Store Coupon Policies - CVS (Part 3)

As you can tell from all my posts, there are a lot of things to know about shopping at CVS.  Trust me, once you learn how to shop here, YOU WILL LOVE IT!  So many amazing deals to be found at this store!  Here are my final tips/info about coupon shopping at CVS.

• The Extra Care Buck deals in their ads each week are before coupons.  Check out my example here....
• Buy $15 in Garnier Products, Get $5 in ECB's
• Let's say the Garnier Facial Cleansers are $5 each.  You could buy 3 Facial Cleansers, use 3 coupons, and still get your ECB's.
• Buy 3 Facial Cleansers ($15)
• Use 3 $2/1 coupons (my coupon example)
• Final Out of Pocket (OOP) is only $9 and you will walk away with $5 in ECB's.
• Final Price = $4 for 3 items ($1.33 each)
• You do not have to buy everything in on transaction to get the Extra Care Buck deal.  CVS tracks your purchases for that week and once you have purchased enough for the deal, you ECB's will print.
• Using the example above of Garnier Facial Moisturizer....
• Buy 2 Facial Cleansers with 2 coupons in one transaction
• Buy 1 Facial Cleanser in another transaction later that week
• You will receive your $5 ECB's after your second transaction
• REMEMBER....you must purchase these items during the same week as the sale is going on or you will not receive the ECB's.
• Be sure to purchase one of their "Bag Tags".  When you attach this tag to any bag you have, just bring that bag into the store each time you shop.  They will scan this tag each time and after every 4 scans, you will receive a $1 ECB.  Super easy!
• You can break up your purchases into 2 transactions if you wish....just be mindful if there is a long line of customers.  This will help you decrease your OOP expense.
• If you are taking advantage of 4 different ECB deals, you can purchase 2 of them in one transaction and use those ECB's towards your 2nd transaction of 2 more ECB deals.
• The key is to calculate what would give you the lowest Out of Pocket (OOP) expense.
