High Value Peanut Butter Coupon

Peanut Butter & Company has released a Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon on their Facebook page. This appears to be a pretty popular product. It has high ratings on Amazon, as well as various blogs.

The 10 flavors that they offer are: Smooth Operator, Crunch Time, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl, The Heat is On, White Chocolate Wonderful, Dark Chocolate Dreams, The Bee's Knees, Mighty Maple, Old Fashioned Smooth, and Old Fashioned Crunchy.

Just naming those flavors has my stomach growling!

From their website: "Peanut Butter & Co.'s line of all-natural peanut butter contains no hydrogenated oils, no cholesterol, no trans-fats and, no high fructose corn syrup. Our flavors are gluten-free, vegan (except for The Bee's Knees which is vegetarian), and certified kosher. Lastly, but just as importantly, we only use USA-grown peanuts in our peanut butter."

You can find more information about Peanut Butter & Company on their website here.

CVS Advisor Panel

Update: I took another survey on May 13 and got a $10 extracare bucks! The survey was just as the simple as the first one I took. I'm loving being a member of this panel!

If you have some extra time on your hands, you might be interested in signing up to be a member of the CVS Advisor Panel. You will have the opportunity to take surveys and give your input about the CVS stores, websites, products, etc. After qualifying for and completing each survey, you will earn extracare bucks (CVS money to use in store to purchase items).

I signed up in March and took my first survey at the beginning of March! It was relatively easy and interesting to complete. It didn't take much time. Immediately after completing the survey, I received a $5 ecb! I would definitely recommend signing up for this panel because those ecbs will make the CVS deals even better!

Thanks, CenstableShoppin!

3/31-4/6: Great Week to Shop at CVS

This would be a great time to jump on the bandwagon for shopping at CVS with coupons. There are some really great deals! If you haven't already gotten the newspaper that came out on March 31, you should still be able to get them in stores. That newspaper only had one insert, but you can use those coupons to pick up free or cheap toothbrushes, mouthwash, etc at CVS this week. You can also pick up inexpensive chocolate (which is okay since you're getting cheap mouth products, right?!) Remember, Dollar Tree sells newspapers for only $1.00!

If you are new to shopping at CVS, you can go here to learn about the basics.

How to Shop at CVS

CVS is by far my favorite store to shop when buying personal care products. You can often pick up items for free or really really cheap! Toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, body wash, shampoo, pads, vitamins...there's so much you can get by paying very little.

Sign up for an Extracare card in store

• You can link your phone number to your card if you don't want to carry it around with you.
• Allows you to buy items at the sale price offered at the store
• Register your card at cvs.com so that you can receive coupons by email
  • Often these coupons are for 20% off your purchase or $4 off $20, etc 
• Card keeps track of purchases needed in order to receive ecbs
• You'll receive 2% back on all of your purchases (which will print out as an ecb at the end of every quarter/3 months)

Extracare Bucks

• Also called extrabucks rewards (abbreviated as ecb) are what make CVS so wonderful. 
• Ecbs are store coupons that print out at the bottom of your receipt that you can use to purchase items in the store. 
• Cannot be used to purchase prescriptions, alcohol, gift cards, lottery, money order, postage stamps, pre-paid cards, and tobacco products. Everything else is pretty much fair game!
• How do you know if you'll receive an ecb by purchasing a product? Usually it will say so in the ad or you can see if it's tagged in your store.
• Deals which offer ecbs have limits to allow others the opportunity to purchase the same products
• Here's an example: If you purchase one Colgate toothpaste at $2.99, you will receive a $2.00 ecb. Notice the small print at the bottom. It limits you to doing this deal twice. If you were to buy a third toothpaste, you wouldn't receive a third $2.00 ecb.

• There are some times when you have to spend a certain amount before you receive an ec. Example: In the picture below, you have to spend $10 BEFORE using any coupons to get the $5 ecb. Even if your total is $5 after using coupons, you will still get that $5 ecb as long as your total was $10 before the coupons. You don't have to make all of your purchases on one day, either, because your card will keep track of how much you've spent towards the deal.

• Ecbs can roll! This means that you can use ecbs to buy other products that also produce ecbs. For example, you can use the $2.00 you earn from buying the Colgate toothpaste (above picture) to pay for the Crest toothpaste. 
• Can't get change back from ecbs. If you use your $2.00 ecb to pay for an item that cost $0.99, your $2.00 ecb will be adjusted down to $0.99. You will lose $1.01. 

CVS Coupon Machine

• Inside of each store is a coupon machine that prints out store coupons when you scan your card
• After your first batch of coupons print out, scan your card again to get more coupons from the machine

Rainchecks 

• If you go into the store and find that the $2.99 Colgate toothpaste has run out of stock, you can ask the store associate to write a raincheck for you. 
• The associate would write the sale price of the item along with the amount of ecbs you would receive with it. When the product is back in stock, you can simply take your raincheck to the store and buy the product at the price listed on your raincheck. If your purchase qualifies for ecbs, the associate will force print the ecb at the register for you.
• CVS rainchecks have no expiration date which means that you can use it whenever you're ready!

CVS Beauty Club

• Head over here to sign up
• For every $50.00 you spend (before coupons), you will earn a $5.00 ecb.
• You'll receive a $3.00 ecb on your birthday.
• Qualifying Beauty purchases include: Cosmetics, Ethnic Hair Care, Fragrances, Hair Accessories, Hair Appliances, Hair Care, Hair Color, Hosiery, Healthy Skin Care and Skin Care.

You can find the CVS coupon policy here. I recommend printing it out and taking it with you to the store whenever you shop.

Get FREE Products from Betty Crocker

Betty Crocker often has great promotions for their members. Just the other day, I received a free pouch of Sugar Cookie mix. It's absolutely FREE to sign up! All you have to do is go here and go through the steps to fill out your information.

Another great thing about the site is that you can print coupons for even more savings!

Don't wait to sign up. When they have the promotions for free samples (like the sugar cookies), you have to be a member prior to the day of each promotion.
