ECBs Earned: $10 for next week
I made one last run to CVS today to take advantage of the coupon that I was emailed. I also printed my quarterly ECBs from home, so I had those in-hand too. I was pleasantly surprised when one of my favorite cashiers told me that I could take advantage of any of next week’s deals that were already tagged! I hadn’t studied next week’s sale flyer yet, so I just kept my eyes open. And I’m glad I did!
Next week is another baby rewards week. All of the Huggies products are buy $25 – get $10 ECBs back. Yahoo! The only diaper-type products we buy now are night pull-ups, but those were included. They were $10, and the wipes refills were $5. I still had 4 of the $5 off Huggies coupons, so I was THRILLED!!! (These coupons are no longer available for printing.) Here’s what I got.

But I still have the $10 from Transaction #1 and my $7 quarterly ECBs.
I also realized that I must have handed my cashier the $5 coupon for the Huggies wipes (Transaction #3) in Transaction #1. OOPS! I couldn’t figure out why my total was so low for #1 and so high for #3. Aren’t we spoiled when we think $5 OOP is high!?!?
