I forgot to post about the Boost deal because I could not get any of the coupons to print from my computer, but that is a good moneymaker!
I personally don't condone using $4/$20 coupons unless they have been emailed directly to your inbox, but aside from that your deals look good! :)
I looked at the 4/20 beauty coupon that someone sent me a link to earlier, and realized it wasn't one I should use.
I'm curious - can you use your initial "welcome" e-mail more than once? Or how do people who blog about so many of these deals have 4/20s to use for transaction after transaction? I've been doing this for about a month now, and I've only ever received 2 CRTs. And those were product/brand specific.
What does the Beauty Handbook look like? I haven't seen it and I thought I'd try to find it today.
Thanks!

As far as whether or not you can use the one sent you to multiple times, I don't know. I'm not sure what CVS's policy is on that, so I'd say just do that you feel comfortable with.
Other people find Welcome email coupons posted on various sites, but that is coupon fraud, since it clearly states on the coupon that it is solely to be used for the individual to whom it was sent.
That is why you will not find me posting deals using multiple $4/$20 coupons or any other CVS coupons found floating around the internet.
It's green. I found mine on the register counter up front. It's about 4in x 6in and says "FOR BIG SAVINGS!" and "CVS Store Coupons" on the front. An associate would probably be able to direct you to one if you can't find it.
Thanks - I'll have to look for it. I did make a quick run through CVS this evening to get Alavert. 3 boxes - 3 coupons - the cashier actually asked me if I had any more because I wasn't at my limit :-)
And I finally got a few CRTs ($1 on any Viva Towel, $5 on Pure Black Rice Skin Care - hmm, no idea what that is, and $5 on any 24.7). Now I just have to figure out if it's worth it to use any of them!
OK...I'm going to try this CVS thing this week. I didn't quite get it at first, still trying to wrap my head completely around it. But it seems beneficial. Especially when I can donate some of the things that I won't use or need. I hope my luck is as good as yours! :)
TINA: You'll get it. It just takes some time to figure everything out. I followed for weeks before I gave it a shot. My first week was decent, but nothing like how my trips are now! You know what they say...practice makes perfect. :)
i like how you plan your deals out so nicely. I always do it in my head on the run........
