TP Land
January 28th, 2008I think we’re set on toilet paper til the baby’s potty-trained…
OK, maybe not quite, but 100 double rolls of Cottonelle will last us quite a while. Net cost from CVS in the deal I did? $9.50 plus some tax, less than 10 cents a roll.
The deal is that the special 20 roll bonus packs are now half-price, $4.99 (down from $9.99) and each generates $2 in ECB’s as part of the January monthly promotion. (Limit is 5 per ExtraCare card) Combined with $.50 manufacturer’s coupons and $ off $$ CVS coupons, they are uber-cheap!
Here’s a simple scenario -
-Buy 4 packs x $4.99 = $19.96
-Add a little filler to bring your total over $20, like a $.25 pencil = $20.21
-Use a $4 off $20 CVS coupon = $16.21
-Use as many manufacturer coupons as you have, up to 4 x $.50 = $14.21
-And receive $8 back in ECB’s
So $6.21 net cost (plus tax) for 80 rolls.
Can you ever have too much TP?
While at CVS, you might as well use a $10 off $50 coupon instead and get your free after ECB Stayfree pads, Speedstick, SoyJoy, etc. Crystal has all the scoop on this week’s hot deals.
Unfortunately we do not have a CVS where we live, but I can imagine having too much TP! A few months ago, our Albertson’s had the Scott T.P Mega Soft on sale for 10/$10. Then there were peelies just below the product for $1.00 off. You guessed it. Free toilet paper and a lLARGE stack in our basement. Then Albies’ did this sale again just recently and there were more coupons in the newspaper this time. So more toilet paper… Although the paper is not nice of quality as Cottonelle - you can’t beat free.
This is such and easy way to save $ in the grocery budget.
Way to go!
