CVS Shopping Trip
2 Nivea Shaving Gel – $3.99 each (Buy 2 – Get $5 ECBs)
Used $3/2 printable1 CVS Men’s 5 Blade Razor – $6.99 (Buy 1 – Get $4 ECBs)
Used $3/1 printable1 Crest Toothpaste – $2.99 (Buy 1 – Get $2 ECBs)
Used $0.50/1 coupon from the 10/27 P&G insertUsed $11 ECBs from previous shopping trips
Total before ECBs, sales and coupons: $20.33
Total with tax ($1.07) after ECBs, sales and coupons: $1.53, plus received $11 ECBs back
If you do not have any ECBs but want to copy the ECB deals in this shopping trip, you can break it into 3 transactions and spend a lot less out of pocket. Here’s an example of how it would work:
Transaction #1
Buy 1 Crest Toothpaste – $2.99
Use $0.50/1 coupon from the 10/27 P&G insert
Pay $2.49 plus tax out of pocket, Get $2 ECBs back
Transaction #2
Buy 1 CVS Men’s 5 Blade Razor – $6.99
Use $3/1 printable
And use $2 ECBs from transaction #1
Pay $1.99 plus tax out of pocket, Get $4 ECBs back
Transaction #3
Buy 2 Nivea Shaving Gel – $3.99 each
Use $3/2 printable
And use $4 ECBs from Transaction #2
Pay $0.98 out of pocket, Get $5 ECBs back
So you would pay $5.46 plus tax out of pocket and have $5 ECBs to use next time.

Does your CVS let you do multiple transactions even if someone is behind you? Or are you familiar to the cashiers and they let you do multiple transactions? Also, do they let you use ECB’s you’ve just earned on the next transaction?
Thanks!

Hey thanks so much for this. Wanted to let you know also that CVS mentioned that a lot aof their stores are having trouble with the Nivea coupons. They scanned one of mine and it said it was over 900 days expired. But they over rode it and it was fine. Just wanted to give heads up.
