CVS $5 Scenario - 6/05/11

You can save a ton of money at CVS rolling ECBs.  Multiple transactions don't seem to be a problem with CVS cashiers.  But, if a line forms behind you, it is courteous to step aside after a couple of transactions and let the other shoppers check out.

If you are following my CVS $5 Scenarios, you have a $3 ECB to start this week's shopping.

Take a look more CVS deals HERE.

Transaction #1
purchase:
(1) Oral-B Pulsar Toothbrush $6.00
use:
(1) Oral-B coupon (6/05/11 P&G) - $3.00
ECB from last week -$3.00
= $0.00 (+ tax if  pay in your state) out of pocket and get a $3 ECB

Transaction #2
purchase:
(1) Oral-B Pulsar Toothbrush $6.00
use:
(1) Oral-B coupon (6/05/11 P&G) - $3.00
ECB from previous transaction  -$3.00
= $0.00 (+ tax if  pay in your state) out of pocket and get a $3 ECB
Yes, you can roll ECBs at CVS.

Transaction #3
purchase:
(2) Crest Pro-Health Rinse @ $4.50 each =$9.00
use:
(2) $2 Crest Rinse coupons (6/05/11 P&G) - $4.00
ECB from previous transaction -$3.00

Yes, when the limit is 2 on a single item, you can purchase them both in the same transaction and you'll get double the ECB value.

  1. There is a coupon in this Sunday's paper for .75 off Excedrin. Can this be used with the .99 one?

  2. Lisa,

    No, you can't use that coupon for this deal. The coupon is for 24 ct. or larger, and the sale item is 8 ct.

  3. Hi, Ms. Jeri! Is the CVS weekly deals starting June 5 not up? I couldn't find it under CVS but it's okay, it's understandable, you're busy preparing for your trip. :)

    Have a safe & fun travel! :)

  4. Transaction #5 is off. In transaction #4 you said the one box is $0.99, but in #5 you said the two boxes are $0.99 total. Am I missing something?

  5. Hi Coupon.girl - CVS deals are up now. We left town Friday afternoon. Stopped to see by parents in Iowa last night and now we're in Minneapolis. I'm getting a few minutes to blog while my husband and son load up the van for my son's movee. I sure hope I can unstickify my computer after setting it down on the counter at the place my son shares with five other guys. Oh, how I've forgotten what college appartments were like.

    Amanda - My mistake. the 5th transaction should be for (1) Excedrin. Thanks for catching that.
