Cvs weekly 5/15-5/23

[LanaJae]

Congrats to your family

What an ambitious girl.

Thanks! This kid could plow down a brick wall with willpower, I don't know where it came from!!

Hey Lana... I so miss you Congrats. It sounds like you have your hands full. If we were there you know all of us here on the CVS thread would be helping you its the thought that counts right
Enjoy it...youll miss it

Oh wouldn't that be great?! I don't even know how I made it through last weekend, we had a big party here on Sunday - the party was the easy part, the cleaning to get ready for it.. not so much!

Wow. Congrats to your dd!! Can I ask - when did she start her AA degree? My oldest (14) is starting CC next week. We homeschool and I'm thinking he may finish his AA before he is 18. What is your dd. doing next year?

Thanks and congrats to your son! She started as a junior, she did something called PSEO (post secondary enrollment option) and she went to college full time for her junior and senior year. About half were homeschool kids, because their grades put them in the top class percentage when mixed in with the public school kids (the requirements are much higher to go full time for junior year so not many public school kids can do it).

She is going to the University of Minnesota next year for psychology, she wants to be a college guidance counselor.

My oldest did the same thing for his junior and senior year and he got his BS last year. We've taken a hit from other parents telling us that they are missing out on the "high school experience" which I find so funny! Both kids got to enjoy all high school sports and activities and they got 2 free years of college, I don't see a problem

Both kids had a hard time adapting to the idea that about half the students in their college classes wouldn't show up to class!

Body wash is the new toothpaste.

Body wash is the new toothpaste.

It really is. I am actually low on toothpaste right now but every store, everywhere seems to have a body wash deal.

What an awesome program!!! I'm even more impressed now! So, your kids will graduate with a BS at 20?! Wow. I'm a little nervous about my d.s.. He's never been in a classroom setting. We had him test at the CC and he tested into pre-calc and out of freshman comp!!! So, the guidance counselor for young students and I talked a lot. He's going to start with college algebra this summer. It includes trig, which he's never had before. But, he's very comfortable with algebra, so we hope he'll do well!!

HI! Does anyone know if the Nivea deal is still working and if it is, how much are the bodywashes? I FINALLY found some Nivea $4 coupons (went recycle bin diving out of town) and I would love to get some cheap (pref. free) body wash. Otherwise, where else can I get the bodywash very very cheap?

I think I will stock up on Dawn this week...once upon a time I had so much Dawn I didn't know what to do with it. Then, my sister, my mom, my MIL figured out I had so much Dawn. Now, I'm down to my last Dawn

Thanks!

If you don't end up doing the Nivea deal at CVS (and I'm not sure how much the body wash is there) I think the body wash is $3.99 at Walmart making it a freebie there.

The Nivea womens is $5.99 and the Nivea Mens is $4.99. Last week I did 3 BW (2 women's 1 Mens to hit the $15) gave them two $4 Nivea Womens coupons, a $3 Nivea Mens coupon, CVS q for $2 off 2 Body Wash and $4 ECB and my total was a big fat $0 and I got back $5 in ECB. So you can definitely do this one cheap. For me it was a $1 MM.

ETA - since most CVS cashiers are not too discriminating you can probably push thru the $4 coupons on the $4.99 Mens BW but then you might not get the ECB as your total will be $14.97 - I've read some reports where they round up.

Thanks so much to both of you. I'm going to try it at CVS this week.

It's $3.99 at Target too.

My son could have done it in two years, but he messed up a semester by thinking he could get through university chemistry by being clever, and that didn't work out LOL

Your son will do fine, a lot of people will say things like younger kids can't handle the maturity level that soon, but that is so not true - younger kids have study habits and aren't dealing with the instant freedom shock, so they do well and it prepares them for life as we all don't work with people our same age or with the same insights - there's a lot more participation in some college classes and that might be hard, but it will build confidence and being around semi-adults is better as they will be encouraging rather than daunting.

**
On the Nivea deal - it's 5 times and the extra bucks are printing at $14.64 in most stores - that changed from the week that the body wash was on sale $4.88 each for men's and women's. You can combine the BOGO coupons from the May and June All You magazines with the $4 and $3 coupons and the $1 coupons for the lip stuff.

I maxed out Nivea on 2 cards.

Thanks! My d.s. gets along better with adults anyway, so I think this will work well. (He has Aspergers.)

We can do the Nivea deal 5 times? How did I miss that? Off to get the coupons out of June's All You and I'm off to CVS again!! Oh - and I just got another $5/$30. Are you suddenly getting a ton of these coupons? Maybe it's because I took a few weeks off?

I need to check my email for a $5/30, I got one last week, but the store was handing out $3/15 so that worked out better.

I think Nivea ends on 5-29, but I can't remember for sure.

Your son will do great, don't worry - I think college will be a great fit for him, I hope he loves his summer session!

You mean I missed a free handout again? I was just at Mahtomedi this morning and no $3/15's being handed out there. Tell me more!

I think it's just the new Woodbury store and it has something to do with the pharmacy because I got one when I got prescriptions and then when I went up front, Rob gave me one after I checked out - ask them if they still have them as the expiration date wasn't until the end of July and each one had a unique code on it so they were one-time use, but not one-time for each card. Just go back to the pharmacy and ask if they still have any of the $3 off $15 coupons left.

I was just there a couple days ago to get two prescriptions filled and Craig (I think that's his name?) didn't offer one to me! I'm going to have to speak to that man!!!! Argh!!!! (See me pouting?! )

I see you (sorry ), but they might have been out, just ask the next time you are there, it might have been a weekend thing and maybe they had to send back the leftovers - it's similar to the grand opening-type coupons.

 

[momtosam]

I can't believe I got a 5/30 email last night. I already did my deals this week. I just don't think I have anything to pull out of my sleeve by tomorrow. I have so much darn Nivea, it's not worth my energy to go get more! And I used up my last three Covergirl BOGOs earlier this week.
