Purchase of the Month!

Lately I have been shopping A LOT, but not for makeup. Since I am moving soon, all my money has gone to purchases for the new place. However, I had been holding on to some coupons for CVS and waiting for a sale, or good deal.

One of my coupons expires tomorrow, so I decided to go into CVS, even though there was a super great sale (there is their HUGE clearance sale going on, but my CVS was completely void of those particular items).

I looked around and Loreal had a special where if you spend $10, you get $3 back. I will get back to this info in a minute.

While I was there, I ran into a woman that was in her 70s and she was asking me some questions. She saw the sign about the beauty rewards, and I felt inspired to share my knowledge with you.

CVS has a beauty rewards program. Every $50 you spend, you get $5 back. Now, CVS is always having deals like spend $10, get $3, $4, and sometimes $7 back! When you use the "bucks" it counts as if you spent that money out of pocket. So, if you had a $20 purchase, and spent $20 in rewards, it would count as $20 toward that $50 mark you have to earn towards your rewards.

You can also sign up for emails to get even more coupons, plus every time you scan your rewards card at a CVS kiosk, it prints coupons tailored for you.

Okay, back to my "deal". I had my $5 reward, a $3 reward and a 25% coupon,

The Loreal "Lumi" foundation is about $13.50. After taxes, I paid about $3.50!

I had been wanting to try this foundation for the longest time, and have heard great reviews. I plan on doing my own once I have tried it out a few times. I am a loyal Revlon foundation user, but this has some potential.

For the best drugstore deals, you can always go to store's websites, and plan out how you want to spend not only your money, but "free" money as well.

I hope this was helpful.
