CVS Scenarios - week of 9/28

The ECB deals seem pretty light this week. Only three in my circular. Of course, if you haven't done them yet, this is the last week to take advantage of the September deals. Although there are some other deals that don't seem too bad.

Scenario #1
$5 CVS Challenge
Transaction #1

1 - Covergirl Clean Liquid Makeup

- $1 Covergirl Mfg coupon

$4.49 OOP, earn $5.49 ECBs.

Transaction #2

2 - Colgate Toothpaste
1 - SoftSoap
3 - Campbell's Soup
1 - Dawn
1 - V05 Shampoo

- $1 Colgate mfg coupon
- $1.50 IP Colgate mfg coupon (click here)
- $.35 Softsoap Mfg coupon
- $.50 Dawn Mfg Coupon

$5.63 total. Pay with $5.49 ECB from first deal and $.14 OOP. Earn $2. ECBs.

The total for the two transactions is $4.63 and you have $2 ECBs to carry forward, or use them to pick up 4 more V05 Shampoo/Conditioner.

Scenario #2
Here is an alternate scenario that uses one of the September Monthly deals on Arnicare Homeopathic Pain Relief Gel, there is a $2 coupon here.

Transaction #1

1 - Covergirl Clean Liquid Makeup

- $1 Covergirl Mfg coupon

$4.49 OOP, earn $5.49 ECBs. (Anyone know if you can use the BOGO coupon from the October Brandsaver in addition to the $1 coupon? I might opt to use the BOGO instead, if I can't use both. It would mean $1 more OOP, but all in all a bigger deal.)

Transaction #2

1 - Arnicare Homeopathic Pain Relief Gel

-$2 coupon

$6.99. Pay with $5.49 ECB from transaction #1 and $1.50 OOP. Earn $8 ECBs.

Transaction #3
2 - Colgate Toothpaste
1 - SoftSoap
3 - Campbell's Soup
1 - Dawn
4 - V05 Shampoo/Shampoo
1 - Folger's Decaf Coffee

- $1 Colgate mfg coupon
- $1.50 IP Colgate mfg coupon (click here)
- $.35 Softsoap Mfg coupon
- $.50 Dawn Mfg coupon
- $.50 Folger's Mfg coupon

$8.62 total. Pay with $8.00 ECB from second transaction and $.62 OOP. Earn $2 ECBs.

You can keep the ECBs for next week or pick up two more cans of soup and two more V05 Shampoo/Conditioner for $0 OOP. Total OOP for these transactions is $6.61. Not bad for everything you get.
