Great Deal Alert: Herbal Essences for $0.79 at CVS

CVS is running several great specials this week including Herbal Essences Shampoo.

But before I get to Herbal Essences Shampoo, I wanted to mention their "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" offer on Purex (2 for $6.99). It wasn't the best deal I've ever gotten on Purex, but some of the containers had 20% extra. Adding in my $4 off CVS purchase of $20 or more, I got 120 ounces (76 loads) for $5.59 (compare that to 100 ounces at Publix for $7.69).

Back to the shampoo: Well remember I told you all to get the CVS card because it gives you sale prices and it also triggers valuable coupons too.

Anyway I had a manufacturer’s coupon that took $2 off when I bought 2 bottles of shampoo. Next, CVS is currently running a special on Herbal Essences Shampoo for $2.99 (regularly $4.69), you also get a CVS coupon for $1 Extra Bucks coupon for future purchase. I used existing extra bucks coupons from prior purchases, which will be replaced by the extra bucks coupons from the shampoo that I will use at a later date. The final price for 2 bottles of shampoo with these coupons was $1.99.

But that was before I applied my "$4 off a purchase of $20 or more" CVS coupon that I received for the Coca-Cola products deal I posted last week. My total purchases were just over $20, so my $4 coupon took another 20% off. That took the 2 shampoo bottles down to $1.58, or $0.79 each! (By the way: since my total BEFORE coupons and discounts was over $20.00, I received another "$4 off a purchase of $20 or more" CVS coupon to set up my next deal).

Here are my calculations:





Shampoo and conditioner:2 x $2.99 each =$5.98
Manufacturers coupon:($2.00)
CVS Extra Bucks coupon:($2.00)
Prorated $4 coupon:(0.40)
Subtotal for 2:$1.58

My final cost came out to be a $.79 a bottle!!
