My CVS deals

I am continuing on my quest to be a CVS Superstar. Check out more CVS Superstars at The "Cents"ible Sawyer.

Here are my CVS deals for the week:



CVS Transaction #1

2 Mennen Speed Stick deoderant (B1G1)
1 CVS Bandages
4 Bumblebee Tuna
1 CVS eye makeup remover
2 Dawn dishsoap

Total Retail value: $14.91 (fortunately they still let me use the $3 off $15 coupon even though my total was slightly under)
Tax: $0
Manufacturer Coupons: $0.50
CVS Coupon: $5.00
ECB used: $9.38

Total OOP (out of pocket): $0.03

1 Charmin toilet paper
1 CVS eye makeup remover

I think I did pretty well. I got $17.99 in ECBs and only spent $13.56 out of pocket so I am ahead $4.43 this week! Not too bad. We really needed some toilet paper so it was wonderful to stock up and get some ECBs!

* Extra Care Bucks (ECB) are coupons that print at the end of a receipt. They are like gift certificates that you can use toward your next purchase. CVS will have certain advertised items that earn you ECBs.
