I go into my planned scenarios for the week, here is a suggestion for using the Essence of Beauty promo to put together three gifts for mothers day or (in my case) birthdays. Total investment is $17.50ECB or cash, and you'll end up with $5ECB left over.

If you have any CVS-brand coupons (like $3/$10) these deals will be that much sweeter.

TRANSACTION 1:

3 EOB gift bags ($4.50)

2 EOB hand lotions ($10)

2 EOB nail brushes ($4)

2 toe separater ($2)

-------------------------------

$20.50

use $4/$20 CVS coupon from signing up email

spend $16.50, get $20ECB

TRANSACTION 2: (MUST USE SOMEONE ELSE'S CARD AS LIMIT OF 5 WOULD BE REACHED)

2 EOB moisturizing glove sets ($8)

1 EOB hand lotion ($5)

5 EOB toe separaters ($5)

1 EOB nail brush ($2)

1 nail polish any brand

---------------------------------

$24

use $4/$20 coupon

pay the $20ECB you just earned

get $15ECB

TRANSACTION 3 (YOU WILL NEED TO USE SOMEONE ELSE'S CARD):

1 EOB moisturizing glove ($4)

2 EOB toe separaters ($2)

2 nail polishes of any brand ($14)

---------------

$20

Use $4/$20 coupon

pay the $15ECB you just earned plus $1

earn $5ECB

So now you have 3 gift sets:

bag

nail polish

nail scrubber

hand lotion

moisturizing gloves

toe separaters

you also have 1 extra pair of toe separaters. The prices of nail polish are estimated, so these may throw off your totals by a bit.
