CVS: Spent $0.18 and Got $9 ECB’s Back
I went to CVS yesterday on the way home from work to use up a couple ECB’s that were about to expire. I was able to get the items for $0.18 including tax and received $9.00 ECB’s to use on my next CVS purchase. The CVS I went to had the items I was looking for in stock. The only coupons I used today were ones from the CVS Kiosk and the ECB’s.
You can get great deals even without clipping a lot of coupons. My receipt shows that as of October 6th I have saved over $1,600 at CVS this year so you can do it without investing a lot of time into it or being an extreme couponer that empties the shelves. Over time the savings add up and I have even taken several weeks off here and there while I have been busy or traveling or when our stock pile is full. Here is what I purchased this week.
- 1 – ThermaCare Lower Back and Hip for $3.79 (had a raincheck from a previous week for $3.79 plus received $4.00 ECB back)
- 1 – Dial Cranberry Bar Soap (3 pack) for $1.88 (received $1.00 ECB’s back)
- 1 – Nature Made Vitamin D (100 count) for $7.99 (received $4.00 ECB’s back)
- 1 – Tums Ultra 1000 (72 count) on sale for $3.99 (used $2.00 kiosk coupon)
Here are the coupons I used on the items.
- Used $3.00 CVS Kiosk Coupon
- Used $2.00 CVS Kiosk Coupon for Tums
- Used $12.48 CVS ECB’s
I received $9.00 ECB’s back today:
- $4.00 ECB’s for ThermaCare Products
- $4.00 ECB’s for NatureMade Products
- $1.00 ECB’s for Dial Products
Today I was able to save $20.99 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.
I would love to hear your CVS shopping story for this week! For those of you who shop regularly at CVS please share how you were able to save this week! Although the weekly ad sales are similar every family and situation is different so you may have found items better suited to your household.
