CVS Trip
I would have thought that after all of his cheap razors, Bob would be done with CVS for the week. Then yesterday when he got home, it was a sea of coupon clipping and trip planning as he was chattering excitedly about cheap deodorant. LOL! He ended up getting some great stuff – and did so after 5 separate transactions, rolling ECBs from one transaction to the next.
Be sure to check out the CVS Christmas clearance post that I put up last week. That trip includes the 90% off items. Last week we shopped 75% off CVS Christmas clearance.
If you’re new to CVS shopping, make sure you check out our CVS for beginners post to learn the ropes! You might also want to review the CVS coupon policy and consider carrying a printed copy with you.

Final breakdown –
Paid $14.78 out of pocket for $81.83 (retail) in product. Walked away with $6 ECBs to spend next time. That’s like paying $8.78 for more than $80 in product after you figure in the ECBs on that last transaction. AND IT’S ALL STUFF WE’LL USE!
