CVS Scenarios - week of 8/2

Wow! What a week at CVS. Not only are there a number of free school supplies, but there are many other things that are cheap or free after coupons and ECBs. Plus, if you were able to pick up one of the Pharmacy coupon booklets, you could use the $4/$20 to make some of the deals even better.

I picked a copuon booklet up yesterday and was impressed with the 'screening' the pharmacist did before giving me the booklet. Since I wasn't filling a prescription, she went to the computer to confirm that I used the CVS pharmacy for prescriptions. Then, she explained how the Autorefill system works. I asked if it worked for any prescription that was written with refills and she explained it only worked with maintenance drugs. She asked if I had any, I told her not at this time.

Here are some proposed scenarios for this week:

Transaction #1
2 - Stayfree 24-48ct
1 - Softsoap Nutri Serums
1 - Blink Tears

-$4 $4/$20 from Pharmacy coupon booklet
-$5 BOGO Stayfree Mfg coupon
-$2 Softsoap IP
-$1.50 Blink Tears IP

Total $12.50 OOP. Earn $5, $4, and $7.99 ECBs ($16.99 total).

Transaction #2
2 - Caliber Glue Sticks
2 - Caliber Notebooks
2 - Caliber 10ct Pencils
2 - Caliber Protractor/Compass
2 - Caliber Scissors
2 - Caliber Rulers
1 - Caliber Bookcover

Total $16.89. Pay with $16.99 ECBs from Transaction #1 adjusted down to $16.89. Earn $1.98, $1.98, $1.98, $3, $4.98, $1.98, and $.99 ECBs ($16.89 total).

Transaction #3
4 - Pepsi Product 12pk
2 - Velveeta Shells and Cheese

-$1.50 $1.50/2 Velveeta IP

Total $17.48. Pay with $16.89 in ECBs and $.59 OOP. Earn $4, $3, and $.98 ECBs ($7.98 total).

For the day, total OOP would be $11.07 and you will have $7.98 left in ECBs. Not bad - all of this for a net cost of $3.09.
