Okay.. Using CVS bucks is like playing monoply! I swear. And where you scan your card is like an atm machine. It gives you play money! So here is was my scenario that I start with:
Transaction 1:
Right Guard Sport or Total Defense Deodrant 2.99 (Limit 2)
-$3/2 IP
Pay $2.98 for 2 and Get $4 ECBs ($2 ECB for each one)
Well… my store had them for 2.49 each… so that means I paid $2.00 .. I had 2.50 ECB to start with.. So I got them for free. (I actually wasted 50 of my ECBS… =( )
ECB Total: $4
Transaction 2:
It was going to be Schick Hyrdro 3 or 5… but they were out at 2 CVS and I wasn’t running around any more… so I moved on.
Crest ProHealth Toothpaste (4 oz) or Rinse (8.4 oz) $3.50 (Limit 2)
-$.75/1
Pay 2.75, get $3.50 ECBs
Stayfree 24-count maxi pads $3.99
-$2/1
Pay $1.99, Get 2 ECBs
Carefree Body Shape Pads $1.00
-$1/1
Pay: Free
Bayer Low Dose (32 count) $1.00
-$1/1
Pay: Free
Total Out of Pocket: $.75 + tax (total came to 4.74 + tax, I used my 4 ECBs from previous transaction.)
Left over ECBS: $5.50
Transaction 3:
Crest ProHealth Toothpaste (4 oz) or Rinse (8.4 oz) $3.50 (Limit 2)
-$.75/1
Pay 2.75, get $3.50 ECBs
U by Kotex Tampons $4.99 (Limit 1)
-$1/1 IP
-$1/1 CVS printable
Pay $2.99, Get $4.99 ECBs
Total: Total Out of Pocket was $.24 + tax (total came to $5.74, and I used my $5.50 CVS Bucks from previous transaction)
Left over ECB Bucks: $8.99 !!!!!
Awesome job! That almost makes me wanna go CVS’ing – I’m so impressed they had the items this late in the week! (It always seems like the best deals are gone by Sunday night). FABULOUS!!!
Like I said, they didn’t have the razor I wanted to add to the list.. but that is okay.. cannot have everything! And yes, I have been rather bummed when I go shopping to see that the shelves have been cleaned out. =/ But just means I didn’t need it that bad I suppose!
