CVS - 6/16/14 - Free Items after ECBs!

CVS - 6/16/14 - Free Toothpaste, Toothbrushes and Deodorant!

Hopefully, the first thing you do when you go in CVS is scan your ExtraCare card at the Red Coupon Machine. This will print out coupons you can use and stack with your MQs.

This week, one of the coupons I received was $3/2 Charmin or Bounty products. There were no size restrictions indicated on the coupon. I'll show you how I used that coupon in the breakdown.

First off, most Crest Toothpastes are on sale for $2.99 this week. When you buy 1, you get a $2.00 ECB. There are $1.00/1 MQs and IPs available. That makes them $2.00 each, getting back a $2.00 ECB. So, FREE after ECB! You can do this a limit of 2 times.

The Crest "Be Adventurous" toothpastes aren't  marked on sale, but they are. 

Any time you want to know the price of something or if it's on sale, you can also use the Red Coupon Machine for this. Just take the item(s) to the machine and scan it. It'll show you the price and if it's on sale. This is also good on seeing if an item is on clearance. That's how I confirmed that the "Be Adventurous" toothpastes were included in this deal.

The Colgate 360 Toothbrushes are pretty much the same deal. They are on sale for $2.99. When you buy 1, you get a $2.00 ECB. There is a $1/1 MQ. So, you pay $2.00 and get back a $2.00 ECB, making them FREE after ECB. You can do this a limit of 2 times as well.

The Right Guard Xtreme Clear Deodorants are on sale 2/$6.00. When you buy 2, you get a $2.00 ECB. We got $2/1 MQs in this past Sunday's paper. So, you'll pay $2.00 for 2 deodorants and get back a $2.00 ECB - FREE after ECB.

Lastly, the Charmin single rolls of bath tissue were $1.57 each. Since the CVS Q I received didn't have a size restriction, I used it on these. So, the total was $3.14. I used the $3/2 CVS Q and paid .14 for 2 rolls or .07 each.

If you're in need of oral care items, this is a great week to get started at CVS!

Smiley360 Review - Perk Vent Wrap Auto Air Fresheners (Get $1 Coupon!)

One of the sites that I get lots of awesome free products and coupons from is Smiley360.

Recently, they sent me quite a few Perk Ven Wrap Auto Air Fresheners to try out.

Keep reading and I'll post a link for you to get coupons for them! :) I'll also post a link for you to join Smiley360 if you're interested.

So, first off, you may have noticed the air fresheners when you get in your/someone else's car. Some of them are the colorful scented trees that hang from the rearview mirror, some are the little sticks, etc. They come in so many different forms, shapes and sizes now and they're pretty noticeable.

That's one of the things that makes Perk Vent Wraps different. They're  made to not stand out as much as possible. They're black and compact and slide right onto your vent in your car. 

Next, when I first signed up for this mission. ("Missions" is the term Smiley360 gives product testing. You're on a mission!) Anyway, when I first signed up for this mission, I had to select 3 or 4 scents that I like. There were so many to choose from! I love variety. I ended up choosing clean linen and new car scent...and something else. Oh, vanilla, yeah - I chose that one too.

Logically, the next step was to try these babies out. So, we popped one in the car and immediately were able to smell "clean linen." (One of my favorite scents, in general, by the way.) This isn't anything extraordinary, because you always get a fresh burst of scent when you first open the fresheners. 

We did appreciate how discreet it was. Not that we wanted to hide it, but air fresheners can be an eye sore.

Fast forward to the next time we got in the car. We had completely forgotten about the air freshener being in there and seriously, when we got in, my husband and I both commented on how good the car smelled. This happened quite a few times after. 

So, with all this being said - Perk Vent Wrap Auto Air Fresheners are great. They are long-lasting, great-smelling and you don't even notice them. 

Here's a great opportunity for you to give them a try, just Click Here to be taken to a link to receive $1 Off Coupon.

If you're interested in joining, comment with your email address and I'll send you an invitation. :)
