This is one of the best weeks in a long time at CVS, I knew that I needed to get to the store today if I want to grab the couple of deals I spotted.\u00a0 But the reason I am so excited tonight is not only did I get the deal but made money in the process.<\/p>\n
In the past, there has been some debate on a couple of websites as how to count your ECB and figure in your savings., however today no matter how you do the math, I made money by shopping.\u00a0 The one slight issue I had was that the red coupon machine did not work so I had to wait till after the transactions to get most of the coupons that have been advertised. I just kept things simple and am sure I did better by the machine being broken in the end.<\/p>\n
I started out with $1.00 ECB on my card and $2.50 on Matt’s card.<\/p>\n
Transaction #1 (my card)
\nM&M on sale $0.75 and Skinny Cow Carmel Delight on clearance for $0.59
\nTotal spent $0.37 and Earned $0.75 for the M&Ms<\/p>\n
Transaction #2 (Matt’s Card)
\nCrest Pro-Health mouthwash on sale for $4.99 and a coupon for $1.00 off
\nTotal Spent\u00a0$1.83 and earned $4 in ECB and an additional $5 in ECB for meeting $50 in the beauty club.<\/p>\n
Transaction #3 (Matt’s Card)
\nCrest Pro-Health mouthwash on sale for $4.99 and a coupon for $1.00 off
\nM&M on sale for $0.75
\nI did use $4 ECB from the previous transaction, total spent $1.09 with $4 ECBs<\/p>\n
Total Spent out of Pocket = $3.29 plus $3.50 in ECB\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 equals $6.79
\nECBs remaining = $10.50
\nTotal profit $3.71!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
