Yes my first “official” CVS posting of the year… aren’t you all excited?… although now I have an accomplice! 🙂 Oh, and today I saw another shopper in my CVS with a coupon binder, so I know I am not the only one harassing them! Ha!
As you can see, it was a candy week… the people in my household (okay, mainly Ben) have a tendency to get a sweet tooth and then go buy something at *gasp* FULL PRICE so I thought I would take advantage of the good sales and stock up a little for those days.
Since I am a member of their Advisory Panel, last week I received an email survey to take, which as payment I received $5 in ECBs. So I bought 2 candy bars and some Jet Dry, paid with the $5 ECBs and got $2.48 in ECBs back. I think the cashier screwed up because I didn’t even have to pay tax, which you normally do. So this week I started with $2.48 ECBs.
(2) Large Bags of M&Ms… reg price $3.99 ea, on sale 2/$5

= $1.50 ea + got $1 ECB back

Subtotal: $44.25
After sales and coupons: $19.66
Paid with previous ECBs: -$2.48

I think Carter's liking that Kit Kat a little too much...
Next Week: Due to popular request I am going to do a 3 or 4 part series on how I “coupon” at CVS. Stay tuned…

I totally want to squeeze Carter’s cheeks! Look at his face, so precious! Also, I will be looking for the tutorial on how you “coupon” at CVS.
