If you are just learning how to shop at CVS, start here for some helpful tips.
The coupon match-ups for the weekly deals are here.
The following are scenarios for people who are “new” to shopping at CVS or who have very few ECBs to start with: (these are just ideas….you do not have to follow this exact order and you can skip some items if you do not need them or don’t have the coupons that match up with them)
Transaction #1: (you have to do this on Sunday/Monday)
Buy 1 Paas egg decorating kit – $1.99
Spend $1.99, get $1.99 ECB
Transaction #2:
Buy 2 Fantastik All Purpose Cleaners – 2/$5 (you could also buy Scrubbing Bubbles, Shout, or Windex, but you would pay a little bit more because the coupons are not as much – see the weeky coupon match ups for details)
*With these scenarios, you get $14.98 in merchandise for $4.99 OOP with $1 ECB left to spend
Use 2 $1 Fantastik coupons
Use $1.99 Paas ECB
Spend $1.01 OOP, get $1 ECB
Transaction #3:
Buy 2 Colgate Total toothpastes – 2/$5
Buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Action Scrubber – $2.99
Use $1 Colgate printable
Use $1.50 Colgate Total coupon from April All You
Use $1 Fantastik ECB
Use $2.75 printable
Spend $1.99 OOP, get $1 ECB
Here is my scenario for the week (I am able to do one big transaction because I have enough ECBs to spend): $41.94 in merchandise for $0 OOP, earn $19.98 ECBs
