CVS – quick little MM

The small size cans (2.5 oz) of Gillette Fusion shaving gel and the plain Gillette blue can are both generating $2 ecbs – use the $1 coupon in the November P&G to make these a slight money maker.  The Fusion rings up at 2.37, while the blue can is 1.69 (?).  Weird, I know.  The satellite system was down, which means no ecbs.  They put the $4 onto a gift card, which works even better for me.  So 1.55 MM after taxes.  Oh, I almost forgot:  limit one ecb per card.

Wandered around for a while, trying to see what we could get a deal on.  The only thing that immediately jumped out at me was the cashews on BOGO which is great since they are also part of the Spend $30 get a $10 gift card promotion.
Buy 10 and pay for five at $5.79.  Brings you to $28.95, which probably won’t trigger the card.  Then I saw this display of holiday M&Ms for 2/$5, remembered that $1.50 Mars IP I still had and did some quick math:  $28.95 + $2.50 = $31.45.  Subtract the 1.50 and you’re at $29.95 and get back a $10 gift card, so $19.95 for 10 cans of almonds and a big-ass bag of M&Ms.  What more do you need in life?  If you’re going to be doing any holiday baking or throwing a party, less than two bucks a can for cashews is crazy-low.

    • Every deal has different terms, Justin. One week it could be this price with ecbs, another week no ecbs but a different price. It’s all marketing, seeing how many sales they can generate and make the most cash from.
