3-5 CVS: No coupons, still saved 74%

Lesson learned: always have your coupons with you! I stopped at CVS at 41st and Harvard today and found tremendous unadvertised savings including 75% off many pet supplies. I saved 74% without coupons.

Boss is a happy pup enjoying his toys and chews, Harley will be a happy pup when she gets her treats, I'm a happy extreme shopper!
  • CVS special, 10 for 10. Although you don't have to buy 10 items, I wanted to and mixed and matched several items including 5 boxes of brownie cake mix, 3 small containers of Emerald honey roasted nuts, 1 bag of Emerald trail mix, and 1 small bag of ginger snap cookies - $10
  • Several makeup and manicure items were 75% off - I got 2 Borghese nail polish regularly $7.99 each on sale for $1.99 each, 1 Orly glosser regularly $7.99 on sale for $1.99, 1 bottle of hair conditioner regularly 3.99 on sale for .99, and eye makeup remover bottle regularly $2.50, 75% off for 62-cents, and 3 small bags of gummy candy regularly $1.29 on sale for 32-cents each,
  • Several dog and cat treats on clearance for 75% off including 4 bags of Milkbone chews, regularly $3.49 each on sale for $1.12 each, and 2 boxes of Arm and Hammer litter deodorizer regularly $3.69 each on sale for 92-cents each, 1 knotted rope toy regularly $3.99 on sale for 99-cents, 3 packages of Natural Rawhide Munchy Sticks regularly $3 each on sale for 74-cents each, 1 small chew toy regularly $3 on sale for 74-cents

  • A few grocery items marked 25% off including 1 box of Kellogg's pop tarts regularly $3.79 on sale for $2.84 (which is closer to grocery store prices), 2 Old El Paso items including refried beans and green chiles   
  • On the shampoo aisle I found Dove extra volume conditioner at 75% off, regularly $4.79 on sale for $1.19 each.
  • Best find of all was a heating pad regularly $35.49 on sale for $5 . . . and it qualifies as a tax-deductible flex med program item
