CVS: Spent $14 and Got $5 ECB’s Back (Saved Over 90%)

I made a quick trip to CVS late last week on the way home from a couple meetings.  The trip was primary to use up a couple ECB’s that were about to expire and see if they had anything on clearance that we could use.  I was able to get the items for $14.20 including tax and received $5.00 ECB’s to use on my next CVS purchase.   The CVS I went to had items marked down to 75% to 90% on clearance so I was able to get the girls new sunglasses, gifts, chew toys for Skipper, and several items for Operation Christmas Child boxes.  Here is what I purchased this week.

• 4 – Lint Rollers (50 count) on clearance for $0.25 each (total of $1.00)
• 4 – Foam Puzzles on clearance (ABC’s, 123’s and Measurements) for $0.25 each (total of $1.00)
• 2 – Sets of Laundry Dryer Balls (2 per set) on clearance $0.75 each (total of $1.50)
• 2 – Dog Tennis Ball Toys (set of 2) on clearance for $0.25 each (total of $0.50)
• 18 – Sunglasses on clearance (90% clearance) for $0.59 to $0.89 each
• 2 – Dog Rope Toys on clearance for $0.25 each (total of $0.50)
• 2 – Model Magic Presto Balls on clearance for $1.49 each (total of $2.98)
• 2 – Ice Cream Stamps with Bubble Gum on clearance for $0.25 each (total of $0.50)
• 2 – Necco Candy Dot Strips on clearance for $0.25 each (total of $0.50)
• 1 – Revlon Top Speed Fingernail Polish $4.99 with $3.00 ECB’s back

Here are the coupons I used on the items.

• Used $2.00 CVS Kiosk Coupon
• Used $5.00 CVS ECB’s

I received $5.00 ECB’s back today:

• $2.00 ECB’s for Summer Spending
• $3.00 ECB’s for Revlon Products

Today I was able to save $162.59 at CVS by purchasing these items and using coupons (over 90% savings).

When you shop the CVS sales regularly and have ECB’s that you can roll over toward future purchases the bonus ECB’s start adding up (Green Bag Tags and Beauty Club).  As you can see from my shopping trip today you don’t have to purchase a lot to save money when shopping at CVS.  Plus you can use the additional ECB’s you receive towards your next purchase.  You can pick and chose what is best for your family.
