I am really enjoying the CVS game now. It took me a while to get the idea, but now I'm getting brand names for less than I spent on store brands!
Today I went and got a tube of Colgate toothpaste. They were $2.99 with an extra care buck rebate of $2.00, and I had a $1.00 off coupon. I handed the cashier $1.99, she handed me back the toothpaste and $2.00 ECBs.
Next I got their "free after ECB" special for the week - a bottle of Dove for Men body wash. It cost $5.49, they give $5.49 in ECBs - and I had a $1.25 off coupon. I gave the cashier my $2.00 ECB, my $1.25 coupon, and $2.25 in cash. Then I used the $5.49 ECB coupon to buy another bottle of Dove for Men and got another $5.49 ECB back.
So far, $4.25 out of pocket for $14 in merchandise. But I wasn't done! We needed shampoo and conditioner. There were no serious ECB deals to be had, so I was about to buy a few bottles of VO5. Then I found a double pack of Pert Plus for $5, with an ECB reward of $1.00. I popped that and an extra bottle of VO5 conditioner an a bag of candy marshmallows (Catie was with me) in my basket and checked out for the last time. It cost me another $1.48 out of pocket with my $5.49 ECB.
I now have two bottles of Pert Plus, a bottle of conditioner, two bottles of mens' body wash, a tube of toothpaste, and a bag of goodies for less than $6 out of my pocket, and I still have $1 ECB left!
