We’re stocking up on meds and razors this week. If you’re starting out without any ECBs, you can get everything below for less than $13. If you’re returning with your $8.54 in ECBs earned last week, your OOP drops to just $3.93! Stick with me and I’ll show you the ropes.

Thanks, Amber. I really appreciate it.
Renee, what price does your ad list them at? I have a central Ohio ad right here, and they’re advertised at $4.99. Sometimes prices do vary by region, but they also could just be ringing up wrong, and they should be able to adjust the price if that’s the case.

Just FYI for people, My CVS wouldn’t let me use the 3 Advil PM coupons. The first one went through and the 2nd one beeped at her and she said that the system was denying the coupon becasue it was over the amount of $’s purchased for that item. I didn’t want to fight with her so I said just give me one then and that seemed to work fine. When I tried to do 3 it didn’t work. The one only would go through for $0.99.

My CVS beeped at the $2 Advil coupon too, but I just told the guy to key it in for $.99 and he did, so no overage, but it was still free. Also, here in PA, the sale ad says $5.99 for the razors. I found some $3 Bic coupons that expired today and made a dollar on the deal, got 3. Had to go to 3 CVS’s though, they sell out fast on good deals.

Thanks, Bree! LOL, I don’t think I’m a genius, but I have fun configuring the deals.
Kim, you have to buy the pen in the first transaction to get the subtotal high enough to use the ECBs from last week. Transaction #3 will only work if you buy it because you have to spend $20 on the deal to get the $10 ECBs, but I only have $19 in the transaction since we purchased the pen earlier.
The Advil coupons should work, but the cashier will need to key in the amount since they cost less than the amount of the coupon. As an alternative if you don’t want to fuss with that, you could just buy one more Advil than you have coupons for, and the coupons will scan without beeping. For example, if you have a $1/1 coupon and a $2/1 coupon, buy 4 Advils, and pay just $0.96 for them all.
