Monday and Tuesday I spent about an hour each day sorting thru the CVS ad, sorting thru my coupons and working out what I would buy. It was well worth the effort. I have 2 cards–one in my name and one in my husband’s name, but here is my week’s tally–I think I’m done for the week though I am tempted to go back for more batteries. Check your ad for the Free after ECB items and see what coupons you have–great deals to be had.

All that………and…
Card 1-started this week with $45 in ECBs, currently have $42 in ECBs.
Card 2-started this week with $25 in ECBs, currently have $29 in ECBs.

I think I spent less than $3 out of pocket, I only ever had to pay tax which was usually around $0.40 a transaction.

Don’t forget to scan your card at the in-store scanners–I got two $10 off $50s.

This week was a real pickmeup as far as a bargain high, that’s for sure.
