CVS 101 (Week of 4/5/09)

If you are a beginning CVSer, you can go here for a quick tutorial on how to get started.

Don't let this overwhelm you! Feel free to ask lots of questions. It can be confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it!

To get you started, I'm going to suggest two transactions that will get you the most ECBs for your money. You can go with my suggestion or create your own. Scroll down to find more deals this week at CVS. (Hint: There's a good ECB deal on Huggies diapers and wipes this week!)

Transaction #1:
Buy:

(1) Colgate Max Fresh or Max White, $2.99
Get $2 ECBs (limit 1)

If you have coupons saved, there are two Colgate coupons. (See right side of screen for coupon lingo definitions!)

THEN, I would ask if I can do another transaction (which I do ALL the time) and buy this:

(1) Easter Grass, $.79 ea. Get $.1.58 ECBs

(2) Bamboo Easter Baskets, $1.99 ea.
Get $3.98 ECBs


Use ECBs from previous transaction.
