WooHoo! I have some great news for all you CVS shoppers! The Gillette cartridges/Shave Gel Extra Buck deal that I highlighted in the weekly deals is even sweeter than I thought! You see, the trial size Gillette Fusion hydra shave gel is actually working for the ECB deal, which means better than FREE shave gel! Here’s how…

*Buy Trial size Gillette Fusion Hydra Shave Gel 2.5 oz $2.27
Use the $1/1 coupon found in the 6/5 PG
Pay $1.27
Get back a $2 Ecb
Final cost FREE + a $0.73 moneymaker!

(Thanks, Saving My Cent!)


Also, Tiffany over at Pennies & Sense emailed the following regarding CVS clearance she found…

Zhu Zhu Pets AND ALL Accessories are on clearance for just $2 each! All of my items were marked at regular price on the shelves, but rang up 5 for $10, so just $2 each! I bought only accessories, no hamsters. I’m attaching a picture of my transaction, which included a 12-pk Pepsi. After my -$4/20 e-mail coupon and a $10 ecb I already had, I paid just $5.58 and saved $139.57!

    Speaking of X/XX coupons… was anyone else unable to print the $5/25 that was emailed to us? It said I had the option of sending it to my card, but I wanted to print it. I got an error when I tried though.

    • jen

      I sent it to my card and it printed when I scanned my card at the red machine 🙂

  2. Lori

    I saw Thermacare singles on clearance for.82 cents today. Didn’t we have a Q for those? I couldnt find one!

    • Alison

      Lori, I have $1 off 2 ct or higher and $4 off wyb 2 (Advil, Advil PM or ThermaCare) excludes trial sizes. Not a bad price for a single though.

    Is there an ECB limit on these?

    • Melissa

      The Gillette deal is Limit 1.

      I did this today, was excited when I saw the sales tag advertising the ecb!! They are $2.19 at my store. The full size cans of the Fusion HydroGel were $3.39, so only .39 combining the $1/1 coupon & ECB.

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        I just did this deal and it allowed me to do the deal twice. So, I’m pretty sure the deal limit is 2 🙂

        • Shay

          Are you sure this is valid on trial size? My ad states shave gel 7 oz or cream 9 oz excluding Foamy. I’m going to CVS tomorrow IF it works on trial size. Please reply if you can!!! TIA.

          • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

            I just got back and my cvs had signs posted under the trial size ones saying you’d get back a 2ECB. It definitely works!!

          • Melissa

            YES! I got my $2 ecb buying the little can. My store had sales tag underneath them stating –
            $2.19
            Get $2 extra bucks
            Its like paying $.19!

            • Shay

              Thank you Cristal and Melissa. I’m definitely going to CVS tomorrow. Wish me luck 🙂

        • Melissa

          Not for me, if says
          Gillette Buy 1 Get $2 *Offer Limit Reached

    The Zhu Zhu deal is actually listed in the ad. Great deal! I am planning to pick up a few for my boys 🙂

    • Sharon H

      Amanda –
      I saw the Zhu Zhu pet Hamsters on clearance at my Target for $1.25 each this past week, they had tons, and the accessories were also on clearance – all at 75%off. I have seen them at more than one Target.

  5. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    on a side note does anyone remember when these “zhu zhu’s” were the IT toy!?
    My aunt paid $100 for 2 zhu zhu’s (yes I know nuts) -now the stores cant even get rid of them!!!

    • Emily

      That’s funny…my kids still like them, so I’ll probably grab some. 🙂

  6. Robin

    I was impressed with this zhu zhu pet sale. They had a sign up in my CVS for 5 for $10 that was next to the zhu zhu items that were all $10 or less but I discovered that the sets marked $23.99 were also $2 each. I felt like I was stealing! I got 7 different zhu zhu items for my little girl for Santa to bring this year and the gillete shaving cream for a total of $12.00. I was having a coupon “high” for a moment,lol.

  7. JenFish19

    In the metro Detroit area the zhu zhu sets were marked $24.99 and rang up at $2.00. Even the cashier was impressed! I got 5 “rooms” for $10. Merry Christmas kids!

  8. Melissa

    This amazes me….. a year and a 1/2 ago people were paying $55.00 a Zhu Zhu pet on e-bay…. now they can not even give the things away!

  9. Elaine

    Thanks for the head up on Shaving cream. I bought 2 with 2 different cards, had my $1. off coupon and recieved my $2 back. I love when we get money back to shop.
    While I was there the girl that worked there was stocking up on them for her hampster. She said they are the right size.

    Thanks for all the hard work you put into us all saving tons of money.

    • Michelle

      Awww, for a real hamster? Cute!

  10. Michelle

    Thanks, Collin! The zhu zhus will be perfect for some cheap birthday presents for my little boy. I was thinking about skipping CVS this week, but now I want to go for the hamster toys and the free shaving cream 🙂 I might just get the full sized can if it is only .39!

  11. Maureen Carlson

    The target in Lombard Il had the ZhuZhu Kung Zhu pets for $1.73 I had my son and husband with and could not get away to grab a few for Christmas but will go back Tomorrow

  12. Zung

    Our Zhu Zhu pets were advertised. Got 5 sets ($24.99 ea originally) for $10. Good gifts for kids’ classmates. Noticed on Amazon the same sets were clearanced there as well (all sent from Target). Not quite as cheap, but almost. So…if you miss them at your CVS check Target:)

  13. rosanne

    worked fine …. $2.49 at my CVS but still a moneymaker after coupon and ECB. thanks!

  14. Jennifer S

    Anyone else getting alot of $/$$ coupons lately? I have gotten five $3/15 on my card, and four $5/25 on my husband’s card from the coupon machine just in the last 2 weeks! I haven’t gotten email or machine coupons in months! My friends are tired of me texting them saying guess what I got today at CVS. LOL!

    • Tina in east Texas

      Yes, and for a while it seemed they were always coming on Thursdays… I started postponing my CVS shopping till Thursday to see if there was a coupon first! Last week it came on Wednesday!

      • Jennifer S

        I went daily last week and scanned all cards, just to see if I got more coupons. It was every 2-3 days I would get another one. So crazy! I’m loving it!

    • angie

      Me and my mom have been real lucky too. She has gotton 10/50 twice in the past 2wks and when I scanned my card Sumday it popped out 5 ECB. I love CVS Where else can go in and they just give you five bucks

  15. Ellen H

    I am so excited for the Zhu Zhu deal! Sending my husband after work to hopefully get some good accessories for a nice big house! Bought a few of the Kung Zhu hamsters at Target this weekend for $1.25 and this will be perfect to go along with them! They were going to just be a stocking stuffer, but now I am picturing a big Santa gift for cheap!!! Thanks for posting this seeing I somehow missed it in the ad!

  16. Kristin

    I was able to score 15 different ZhuZhu items, 2 Pantene hairsprays, 1 toothbrush & 1 tube of toothpaste for $22.60 out of pocket today, but earned another $5 in ECB to use next time. I bought the ZhuZhus for my daughter & my best friend’s daughters for Christmas. I am going to hit another CVS tonight to get some Toys For Tots gifts. Thanks Colin!!!

  17. trailmama
