CVS $5 Shopping Scenario - Week of 11/25/12

You can save a ton of money rolling ECBs - spending you ECBs on products that will trigger more.

If you are following my CVS $5 Scenarios, you have a $4  ECB to start this week's shopping.

Take a look more of this week's CVS deals.

use:
(2) B1G1 Gillette Disposable Razor Coupons (up to $11.99) - $23.98 (unless the cashier overrides it)
$4 ECB from last week

  2. The coupon was in today's P&G insert in the newspaper.

  3. For transaction 3, how do you use 2 of the $2 off 2 coupons if you are only getting 3 of the candy? Is there a glitch I'm not aware of? Also, how likely is it that the cashier will override the first transactions coupons? If he/she does, that is $9 more to owe- a pretty big difference. It is still a good deal as you are getting $10 ECB back! I was just wondering what most people found to be more common. If they just scan the coupon, we would get the 11.99 off instead of the 7.49.... It might be worth going to a different CVS if they overrode it.

    1. Hi jlat11 - Sorry, I haven't gotten back to you. My email is a mess and I somehow missed your comment.

      My mistake on saying you should use (2) of the Hershey's coupon. My math is correct, jut the number I listed. Thanks for catching my mistake. I'll fix the post.

      I haven't hear of anyone having the cashier override a B1G1 coupon to reflect the actual cost of the product, but they could. That is why I always try to put the "disclaimer" in my post.

      Ir you don't want to pay the price for the product, if the cashier adjusts a B1G1 coupon at CVS, then I would tell them I had changed my mind and have them keep the product and have them take it off my bill.
