HUGE CVS Money Making Haul!!  Check This Out!!!

Wow!  This had to be my BEST shopping trip ever at ANY store!  I did end up purchasing items that I did not intend to, but because of the $50.00 ECB I needed to increase my final price on the first transaction.  All those items though will be donated which is the best part!

I mentioned the Money Making Paypal Master Card deal earlier in a FB post!  I do believe this may be a regional deal so look for the signs at your store or at the online ad.  This deal was not in my ad that I received in my newspaper, but it was at my store here in Hampton.

Transaction #1:

(1) Paypal Master Card $150.00 value
Add $150.00 to card +  $4.95
Total: $154.95
Receive $50.00 ECB ($45.05 Money Maker!)

***The Master Card can be used anywhere!  Use it to pay bills, do your Christmas shopping, purchase gift cards or whatever you please!  A $4.95 fee will be charged in 48 hours and then once monthly after that so make sure to use this fast so you can avoid the fees.

Transaction #2:  I purchased everything that did not have coupons in this transaction in order to keep the final total higher in order to use the $50 Ecb, thus keeping the total of transactions lower.

        Thank Melissa, I saw this list but I don’t see the Q for the Venus razor. Was that something special?

          That was a $4.00 coupon that I happen to have from another package of Venus razors.

      I’m up here in Hampton. I was at the Mercury Blvd and Woodland Store. These cards won’t be by the registers. There is a HUGE display with all different gift cards at the end of one of the aisles. You’ll find them there. That’s also where the little yellow tag was showing the deal. I found my display by the hair care aisle.

      I found the card at CVS on Lafayette in Norfolk. There were a few left this afternoon around 4.
