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 $21.95 in product for $3.98 (+ any applicable sales tax) with $1.00 in ECB to use next week. That’s a savings of about 82%!!
Remember, you don’t have to do all the transactions in one day or even at the same store.
Transaction #1:
Buy 4 Bags of Hershey Candy 7.8 – 8.5 oz. 4/$10.00
Buy 2 Right Guard Total Defense 5 Deodorant, Body Wash 13.5-oz. or Bar Soap 6-pk $2.99
Subtotal: $15.98
Use Save $2.00 /2 HERSHEY’S KISSES, REESE’S, HERSHEY’S Nuggets, HERSHEY’S Miniatures, ROLO, YORK or HERSHEY’S BLISS bags (7.8oz or larger)
Use $3.00 off 2 Right Guard Total Defense 5 Products
Use $5.00 ECB from last week
Final price: pay $3.98 + get $3.00 ECB (Hershey) + $1.00 ECB (Right Guard)
There is also a $1.10 off 2 HERSHEY’S KISSES or HERSHEY’S Nuggets. available. You’ll pay .90 more but still a good deal!
Transaction #2:
Buy All Liquid 28-32 Loads, Small & Mighty 32 Loads or Mighty Pacs 24-ct. $3.99
Buy 2 Carmex Lip Balm .99 ea.
Subtotal: $5.97
Use $1.00/2 any Carmex RP 10-21 (exp. 12-31)
Use $1.00/1 All Detergent RP 11-11 (exp. 12-23) or RP 12-2
Use $4.00 ECB from transaction #1
Final price: pay Zero (+ any applicable sales tax) + get $1.00 ECB
There is also a $.50 off one (1) Carmex lip conditioner (if included) that you can use instead of the $1.00/2….just use 2. And a .30/1 Carmex printable.
In this scenario it’s like getting $21.95 in product for only $2.98 after ECB!
