I think I'm finally getting the hang of CVS.
Though I felt kind of weird doing multiple transactions, I always do that at Walgreens but never anywhere else. So it was an experience. But no problems!! YAY!

1st Transaction:
1 Suave Body Wash
2 Suave Hair Care = $6
- .75 off suave body wash
- $1/2 suave hair care = 4.66 w/ tax Got $2 ECB

2nd Trans:
Colgate Total 2.99
CVS Paper Towels 1.99
- $1 Colgate
- $1 CVS paper towels *printed from scanner*
-$2 ECB = 1.12 w/ tax
Got $2 ECB

3rd Trans:
2 Covergirl Wetslicks at 5.99
-BOGO Covergirl Lip
- $2 ECB = 4.27 w/ tax
Got $5.99 ECB

4th Trans:
2 Neutragena Healthy Volume mascaras at 5.99 each
- $3 off 2 Neutragrena Makeup
-$5.99 ECB = $3.40 w/ tax
Got $6 ECB!

Total oop: 13.45 and still have $6 ECB

I'm learning and didn't have any ecb's walking in. So i was excited I got my oop so low

great job!! It takes awhile to get the ECB's built up. And something funny...I am having to go to Walgreens today, and am worried about coupons and multiple transactions, when at CVS I do it all the time. Funny, huh

Great job..Thanks for sharing..

Ok... so this never dawned on me, but you break up your transactions that will spit out ECB's and roll those ECB's into your next transaction??

Great Job!!

wtg!! i do that, too, use my ecbs right away on the next transaction..the cashier is always amazed, Lol

You go girl! Before you know it you will be rolling in ecbs!

Yeah

great job applerama! it's fun getting great deals!

Awesome job!!! It takes awhile, but you'll get it!

Newbie I think you got it. I roll mine now. Was saving for a rainy day. But now I just keep a few on me and roll them. CVS is fun.

Yeah then I went tonight and spent my $6 on a drawer organizer - the manager was so nice, i was very impressed. It didn't have a price tag but everything around it was 50% off so I haul it over to the scanner and he comes out and scans it for me... "hmm it's not ringing up 1/2 off.. well I'll give it to you!" Then offers to carry it for me to the register and thanks me for shopping. It was refreshing. So I got a $24.99 organizer (using it for my stockpile!) for $12.50 and then used my $6 ecb's to make it even less. :yippppiie:

Very happy. Cept the scanner wasn't able to print coupons. *pfft*

Good job! Isn't the first trip fun

I used to save them too! until this week...I finally started to roll them. After you get going and have a few saved up its easier to think of them as coupons and not cash . I still keep a running total of my deals and count my ECBs i have to put into the deal as my total OOP ...and compare that to how many ECBs im getting out of the deal to see if its worth doing.

I went today to do a whole rolling thing...then they didnt have something that was part of my deal! I had to go and sit in the car and write out a new plan . I had already bought most of the deals for this week so I was running out of substitutions. Finally figured something out but the Revlon ECB didnt print...I dont know if they will give it to me either since I bought it Saturday not Sunday- our deals are on Sunday and Monday here.

I think you did great.
