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!!

ROLLING SCENARIO:
This is
just an idea, you can play around with it any way you want to with CVS,
there are very little restrictions on using your ECBs except that you
are limited to the number of deals that you can do since they are
connected to your ECB card. You also do NOT have to do them all at one
time, since they are connected to your card, you can do one transaction,
then go back and do another or even go to a different store if they
don’t have all of the merchandise that you are looking for. I am going
to try to end up with the lowest OOP for the most merchandise, lets see
how we do!
**I am focusing on a pack on diapers for my niece who just delivered twins but want to maximize my savings, this is how I am doing it, feel free to play around with it:
Transaction #1
BUY ONE Pampers Swaddlers, Cruisers, Baby Dry, or Easy Ups Jumbo pks $8.99
USE ONE $2/1 Pampers Swaddlers, Cruisers, +7/31 P&G insert
(use any ECBs you have from last week here)
Pay $6.99 OOP but get back $3.00 in ECBs
Transaction #2
Buy three Softsoap Body Wash 15-18 oz, 3/$9
USE THREE $1.00/1 coupons from the 7/24 SS
Use the $3.00 ECB from Transaction #1
Pay $3.00 OOP (plus tax) and get back $3.00 in ECBs
Transaction #3
BUY TWO Aussie or Herbal Essences Shampoo or Conditioner, or Stylers 6-14 oz 2/$4.97
USE TWO $1/1 Herbal Essences or Aussie 8/7/11 RP
USE THE $3.00 ECB from Transaction #2
Pay ZERO OOP but get back $1.00 in ECBs
Transaction #4
BUY TWO Skintimate Shave Gel or Cream or Edge $1.99
USE TWO $1.50/1 Skintimate Cream Shave Printable
USE THE $1.00 ECB from Transaction #3
Pay ZERO (just tax if applicable)
BOTTOM LINE: I spent approximately $9.99 OOP but ended up with over $27 worth of merchandise including a Jumbo pack of Pampers, three body washes, two herbal essences products and two skintimate shave gel, not too shabby!!
Make sure you check in on our facebook page and let everyone know how you do this week! Even though it is a slow week, as you can see… there are deals to be found! Woohoo!
