CVS $5 Scenario - Week of 3/27/11

You can save a ton of money at CVS rolling ECBs.  If you are following my CVS $5 Scenarios, you have a $6.99 ECB to start this week's shopping with.

If your store is busy, you might not want to do too many back to back transactions. I like to do a couple of transaction and then step aside and let the people behind me checkout.  This keeps the other customers and cashiers happy.

Take a look more CVS deals HERE.

Transaction #1
purchase:
(1) Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Wear Mascara $9.99
use:
ECB from last week -$6.99
= $3.00 + tax out of pocket and get a $7 ECB
Also, use $1 - 3/20/11 SS or 2/27/11 SS coupon for Physicans Formula to make this a better deal.  (Thanks, pixie_bit and Anonymous!)

Transaction #2
purchase:
(1) Skintimate Shave Cream or Gel $3.49
(2) Colgate Manual Single Pack Toothbrushes @$2.99 = $5.98
use:
(1) Skintimate coupon (3/27/11 SS) -$0.55
(2) $1 Colgate Toothbrush coupons (3/27/11 SS) -$2.00
ECB from previous transaction -$6.92 (cashier will reduce coupon)
= $0.00 (+ tax if your charged in your state) and get a $2.50 and $4 ECB

Transaction #3
purchase:
(2) Halls Cough Drops @ $1.87 = $3.74
(2) Speedstick Deodorants $5.50
use:
(2) .75 Halls coupons (3/27/11 SS) - $1.50
(2) .50 Speedstick coupons (3/27/11 SS) - $1.00
$2.50 ECB from previous transaction -$2.50
$4.00 ECB from previous transaction -$4.00
= $0.24 + tax out of pocket and get  a $2 and $3 ECB

Items Purchased
(2) Colgate Toothbrushes
(2) Halls Cough Drops
(2) Speedstick Deodorants
(1) Physicians Formula Mascara
(1) Skintimate Shave Cream or Gel

Total retail before sales & coupons: $31.72
Total out of pocket: $3.24 + tax for a 90% savings
And $5 in ECBs to start next week's shopping.
Don't forget to submit the Physicians Formula Rebate for and additional $9.99

If you didn't start with the $6.99 ECB, you still will have only spent $10.23 for this scenario - a 68% savings.
