Here are the scenarios I have for the Four Day Sale! It is a HUGE ad with LOTS of freebies and moneymakers! These scenarios include many of them but there really are a lot more! This will get you started! There are five transactions listed but feel free to do more or less. These deals are good 11/18/12 – 11/21/12 so you can spread them out over a couple of days if you prefer. This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollarAND your Extra Care Bucks at CVS. Please know that you do not have to follow these transactions if you do not want to. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your Extra Care Bucks from one scenario to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

**Also – Don’t forget that your ECBs will expire in a few weeks and if you let them expire, you are basically throwing away money. If you are concerned you will let them expire and you want to use them now, I would put your ECBs towards paper products like toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, etc which are hard to get dirt cheap!
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Do you know if this sale will be live tonight? I know certain stores input sale items on Saturday. Thank you for your time and for all the work you do. Love your site.
Just a heads up for everyone, the childrens advil 1oz says travel size on it, so make sure your coupons dont exclude this.
Forgot to mention, if you purchased any of the advil that was on sale a few weeks ago at publix check to see if they have the 2.00 peelie still attached, the ones I have state 2.00 off any advil, advil migrane or advil pm 20ct or smaller only.
