So for the first time I decided to try my hand at CVS. I was prepared...but I did have both kids with me, so it was still a bit of a challenge.
First I really wanted to get the sunglasses that are featured this week. They start as low as $5.99 and if you buy 2 you get $10 ECB. Unfortunately for me the lowest price that was at my CVS was $10.99 per pair. To me it wasn't worth the ECB's, so I passed on the deal.
I did two transactions to make the most of coupons and ECB's...
Here is the break-down:
CVS advertised the Gillette/Old Spice Body Wash ECB deal as limit 1. However, it appears like it is showing up on everyone’s receipts as Limit 2. So here’s how to turn it into a $4 money-maker:
Buy 2 Gillette or Old Spice Body Wash at $4 each, Get $4 ECBs (Limit 2)
Use Buy One Get One Free coupon from the 6/6 P&G insert (or $4/2 coupon from the May P&G insert)
Free plus $4 overage after coupon and ECBs
Spend $10 on John Frieda Shampoo or Conditioner at $5 each, Get $3 ECBs (Limit 1)
Buy 2 and use $3/1 coupon from the 6/6 SmartSource insert & $2/1 from 6/6 SS
$1.00 each after coupons and ECBs
Buy 1 Colgate Pro Clinical at $3.99, Get $2 ECBs (Limit 2)
