CVS Frees!

Since I had a ton of ECBs stored up from shopping on Black Friday and because my mom was with me, I decided to just do one huge transaction instead of breaking it up like normal. Although I did end up buying one of the deodorants separately just to save on my OOP a little bit. I didn't think my receipt would ever finish printing for Transaction #1! lol

CVS Transaction #1:
+ 5 Listerine Cool Mint 500 ml mouthwash
+ 1 Zantac 150 8-ct.
+ 2 bags Halls Natural Herbal cough drops (the limit for free after ECBs is one on these, but I had a 50 cents off 1 coupon and also a BOGO coupon--so I got 2 for free, plus made 50 cents)
+ 3 Right Guard Professional Strength
+ 1 Excedrin Express Gels 20 ct.
+ 2 Crest Pro Whitening toothpaste 4.2 oz
+ 5 Arm & Hammer Essentials cleaner starter kits
+ 2 Sally Hansen Nail Polish
+ 2 L'Oreal Hip Metallic Eye Shadow
+ 1 Benefiber Stick Pack 16 ct.
- Coupons (totaling $20.29)
- ECBs (totaling $78.93)
+ Tax
=$3.17 on GC, $0.00 out of pocket, $121.19 saved, 100% savings
Avg. cost per item: $0.00
*Plus I earned back $96.72 in ECBs, a $5 off any $15 purchase coupon, a $2.50 off any Pain Reliever purchase of $10 coupon, and a $2 off an $8 Hair Care purchase coupon!

CVS Transaction #2:
+ 1 Right Guard Professional Strength
- ECBs (totaling $4.00 from previous transaction)
+ Tax
=$2.14 on GC, $0.00 out of pocket, $7.99 saved, 100% savings
Avg. cost per item: $0.00
*Plus I earned back $6.00 in ECBs!


In total, I spent $5.31 on my gift card and $82.93 in ECBs. I walked away with 25 items, saved $129.18, and have $98.72 in ECBs in my pocket. So, if you take the ECBs I now have and subtract the ECBs I spent and the money I spent on my gift card, I actually EARNED $10.48 for buying all this stuff!
