CVS's Generous BOGO Policy

CVS allows you to use 2 coupons on BOGO deals – one for each item, even though one is already free. Not all companies allow that (e.g. Harris Teeter does not), so it’s good to know the policy before you go.

In this transaction, I used 2 $4/1 MQs (manufacturer’s coupons) on the BOGO razors, which were on sale for $8.79. That means I got 2 packages of razors for 79 cents total (reg. price would have been $17.58).

This is excellent for two reasons: 1) you get nice razors almost for free, and 2) it increases your total (without using ECBs), which is good if you’re planning to use a $/$$ offer (I had a $5/$25 CRT). BOGO deals are great if you have enough coupons because they have no offer limit, while ECB deals do.

NOTE: Schick Quattro razor refills will be BOGO for the week of September 21 – 27, so those same coupons may be good again, depending on the starting price.

On this trip, I bought two packages of razors, 2 tubes of deodorant and 1 bottle of contact solution for 16 cents total. Sorry there’s no pic, I already delivered some of it to my distribution avenue.

The breakdown:

• 2 Schick Quattro women’s disposable razors (3 ct) @ $8.79 (on sale + BOGO)
• 1 Complete Moisture Plus contact solution @ $10.49
• 1 Right Guard deodorant @ $2.99 (reg. $4.49)
• 1 Soft & Dri deodorant @ $2.99 (reg. $4.49)

Subtotal: $25.26 (after subtracting the $8.79 for the free razor pack)

I paid with:

Manufacturer coupons: (total = $11.75)

• 2 $4/1 Schick Quattro
• 1 $2/1 Complete contact solution
• 1 $1/1 Right Guard
• 1 $.75/1 Soft & Dri

CVS coupons:

• 1 $5/$25 CRT (cash register tape)

ECBs: $9

Total OOP: $.16

Total saved: $37.84

Got back $6 ECBs

• 2 deodorants @ 2 ECBs each = 4 ECBs
• 1 Complete contact solution = 2 ECBs

In summary, I spent $0.16 OOP and $9 in ECBS to get $37.05 worth of products and $6 ECBs.
