CVS Scenarios - week of 7/22

There seem to a be few free or near free deals this week at CVS. Some are regular deals and others are with ECBs.

Transaction #1
1 - Stayfree Pads
2 - M&Ms
1 - Crest ProHealth with Scope

-$2 Stayfree mfg coupon
-$1 $1/2 Mars Singles CRT
-$.75 Crest Toothpaste mfg coupon

Total $2.24 OOP. Earn $2 ECB.

Transaction #2
2 - Amp/Starbucks Refreshers

Total $3, pay with $2 ECBs and $1 OOP. Earn $3 ECBs.

Transaction #3
1 - Revlon nail polish

-$1 Revlon mfg coupon

Total $3.99, pay with $3 ECBs and $.99 OOP. Earn $3 ECBs.

Total OOP is $3.23 with $3 ECBs remaining for about $14 in product, a savings of 81%.

Now, there are a few other deals that I am considering, but am not sure about yet.

1 - 24pk Nestle Water

-$.50 Nestle Water CRT

Total $2.49 OOP. Just over 10c per bottle - not a bad deal. We don't normally buy bottled water, but at 10c a bottle, might be a good thing to have on hand in summer. In fact, with $3 ECB remaining, I could add a filler and get it seemingly for free.

There also is the Spend $20 get $5 ECB offer on Nature Made vitamins. I also have a $4/$20 Nature Made CRT. I will have to see what individual coupons I might have and how I can pair them together to get close to $20. I'm thinking that I might be closer to $30, which starts to make waiting on a BOGO sale seem like the better deal. The CRT is still good for several weeks.
