CVS Scenarios 9/22/13 – 9/28/13

Here are the scenarios starting 9/22/13!  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: $3 ECB

Total Out of Pocket for 3 transactions: $4.45 + applicable taxes for approximately $22.00 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!
