I am so excited about the upcoming sale at CVS. Please remember that the sale I'm referring to in this post does not begin until Sunday, March 21st. Pampers diapers will be VERY cheap this week. I've put together some scenarios that will help you if you are new to CVS and couponing. Please note that ECBs are Extra Care Bucks that you get for buying certain items in the store. They print out at the bottom of your receipt, and you can use them on your next purchase. All of the ECB deals are listed in the ad. Ok, so here is what I will be doing on Sunday:
Transaction #1:
Buy:
1 Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste for $3.99 (Get $3.99 in ECBs back at the end of transaction)
Use:
$1 off Colgate from March 7th newspaper insert
Total Due: $2.99 + tax
Get back $3.99 in ECBs
Transaction #2:
Buy:
1 Pampers Diapers Jumbo Pack for $8.97 (Get $3 in ECBs back)
Use:
$2 off Pampers Diapers from March 14th newspaper
$3.99 ECBs (that I got from transaction #1)
Total Due: $2.98
Get back $3 in ECBs
Transaction #3:
Buy:
1 Pampers Diapers Jumbo Pack for $8.97 (Get $3 in ECBs back)
Use:
$2 off Pampers Diapers from March 14th newspaper
$3 ECBs (that I got from transaction #2)
Total Due: $3.97
Get back $3 in ECBs
Transaction #4:
Buy:
1 Crest Pro Health Rinse at $3.99 (Get $2 ECBs back)
2 Dawn Dish Soap at 97 cents per bottle
Use:
$2 off Crest Pro Health Rinse from February 7th newspaper insert
TWO 25 cents off Dawn Dish Soap
$3 in ECBs (from transaction #3)
Total Due: 43 cents!!!!!
So this means I got 1 tube of toothpaste, 2 packs of diapers, 1 bottle of mouthwash, and 2 bottles of dish soap for $10.37. That's a deal!!! My husband and I both have a card, so I'll actually do this twice. I always buy at least 2 newspapers, and sometimes I buy 4. This gives me plenty of coupons for times like this when I need several. Let me know if you have success with this...I can't wait until Sunday!!!
