Here are the scenarios starting 6/23/13! There are some great deals so I spread them out over four transactions this week to take advantage! I started it all off with the baby care deal. Haven’t seen such a great deal so if you have a baby or are planning to attend a shower soon, here is a great way to stock up on some necessities! This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND 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.

Total Out of Pocket for 4 transactions: $23.22 + applicable taxes for approximately $82.00 in products. And if you use left over ECBs from last week you can buy even more!
**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..
Thanks!!! I followed the scenario almost to perfection! my only glitch was that the jumbo pack of Swedish Fish were also 2/$6…. Whoops.
I followed your advise and bought pampers diapers, Enfamil liquid formula, 2 desitin, 2 Johnson shampoos used coupons for everyone ($5 off Enfamil, 2$ off pampers, 1$ off each desitin, 1$ off each Johnson, $5/$30 cvs coupon plus $10 rewards so with tax only paid 6.49 and got 12$ back. THANK YOU!!!!! I have a baby due in 5 weeks so this savings are great.
And with the 12$ I did transaction 2 with the venus razor instead of the cat food paird 1.79$ and got 16$ extra care bucks 🙂
Thanks for all you do
Laura
