I have been here on AFC for more than 6 months and I never could understand why people bought diabetes meters if there were no ECB's with them. Stumped me big time. Until I was faced with trying to get to $50 to use my $10 off 50 CRT for the second time. Then it hit me, with a manafactuers coupon making it free, it was a great way to boost the total. How have I not realized it until now? So off I sent dh and here is what he got:

One touch Mini 19.99
CVS brand Tylenol 1.50
Advil PM 4.00
Advil Tablets 4.00
Stayfree 3.29
Gillette Phenom 8.99
4 apple Soy Joy 3.88
Dr Pepper 1.39
CVS qtips 2.49

Used the following coupons: $10 off 50 CRT, One touch (19.99), $1 off Advil PM CRT, $1 Advil PM, 0.75 Advil, $1.00 off 3 Soyjoys, $2.50 off $10 pain reliever purchase CRT, and $7 ECBS

OOP: 6.29 --got back 6 ECBs for razor and 3.29 Stayfree

We also ended up with $14.15 in refunds (9.15 on a money card and $5 cash because dh had to return a razor and Stayfree he bought Monday that were not correct)

He really is beginning to hate my CVS lists! Little does he know it will only get worse now that I have had my lightbulb moment.

Thanks for sharing the lightbulb moment! I will start buying the meters now and donating them!

They are also great if you are rolling ECB into gift cards.
