We've done really good at CVS this week. Some items are hard to find but we learned today that the truck that stocks the CVS locations around us comes in tonight. Ask that next time you are there and having trouble finding products. It also never hurts to ask if they have an item in the stockrooom.
Bought:
1 Colgate Total Advantage toothpaste
6 Herbal Essences shampoos and conditioners
Using (1) $1/1 coupon, (3) $3/2 coupons and a $10 ECB
Final Price=$1.59
Saved= $31.19
Received $5 ECB
Second Transaction:
Bought:
3 Suave Men's Body Wash
1 Colgate Total Advantage Toothpaste
Used a $1/1 coupon, a $1/1 coupon and the $5 ECB
Final Price= $1.73
Saved= $10.77
Received $8.99 ECB
Total Out of Pocket: $3.32
Total Saved: $41.96
And I've got an 8.99 ECB to use on the next deal!
Don't worry about your cashier- mine exclaimed I really knew how to shop and I needed to teach him how to do it!
If you want to know the scenarios we come up with week to keep the OOP to a minimum- let me know and I will share!

Hi Traci - I bought the 3 men's Suave body wash this morning. I used a $1.50/3 coupon, but I didn't receive the ECB. What did I do wrong?
I have no idea! Did they scan your key tag or CVS card? Get your receipt and call customer service and tell them what happened. They can verify your purchase and they should correct. You did exactly right to receive the ECB. Your other option is to go to the store and speak with a manager. Often times they will just give you $2.
Thanks! I will call. The only thing I thought about was that I received several ECB on that receipt - one for Colgate, one for Herbal Essence, and one for the Venus razor. Is there a limit to the number of ECB you can receive? I did make a big goof when I purchased the razor. I used a $2.00 off coupon, but I also purchased the Gillette Fusion razor (using the $4.00 coupon) thinking I could get 2 $4.00 ECB - one for each razor. WRONG! I didn't realize it was restricted to one ECB per card. Now, I've used my coupons. So, if I return one of the razors, I've lost my coupon savings. Lesson learned!!!
There's no limit to how many different ECB deals you can do. If you returned the extra razor- you have lost the coupon but they'll just refund the amount of the razor. I'm just sayin'.... :)
And to clarify what I meant- they still get the coupon value plus the 8 cents from the manufacturer so you aren't doing anything wrong returning it.
