Another visit to my favorite store, another tidbit to share with my frugal friends!
I took the girls with me today, since my summer schedule is a bit off kilter. Normally, I hit CVS solo since it requires extra brain cells.
Actually, thanks to my toddler, I learned something new today! Sara has discovered the new “magic coupon machine” and begs to swipe my card and retrieve the gold… I mean coupons. Out pops 2.
Well, of course, Leah has to get in on the action too. I agreed to let her swipe my card once more, just to prevent a toddler melt down (yeah, great parenting, huh?) Well, moments later, out pops 3 more coupons!
What a discovery! On the third swipe, we see a “No more coupons available, check back tomorrow” message. Well that works for me! Apparently you can get new coupons every day from this nifty little gold mine.
Here is what I got today:
$3/$10 CVS Brand Purchase
$1/2 Gold Emblem Candy (actually a CVS Brand)
$1/3 CVS Brand Toothbrushes
$2.50 off any Pain Reliever Purchase of $10
$1 on any Hand or Body Lotion
And on Monday:
$3 off any Revlon cosmetic (already used it)
$5 off any Sun Effects Sun Care
$1 off any Jergens Natural Glow
$3 on Mag-Ox (what the heck is Mag-Ox??)
I can definitely put a few of these to good use. Remember, you can always use a manufacturer and a CVS store coupon together on one item.
Do you have a “magic coupon machine” in your CVS?

I got an Mag-Ox coupon too and had to ask the pharmacist what it was. It’s Magnesium Oxide, in the vitamin isle.
Alyssa says
Oh, thanks! I never would have figured that out!

I’m still trying to figure out the method of saving $ at CVS and had no idea about the magic coupon machine. I’ll keep an eye out for it the next time I’m there.
Diana says
Way ahead of you on that. I knew something you didn’t. Ha Ha.

Alyssa,
Thanks for visiting my site! I enjoy getting great deals at CVS and Walgreen’s, too. It’s all I can do to wait for the new ads to come out each week.
You’ve got a fun, informative site. Keep it up!
