Understanding Extra Care Bucks (ECB) * Shopping CVS
Current CVS Deals
If you’re new to CVS and don’t have any ECB from a previous shopping trip to use on the first transaction then the amount you pay will be your “seed money”. “Seed money” is the money you pay out of pocket to get your first Extra Care Bucks (ECB) to use on future purchases.
With this scenario we will be getting $41.93 in product for $15.93 ($12.93 if you received the $3 Almay CVS coupon from the scanner) + any applicable sales tax with $6.00 in ECB to use next week.
Last week we ended up with $4.00 in ECB which I will incorporate into this week’s scenario.
We Beauty Club members will have $32.98 in purchases towards our FREE $5.00 ECB! Most of you probably have at least $17.02 worth of beauty purchases already so this scenario will put you over the $50 requirement and you’ll get $5.00 in ECB the next time you scan your card or at the end of your receipt on your next purchase.
Remember, you don’t have to do all the transactions in one day or even at the same store.
Transaction #1:
Buy 3 Pantene Shampoo 2/$7.00 ($10.50)
Buy 3 Pantene Conditioner 2/$7.00 ($10.50)
Buy 1 Wisk Detergent $4.99
Buy 4 Dawn Hand Renewal .99 ea. ($3.96)
Subtotal: $29.95
Use (3) $3.00/2 Pantene P&G 12-30 (exp. 1-31)
Use $1.00/1 Wisk 45-oz. or larger-facebook
Use (4) .50/1 Dawn Hand Renewal P&G 12-30 (exp. 1-31)
Use $4.00 ECB from last week
Final price: pay $13.95 + get $10 cash card
Transaction #2:
Buy 2 Buy Almay Intense i-Color Shadow, Liner or Mascara $5.99
Subtotal: $11.98
Use $10 cash card from Transaction #1
Final price: $1.98 + get $6 ECB to use next week ($3 ECB ea. Almay)
NOTE: of you got the $3.00 off Almay coupon from the CVS scanner you’ll pay ZERO!
This scenario will be like getting $41.93 worth of product for only $9.93 after ECB (or only $6.93 if using the CVS Almay coupon)
