I know a lot of people have questions about how you save money at drug stores, so I am going to outline my planned trips for both Walgreen's and CVS each week. I think seeing my plans for transactions before I do them will be more helpful than after I do them (I know a lot of people - myself included! - prefer to shop early on Sunday).
This week at CVS I will be starting with $10.00 in ECB from the Huggies deal a few weeks back. My plan is to pay $0.71 (plus tax) and then have $2.00 in ECBs for next week.
Purchase:
- Charmin Basic 12 count $5.49
Use $1.00/1 Home Mailer - I just received this today - how lucky!
- Bounty 8 Pack $6.99
Use $2.00/1 Cash Register Tape Coupon - I received this from the "coupon center" in the store!
PLUS - Use $0.25/1 insert coupon
- Dawn $0.99 (purchasing 2!)
Use 2 - $0.25/1 insert coupons
Price before any coupons/ECBs = $14.46
Minus Manufacture Coupons = - $1.75
Minus CRTs and ECBs = - $12.00
Total = $0.71 (plus tax)
Get Back= $1.00 ECB (Bounty) and $1.00 ECB (Charmin)
It's not the most impressive transaction as I typically like to get back about as much as I put in with my ECBs, but toilet paper and paper towels are one of those things that can be difficult to find a good stockpile price. I am hoping for a better "money making" week for next week so I can grow the $2.00 in ECBs that I get back.
