FOR THE NEWBIES:
ECB
=Extra Care Bucks. ECB’s are like a customer appreciation program that
CVS has where they “Reward” their customers for shopping at their stores
and purchasing certain products. ECB’s are like cash in their
stores. Unlike Walgreens where the reward is attached to a product, ECBs
are not connected to any specific product, so you could actually
purchase one product that produces an ECB and turn around and purchase
the same product again(as long as you haven’t reached your limit on that
item)and get another ECB!! Its a little bit hard to grasp until you
have used them and it comes together. You will love CVS as much as me
before you know it!!

EXTRA CARE BUCKS – ROLLING SCENARIO
**One more thing.. my rolling scenario includes Similac just because I happened to have a couple of coupons and my daughter is having a new baby, you can eliminate this item from Transaction #2 since it doesn’t make any difference in your OOP or ECBs.
Transaction #1
BUY TWO Revlon ($4.99 each)
BUY ONE Revlon ($5.29 each or higher)
USE the $3/$10 that will print from the ECB Machine
USE THREE $2/1 Revlon ColorStay Aquamineral or any Face product from 4/10 SS or $2/1 Color Cosmetic from 5/8 SS
Pay $6.27 (plus tax) OOP but get back $7.00 in ECBs
Transaction #2
BUY TWO Carefree Pantiliners ($.99 each)
BUY ONE Similac Ready to Feed formula 32 oz $4.99
BUY THREE Excedrin PM ($5.29 each)
USE THREE $2.50/1 Excedrin PM 16+ct from 12/5/10 SS or Tearpad or Blinkie
USE ONE $1.50/1 Excedrin printed from the ECB machine last week
USE ONE $5/1 Similac from 4/3 SS
USE TWO $1/1 Carefree from 5/8 SS
USE the $7.00 ECB from Transaction #1 (you may lose a little so pick up a $.16 filler)
Pay ZERO OOP get back $7.00 in ECBs
*They may want to reduce the Similac & Carefree coupons down by one cent*
Transaction 3
BUY SIX 2 Ltrs of Coke Products $.99 each (Sorry, hubby loves Coke and is running low)
BUY TWO Duncan Hines Brownies ($.83 each)
BUY ONE Raisin Bran Cereal ($1.97 each)

USE ONE $0.70/1 Kellogg’s Raisin Bran Cereal Kelloggs
USE THE $7.00 in ECBs from Transaction #2
Pay $.93 OOP (no ECBs Back)
BOTTOM LINE: You end up paying $7.20 OOP but get $47.74 worth of product! That awesome! If you have ECBs from the previous week, use them in the first transaction to lower your OOP!
Have a great weekend!
