Sudafed is one of those expensive allergy drugs that my loved ones use a lot. I was actually just thinking about buying some more for our own household because I thought it might help augment my prescription allergy regimen. Today, I got 12 off-brand sudafed tablets -- AND I GOT PAID $3 to do so. Shoplifting With Permission -- for Profit!
It's an unadvertised deal at CVS, which I read about on Money Saving Mom. Buy ALAVERT-D on sale for $6.99, get $4ECB. Here's the deal I did this morning which made it better than free:
1 Alavert-D $6.99
1 Speed Stick 24/7 $3.99
2 CVS brand Calcium with Vitamin D $4.99 (bogo)
1 CVS brand Dye-Free bendadryl $4.69
1 CVS pocket tissue $0.50
------------------------
$21.16
coupons:
$2 off vitamins CVS coupon
$3 off $10 CVS brand purchase
$2 off Alavert CVS coupon
$3 off CVS brand benadryl CVS coupon
$4/$20 CVS coupon
$4 off Alavert manufacturers' coupon
$1 off Speed Stick manufacturers' coupon
----------------------------
Total paid: $2ECB, 54 cents out of pocket
RECEIVED $7.99 ECBs!
Believe me, I would have been happy to pay $2.50 for the Alavert-brand sudafed alone. This stuff is $10.69 when not on sale.
By the way, pseudophedrine (sudafed)-containing medications are kept behind the pharmacy counter, at least in Illinois. I'm not sure how many of these one person is allowed to buy in how much time. But, according to Money Saving Mom, the limit for this deal is 5 times.
I have more $4 off coupons from the Web site, and some $2 off from this week's Sunday ads, although no more CVS store coupons for Alavert at the moment. I will definitely buy as many as these as I have coupons. Even only using a $2 coupon, that's just $1 per pack after ECBs.
