I have a lot of ECBs, so if I’m able to put together just one scenario and have enough ECBs to do it and come out with basically what I’ve spent, I do it and call it good. If you don’t have a lot of ECBs, buy one thing and then “roll” the ECB for that into the next item (or items) you want.
TIP: Find out if your CVS store accepts expired ECBs/CRTs. Mine will take them up to a month after the expiration date, so I always hang on to all of my CRTs until they are at least a month past the expiration date.
NOTES: My CVS stores turn the deals on early (Saturday evening). I went last night and the ECBs did not print for the Maybelline or the Right Guard. Hopefully they will fix these soon. The ad says that the limit on the contact solution is limit 1, but it has been reported that it is actually limit 5! This will be free after ECBs as part of the December monthly deals and there is some talk that they may have activated this deal early.
**Make sure you scan your card if you have the scanners that print coupons in your stores. I have gotten a $10/50 CRT on both of my cards that I am saving for the Thanksgiving day sale!
