Do you want to start to get good deals at CVS? Start with this easy one.
Buy 3 Tresemme Products (on sale 3 for $10),
Use 3 of these coupons. $1 off 1 product printable coupons.
Use 3 of these coupons. $1 off 1 product printable coupons.
If you do not have a CVS card. Get one NOW and use it when you make ANY purchase.
Your total will be $10.00 + tax – $3.00 in coupons so around $7.50. Now at the bottom of your receipt you will have a $5.00 ECB (Extra Care Buck) this is like cash, do not loose it! You can turn around now and purchase something else and pay for it with the ECB. Make sure you spend over $5.00 as you will not get any change back.
If you do it this way it makes your Tresemme products about $0.67 each after coupons and ECBs.
Now this is where I can usually score some free things. I will take that $5.00 ECB and go back and buy the milk on sale this week for $2.79 and some of the toothpaste for $2.99. I will use a coupon on the toothpaste for .75 cents off. My total will be $5.04 I will use my $5.00 ECB and pay only tax for the milk and toothpaste. Now the best part, I am going to get 2 more ECB’s at the bottom of my receipt for the milk ($2.00) and the toothpaste ($2.00) Now I have $4 in ECB’s to but something else. Which since you can do the Tresemme deal twice I will probably do this again but instead of $7.50 out of my pocket to begin with I will hand them the $4 in ECB’s I have and the rest in cash to pay for it along with my coupons, but then I get back another $5.00 in ECB’s, which I will save for next week.
I hope this makes some sense. If not email me and I can help!

Thanks for emailing me =) I'm think I'm getting the hang of it…I think it's just a matter of when it all works out for the individual…if you need/want the things that give you the ECB's back. I did end up getting 6 free glade candles because of couponing…and I got 2 of those Dove skinvitalizers for a buch because they were reduced from 12.99 to 4 bucks and then I had a 350 off coupon. =) It's kind of addicting…not having to pay for stuff makes me not want to have to pay for anything! I want Kohls to have crazy ways to steal legally!Thanks for all of your help though! I came across a great site called http://www.neverpayretailagain.blogspot.com and she writes a lot of tips and tricks.Thanks again though!
