How I Save Money At CVS: 3 May 2010
Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $2.99 worth of items. I only got one tube of toothpaste as I had some ECBs that were about to expire and I did not want the ‘free’ items this week. I was also lucky enough to scan my reusable shopping bag and get $1 ECB from that.
Transaction 1
Item: Colgate toothpaste
Price: $2.99
CVS Extra Care Bucks earned: $2.00
Total coupons used: $2 ECB

Total CVS Extra Care Bucks earned today: $2.00 + $1 ECB from shopping bag.
How I Save Money At CVS: 11 April 2010
Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $4.49 worth of items. This shampoo gave back the same amount in Extra bucks as the price so if you exclude the tax it was essentially FREE. I decided to get the shampoo because I had a $4.00 ECB coupon that expired on Friday but the cashier said since it was only two days old she could still accept it.
Remember that my goal for this year is to get as much as I can by simply using my ECBs, coupons and a gift card which I have gotten from redeeming cash back rewards.
How I Save Money At CVS: 4 April 2010
Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $5.98 worth of items. I was almost out of shampoo and conditioner so I decided to get these sale items. After I paid for them I realized that there were coupons in today’s paper (which I did not buy since there was only one insert) that might have made my total be even less. I wanted to use up the ECBs I had before they expired so I went ahead and got the items anyway.
Transaction 1
Item: Pantene shampoo and conditioner
Price: $2.99 each
CVS Extra Care Bucks earned: $2.00

How I Save Money At CVS: Valentines Day 2010
Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $29.98 worth of items. Today is Valentine’s Day but the deals at CVS were not all that great in my mind. I only got three items that I really wanted and was not impressed by the rest of the selections. I made a purchase last week that I forgot to post so transaction 1 will be last week and transaction 2 will be this week.
Since my gift card balance is now so low and I made a pledge to not spend out of pocket at CVS this year I will have to find a way to generate another gift card so that I can continue shopping there.
How I Save Money At CVS: 24 January 2010
Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $3.98 worth of items. I got the toothpaste for my dad and the toothbrush for myself to place in my overnight bag. I was all excited about the Kitty litter being on sale but when I got there the box was a small box, and not the size I normally buy.
Transaction 1
Item: Crest toothpaste
Price: $1.99
CVS Extra Care Bucks earned: $1.00
Item: Oral B toothbrush
Price: $1.99
Total coupons used: $0.75 MFR + $3 ECB
How I Save Money At CVS: 10 January 2010
Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $15.86 worth of items. At first I bought the wrong item and had to return it so the money was put on a gift card but I put the totals as one. I also found a $50 gift card that I had gotten way back in September of last year. I had taken it to my best friend’s house when I went to spend a weekend and forgot it there. This means I have more CVS money than I thought and this makes it even better for me.
Transaction 1
Item: Cottonelle toilet paper
How I Save Money At CVS: 5 Jan 2010
Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $7.99 worth of items. This was my first transaction for the year but I started the year off with $9.00 in ECBs and $11.39 in gift cards. I decided to get some toothpaste to replenish my stash from last year and also got one toothbrush. I remembered to use my Green Tag reusable shopping bag so that I could work towards that extra ECB for bringing your own bag.
