• CVS: Spent $3 and $12 ECB’s Back

    Groceries, Household, Baby, Beauty and Gift Items from CVS

    I went to CVS on my way home from an appointment this week.  The CVS had a bunch of cosmetic items marked down 50% to 75% off.  I was able to get the items pictured above for $3.16 including tax and received $12.00 ECB’s to use on my next CVS purchase.  Today I used some store, manufacturer coupons and ECB’s to help pay for the purchase.

    You can get great deals even without clipping a lot of coupons.  My receipt shows that as of December 6th I have saved over $2,000  at CVS this year (and I don’t even go every week) 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.   All of the items I purchased were on sale or clearance.  Here is what I purchased this week.

    • 1 – Cherry Candy Canes (10 count) for $1.27  (FREE plus overage after ECB’s because the Extra Care Bucks did not print when I checked so I ended up getting $2 ECB’s for this item.)
    • 1 – Ali Deep Brown Brow Definer for $1.19 (on clearance for 75% off)
    • 3 – Lip Smacker Lip Gloss (Clear) for $2.46 ($0.82 each after 75% off clearance, perfect for stocking stuffers)
    • 10 – bottles Confetti Nail Polish for $8.20 ($0.82 each after 75% off clearance, another great stocking stuffer)

    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.
