Admittedly the scenarios this week aren’t spectacular, but I think they serve as a wonderful example of how shopping at CVS is a great resource even for the light couponer.
Get two tubes of brand name toothpaste, 3 two-packs of bar soap, and a deodorant for just $3.47 or less if you have ECBs to start with!
Don’t forget to show off your scenarios in the Mr. Linky below!

BUY 2 Colgate Total Advanced (4 oz.) at $2.99
USE (2) $1.50/1 Colgate printable

Let’s share our best CVS Scenarios! Just link up your blog post via the Mr. Linky below.
To keep it neat, I suggest that you list your blog name and then describe your scenario in parentheses, ex. Deal Seeking Mom (Less than $6 OOP!). The only requirement is that you link directly to your scenarios. Links directly to your homepage will be deleted.

Holy cow this is the first time I have really followed or should I say tried to follow how to really use the ECB @ CVS, I went today and saved over half of my total cost. Granted I checked out like 5 times but hey whatever it takes..Thanks Deal Seeking Mom. :)

Way to go, Stacy! I’m pretty sure the cashiers are used to people doing multiple transactions, and they’ve always been very accomodating. I just make sure I allow myself plenty of time so that I can let others behind me go ahead of me between transactions if a line builds up.

I found $3 off $15 coupons at the pharmacy register also. Some of the Soft and Dri have 0.55 peelies on them. Shop away!
