It has been a while since I made a trip to CVS. It is funny, I pass by one on a near daily basis, but finding the time to stop is difficult. I am almost out of my daily vitamin and the stars aligned - it's on sale and there was a coupon in the paper - must mean I should go to CVS this week.
Transaction #1
3 - Dawn Dish Soaps
Total $3 OOP, earn $1 ECB. I was really surprised that I didn't have any coupons for this. The ones that were still in my organizer had all expired on 8/31.
Transaction #2
2 - Special K cereals
-$1 Kelloggs Cereal IP (coupons.com or join MyPoints and earn points when you print and redeem coupons)
-$1 Kelloggs Cereal IP
Pay with $1 ECB and $2 OOP. Earn $1 ECB.
Transaction #3
1 - Alive Vitamins
-$2 Alive Mfg coupon
Pay with $1 ECB and $6.21 OOP.
For the day, the total OOP is $11.21, which is less than the regular shelf price for the vitamins.

I shop at CVS but never use the ecb's. I guess I have been throwing money out the window,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up about these. I love to shop at CVS but have a hard time figuring out the match-ups as you have done here. I love the ECBs that I earn and now that I learned they will take their coupons even if they have expired it helps a lot!
