CVS 4/5/09

I had my best trip to CVS ever! I wish I had known about CVS and ECBs when my son was little; I could have saved a bundle on his diapers (that I always paid full price for!!)

I had two transactions today.

Transaction 1:
2 Packs Huggies @10/ea = $20
1 bag refill Huggies wipes = 5
TOTAL = $25

-5.00/25 purchase coupon
-3.00 Huggies coupon (ran several weeks ago on the Internet)
-3.00 Huggies coupon
-3.00 Huggies coupon
-14.99 ECB

New Total =1.91 (including tax)

Transaction 2:

1 pack Huggies = 10.00
2 Easter baskets @1.98/ea = 3.98
1 Skintimate Shaving Cream = 3.49
1 Accu-Check Aviva monitor = 9.99
1 Cadbury egg (filler) = .50
TOTAL = 27.96

-5.00/25 coupon
-3.00 Huggies coupon
-19.96 ECBs

New Total = .22 (this is for tax only!)

I bought $71.66 worth of products for $2.13!!

I went in with $17.99 ECBs plus I got $2.00 ECBs for my winter spending. I left with $17.46 ECBs for next time.

That is awesome! What's an ECB? And is there a CVS store in Kalamazoo?

Hi. An ECB is an Extra Care Buck. This week, for example, I bought the Easter baskets for $3.98and I earned $3.98 in ECBs for them. They were free. Each week CVS makes some items free after ECBs. If you stack this with a coupon, you can actually make money on some items, which gives a person room to buy other things that aren't on sale or aren't free. (I usually do this to afford baby items like diapers.) Unfortunately, there isn't a CVS in Kalamazoo. (I wish there was!)
