CVS: Saved $23.38 + Made Money Using No ECBs

May 13, 2011

Have you gotten your 5 FREE cards from Shutterfly yet? You can get cards for Father’s Day, graduation, weddings, birthdays, and more. You only pay shipping. Click here to check out the details.

It all started with my determination to gather some more ECBs. I’d spent all of mine on a few necessities last week. So I had NO ECBs to play with this week! {Sad… but true.}  I was thrilled to find the clearanced Tylenol Precise Patches yesterday. I figured there was a way to combine that sweet find and the $5 off $25 purchase coupon that was sitting in my inbox. Sure enough… I was able to pay just $3.78 out-of-pocket for all of this:

What I Bought:

2 Carefree Liners – $.99 each
3 Tylenol Precise – $1.94 each
2 20-ounce Coke Products – $1.79 each
2 Revlon Fabulash Mascara – $7.89 each
Merchandise Value: $27.16

Coupons Used:

$5 off $25 purchase coupon received via email
2 $1/1 Carefree Product, exp. 6-30-11 (SS 05/08/11)
2 $2/1 Precise by Tylenol 5/8/2011 SS Insert (exp 8/31/2011)
1 $5/1 Tylenol Precise Product Printable
2 FREE Coke product coupons from My Coke Rewards
2 $2/1 Revlon Color Cosmetic Product 5/8/2011 SS Insert (exp 6/12/2011)

Out-of-Pocket Cost: $3.18 plus tax
ECBs Earned: $7.00 (Revlon)
Final Price: $3.78  moneymaker!

Mission accomplished! I spent less than I got back in ECBs. Now I’m ready to use my $7 ECBs next week… hopefully to grow them into more. If you got a CVS store coupon by email this week be sure to check the expiration date. Mine was set to expire Saturday instead of Sunday this time.
