Here are this week’s scenarios starting 3/2/14.This week I gave you an optional 4th transaction if you purchase diapers! The 4th transaction will get you a jumbo pack of Pampers for $3.24 out of pocket (AND you will be paid $1.00 ECB to use next time you shop at CVS)!
Do you have left over ECBs from last week to use? Include those in the scenarios to save even more! 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 Remaining ECBs to apply towards next week’s ad: $1 ECB
Total Out of Pocket for all four transactions: $10.50 + applicable taxes for approximately $31.00 in products. If you don’t buy the diapers, you will spend $7.26 on $22.00 worth of 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, 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..
