Understanding Extra Care Bucks (ECB) * Shopping CVS
Current CVS Deals
As we posted, there are two CVS ads for most this week. The first ad was good thru 10/9 and if you did that shopping scenario you should have $4.00 in ECB to use on the ad for the rest of this week.
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 $26.45 in product for $7.96 (+ any applicable sales tax) with $3.00 in ECB to use next week. That’s a savings of about 70%.
We Beauty Club members will have $9.98 in purchases towards our FREE $5.00 ECB!
Here’s the shopping scenario for the 4 day ad 10/10 – 10/13.
