CVS Scenarios - week 1/4

There seem to be a number of deals to kick off the new year at CVS. Here are some scenarios to allow you to get a few bagfuls of product for $8 OOP. I didn't use the $3 on CVS pharmacy brand or $3/$15 coupons that are available. You could use those to sweeten the deal even more.

Transaction #1
2 - Children's Throat Cooler

-$4.99 BOGO Children's Throat Cooler IP coupon

Total $4.99; earn $9.98 ECBs.

Transaction #2
1 - Nasogel Drip Free
1 - Fructis Shampoo
2 - Colgate Toothpaste

-$2 Nasogel IP coupon
-$1 Fructis mfg coupon
