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.
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. In your comment please feel free to share a link to your blog article showing us how you were able to save shopping at CVS.

CVS: Spent $1 and Got $9 ECB’s Back
This week CVS has a few great deals. I wasn’t able to get to the store until later in the day but was still able to get these two items for $1.09 and received $9 ECB’s to use on my next CVS purchase.
- Revlon Finger Nail Polish – $3.99 with $3.00 ECB’s
- Schick Hydro 5 Razor – $8.79 with $5.00 ECB’s
The total was over $13 with tax before using coupons. Here are the coupons I used on the two items.
- Used $3.00 CVS Coupon from the Kiosk inside the store
- Used $1.00 Revlon Manufacturer Coupon
- Used $2.00 Schick Manufacturer Coupon
- Used $6.58 ECB’s from previous purchase (I had a couple more ECB’s but couldn’t use them because they were worth more than $1 so I will be able to use them on a future purchase along with the $9 I received today). If you use a $2 ECB to pay for $1.09 worth of goods you will not receive the additional $0.91 back so today I decided to pay the $1.09 out of pocket and use my $2 ECB on a future purchase since they weren’t expiring until later in the month.
I received $9 ECB’s back today:
- $3.00 ECB’s for Revlon Purchase
- $5.00 ECB’s for Schick
- $1.00 ECB’s for Green Bag Tag

*The qualifying Beauty purchases include items from the following categories: Cosmetics, Ethnic Hair Care, Fragrances, Hair Accessories, Hair Appliances, Hair Care, Hair Color, Healthy Skin Care, Hosiery, Skin Care and Sun Care. Excludes items from Beauty 360, items from Trial & Travel, gift cards and prescriptions.

- You can sign up online at CVS
I have recently signed up for the Beauty Club after a friend reminded me of its benefits. I have received my 10% off Beauty Shopping pass (it printed out on my receipt), but not any of the bonus ECB’s yet. Since the Beauty Club covers a lot of items in the store that are frequently on sale or have ECB’s I don’t think it will take long before earning a few bonus ECB’s.
