Ok, so I always heard about people "CVSing" meaning they would get amazing deals, including things for free plus overage. I never understood how until I tried it. Every week, new deals come out and if you use your CVS card and buy certain items, you will get what's called Extra Care Bucks (ECB). Well we love Pringles in this house and just our luck, they were on sale at CVS for $.88 a can. I saw that Pantene shampoo and conditioner gave you 1 ECB when you buy 1 of each, and Colgate toothpaste gave you 2 ECB. Well I had coupons for both. So I got a bottle of Shampoo and conditioner, plus the 1 ECB, plus a $3.00 off coupon. I also had a coupon for a free styling product when you purchase a Pantene shampoo and conditioner. Then I bought the Colgate, used my $.75 off coupon, and got 2 ECB. I did two separate transactions. With my receipt from my first transaction, out popped my 3 ECB. I then bought 8 cans of Pringles. That brought my total to $7.04 for the 8 cans (at $.88 each). I used my 3 ECB from the first transaction which now brings my total to $4.04, and 4 coupons that I had for the Pringles, which was save $1.00 on two cans. Well I bought 8 cans, 4 coupons at $1.00 off each now brings my total to, yes you guessed it, $.04!!! So yes, I got 8 cans of Pringles for $.04!!!!
I was so excited that I just HAD to buy more, someway somehow. Sadly, I used all of my Pringles coupons, so I had to find another way...
I looked back through the weekly ad and looked to see if I had anymore coupon matches, or needed anything that would give me more ECB.
I saw that their usual $5.99 20 count Excedrin was on sale for $1.99. Well I had a coupon for $2.00! I also saw that Skintimate shave gel was $3.49, more than I would pay for, especially having no coupon for it, but it would give me $3.49 in ECB.
So I did another two transactions. First I bought my Excedrin (which was free thanks to the sale and my coupon!) and the Skintimate shave gel. Out printed my receipt and $3.49 in ECB. So, I bought ANOTHER 4 cans of Pringles (I told you we love these things!). The total was $3.52 for the 4 cans, I used my $3.49 from the first transaction, now brining my total to $.03!!
So, now we have 12 cans of Pringles that will not expire until November of this year (which I can assure will get eaten well before then!) that I bought for a total of $.07!!!! That's less than a penny each!
So now CVS definately has me hooked!!
