Here's how it worked for me... 2 Febreeze Noticeables 1 Febreeze Fabric Refresher 1 Febreeze air effects With coupons total oop = $10.55 (which was 57 cents more than I'd expected ???) Earned $10 ECBs which I used to buy 1 pack pencils 1 Colgate Total 1 Irish Spring 3 pk bar soap (on sale cheapr than WM) 2 bottles Dawn dish soap 2 Head & Shoulders With coupons and using those $10 ECBs total oop = $1.65 Earrned $7.99 ECBs which I used to buy... 1 Lipton Green Tea 12 pk 1 Dove Shampoo 1 Dove Conditioner With coupons and using those ECBs total oop = $0.58 Earned $2 ECBs for next time 1 Bic Soleil Razor With coupon total oop = $0.15 (this transaction should've been added into one of the others so I wouldn't have gotten the odd look, but I wasn't sure if it would ring up for $2.99...anyway, still a good deal, just a bit embarrassing) Total oop $12.93 plus $2 ECBs for next time :) Not too bad for a newbie ;) Thanks, moneysavingmom, for all the help!!

When there is a deal such as the "spend $15 on Covergirl products" above, is the $15 counted before or after coupons? (i.e., Could I actually spend less than $15 OOP and still get $5 in ECBs?) Thanks. I am new to your site and to this whole CVS and coupon thing, so I have a question.

They are marked $5.99 but ring up for $2.99, so I was able to use the SS coupon and score them free, too! Also, for those of you having trouble finding the tape -- I thought they were out of it at my store, but then I found a bunch of them near the gift wrap and greeting cards! You might want to check there if your office supply shelves have already been cleaned out. Thanks for the comment on Bic Soleil razors!

(Longs just switched over here in NorCal -- yippee!) Anway, I bought all the "Free after ECB" deals and the countour monitor for $19.99 with the "up to $30 off" Q that then offered me the $5 ECB. We had some trouble with the transaction, though, and the sale prices wouldn't show up until after we "totaled" the transaction. The Q for the monitor read as $30 off even though the product was on sale for $19.99. I tried and tried to get the manager to adjust the Q. I want to be honest, right? He refused to do it. He was just a little bugged by the computer being so crazy this morning that he told me to just take the $10 overage for my time. I just don't feel right about that. I left with everything and a TON of ECBs for $2.10 OOP, but I feel guilty. I actually made $15 on the monitor! I want to call Bayer and CVS, but don't want to get this guy in trouble. What do you think? Thanks so much for your hard work posting, moneysavingmom! I've saved so much money because of you.:) I had a really strange morning at CVS.

I am going to call them and see if they can make it right, but I doubt it because it was a coupon deal, and how can I prove I had a coupon? I had a problem getting them to honor the Pampers diaper deal a few weeks ago, too... they finally did award me the ECBs but it took some effort and a call to customer service.

I just got back from taking back 2 bottle of Coppertone Nutra Shield that I bought the other day. I used two $5 off coupons but they didn't come up with ECB's so I took them back. They refunded me the total price of the Coppertone about $15.56 PLUS the amount of my two $5 off coupons!!!! I thought it was unbeliveable!!! Plus I got $10 in ECB from this week's deals. thanks for posting all the awesome deals :) I’m in So Cal & didn’t have some of these good deals. i.e. Dawn dish soap :(

I just started following your blog and started at CVS this weekend. I only bought cereal and toothpaste this week since that was all we need/would use. I had the printable coupons, and the toothpaste was on sale at my CVS, so I paid $6.22 out of pocket and got $7 in ECB. Woot - not bad for the first time. Thank you!

It's actually a Post deal, so a couple of other cereals are part of the deal and they're the ones pictured in the add. What a great week! I used 10 ECB to spend 2.00 and save 41.19, with 12.45 in ECBs for next time! I've been doing CVS for a few months, but this was my first time to really score. Exciting!
