CVS Scenarios - week of 2/22

I saw a number of things of interest in this week's CVS ad. In addition, I haven't yet taken advantage of some of the monthly deals, so I plan to work a few of those in as well.

Transaction #1
2 - Stayfree Pads

-$2 Stayfree CRT
-$3.99 BOGO mfg coupon

Total $1.99, earn $4 ECBs.

Transaction #2 (optional)
1 - Gillette Fusion Razor

-$4 Gillette Fusion mfg coupon

Total $3.99, pay with $4 ECBs from Transaction #1, adjusted down to $3.99. Earn $4 ECBs.

Transaction #3
2 - Nyquil/Dayquil

-$1.50 Nyquil/Dayquil mfg coupon
-$1.50 Nyquil/Dayquil mfg coupon

Total $6.98. Pay with $4 ECB from Transaction #2 (or #1 if you skip transaction #2) and $2.98 OOP. Earn $5 ECBs.

Transaction #4

1 - Colgate
1 - Aquafresh
1 - All
1 - Fruitopia Shampoo

-$.75 Colgate mfg coupon
-$.75 Aquafresh IP
-$1 All mfg coupon
-$1 Fruitopia CRT

Total $5.24. Pay with $5 ECB from Transaction #3 and $.24 OOP.

Total OOP $5.21.

Some other things I am considering are:

  • 7-up 12 pks $4/$12, earn $3 ECBs. Makes them $2.25 each. There is a coupon on 7-up website, but I was having trouble getting it to print.

  • V05 Conditioner $.77 (limit 6). I use this instead of shaving cream and it is a good price.

  • Children's Chewable Tylenol $1.99, earn $1.99 ECBs. I'm not sure about this one. If anything, I would use them, the risk of Reye's Syndrome would keep me from giving them to the kids.

  • Revlon spend $20, get $10 ECBS. There are some $1 and $2 coupons on cosmetics and tools out there. I just need to figure out how to build a decent transaction to minimize OOP.
