FREE BATTERIES

I just had to post about an AWESOME deal I got Monday at CVS. I was so excited! Here's what I got:

And all that for $0.91 out-of-pocket! 

I also left with more Extra Care Bucks (which are like cash) to spend at CVS on a future trip than what I started with. For any that are interested in how I did this, read below:

1st Transaction:

Buy 4 Glade Glass Scents @ $2.50 each

Use 2 B1G1 (buy-one-get-one) coupons

Use 1 $1/1 coupons ($1/1 means $1 off one)

Total: $4 after coupons

Buy 3 packs of Duracell batteries @ $5.99 each

Buy 1 pack of Duracell batteries @ $5.49

Use 2 $5/2 CVS tearpad coupons (found near the batteries)

Use 4 $1.50/1 coupons

Total: $7.46 after coupons

Buy 2 Lindt Excellence Chocolate Bars @ $2.49 each

Use 1 B1G1 coupon

Use 1 $0.75/1 coupon

Total:  $1.74 after coupons

Total + Tax: $13.89

Pay with $12.98 ECB's (Extra Care Bucks) from previous CVS shopping trips

Pay remaining $0.91 in cash

 

Get $5 ECB's (Extra Care Bucks) back for buing $10 worth of Glade products

Get $15 ECB's back for buying $20 worth of Duracell batteries

So in that transaction I used $12.98 worth of my previous Extra Care Bucks plus $0.91 cash and ended up with $20 worth of Extra Care Bucks - a profit of $6.11.

2nd Transaction:

Buy 6 packs of Duracell batteries @ $5.99 each

Buy 2 packs of Duracell batteries @ $5.49 each

Use 4 $5/2 CVS tearpad coupons (found near the batteries)

Total of $26.92 after coupons

Pay with $26.92 worth of Extra Care Bucks from previous transactions

Get $30 worth of Extra Care Bucks for buying $40 worth of Duracell Batteries.

So in my last transaction I used all of my remaining Extra Care Bucks which was $26.92 (It was actually $27 but since my transaction didn't cost that much I lost out on $0.08 worth of ECB's). But I left with $30 worth of Extra Care Bucks - a total profit for the day of $3.08.

Just to clarify incase anyone was following the math in my last transaction - If you pay at CVS using only Extra Care Bucks and coupons you don't have to pay tax - that's why you'll notice I paid no tax on the second transaction.

Isn't that exciting!? I got all of what was pictured above for just $0.91 out-of-pocket, plus I left with $30 ECB's to spend like cash on a future transaction at CVS!!
