This week is a pretty slow week at CVS. I have you coming out of pocket a bit more than normal but if you use Complete Multi-purpose solution, it will be worth it. 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.

If you are new to shopping at CVS, go HERE to read Intro to CVS.

To see this week’s CVS Weekly Ad go HERE.

Transaction #1

Buy one Complete Multi-purpose solution 12 oz, $8.99 (you will receive $9.99 ECB)
Minus zero coupons 🙁
(If you have remaining ECBs from last week use them here to save more!)
Total Spent: $8.99
Receive: $8.99 ECBs

Transaction #2

Buy three Doritos, 3/$9 (you will receive $3 ECB)
Minus $8.99 ECB from Transaction #1
Total Spent: $.01
Receive: $3 ECBs

Transaction #3

Buy two Mentos Pure White or or Pure Fresh, 2/$5 (you will receive $2 ECB)
Minus two $0.55/1 Mentos Gum Bottles, 15pc+ 10/09/2011 SS Insert (exp 12/31/2011)
Minus $3 ECB from Transaction #2
Total Spent: $0.90
Receive: $2 ECB

Total Remaining ECBs to apply towards next week’s ad: $2 ECB
Total Out of Pocket for 2 transactions: $9.90+ applicable taxes for approximately $23 in products. And if you use ECBs from last week in Transaction #1 you will save 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, I would put your ECBs towards paper products like toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, etc which are hard to get dirt cheap!
