Cold Supply Savings and Rebate

The topic of cold supplies is currently near and dear to my heart. Before we went on vacation I got a horrible sinus cold, and then Miss Pear got it, and we were very grateful for our stash of cold supplies and kleenex.

Our vacation was wonderful, and we were healthy the whole time! Even flying was not a problem with our recovering sinuses!

However, we got home Monday afternoon, and yesterday Miss Pear woke up with a horrible stuffy nose. She caught the cold the baby sitting next to us on the way home had. And it is all in her nose.

I am so grateful for our stash of cold supplies as I did not have to run out and buy anything full price.

But it did make me want to revisit this post from earlier in the week.

CVS had the special on cold supplies, and I shared that this was my shopping:

2 x Advil cold and sinus ($4 each - $2 coupon Crystal links to)
2 x Robitussin ($6 each - $3 coupon Crystal links to)
2 x Crest Prohealth ($3.29 each - $1 in this past weekend's P&G coupon insert)
1 x Dawn ($0.99 each - $0.50 coupon in this past weekend's P&G coupon insert)
1 pair Save the Day glasses selected by Miss Pear - Children's Binoculars - $3.99 on sale for $0.39, and my girl picked them out all on her own, already she can spot a good deal!

Total before coupons, after sales was $27.96.

After coupons $15.46

Minus ECB of $14.95

Pre tax total of $0.51

Tax was $1.01

So I paid $1.52 for what was originally $44.63 before sales, coupons, and ECB's.

Plus I have $10 in ECB's for the Advil and Robitussin, $6.58 in ECB's from the Crest, and $3 in ECB from my third quarter spending.

(The links I refer to are available in the original post by Crystal)

When I went through the coupons for the two weeks we were gone I found a rebate form from the makers of Robitussin and Advil in the 9/23 coupons. If you buy 3 products you can get a $5 rebate! This just made the deal all that much sweeter! (If you buy 2 products you get $2 back)

So if you took advantage of this offer at CVS this week - check your coupon flier!

If you have not yet taken advantage of it yet, might I suggest you do?

As always, Crystal has some great tips over at her site for Frugal Friday!

Update: I have been searching to find the rebate form online, and I am striking out. I know that it was in the 9/23 paper, and that they are selling them on ebay, and maybe coupon clipper has them, but again, you have to pay. I cannot find a free source. Sorry!
