My CVS Trip: Moneymaker

I made a quick trip to CVS at lunch yesterday. I had some ECB's (Extra Care Bucks) from a previous trip that needed to be used before they expired. I try to make the most of my ECB's so here's what I did:

Starting with $6.99 in ECBs from previous week

1st Transaction:
Purchased 1 pack of Goodnites
Sale Price: $8.99
- $1.50 coupon from SS 4/18
- $6.99 ECB
Total due: Tax Only .79
Received $2 ECBs

2nd Transaction:
Purchased Crest Pro Health
Sale Price: $3.50
- .75 coupon from P&G 5/2
- $2 ECB (from transaction #1)
= .75 + tax
Received $3.50 ECBs

I will submit my Crest Pro Health receipt for a rebate (found on tearpad at Publix) of a FREE Crest Toothpaste coupon. When I receive that free coupon, I will save it to use on another ECB promotion (CVS runs ECB promotions on Crest Toothpaste frequently).

And that is how you make the most of your coupons!
