** Sorry for the HTML mess, we are looking into what is up!
If you are new to CVS, you can read my CVS 101 HERE to help you get started. I also have a little video of how to make a transaction HERE if that would help.
CVS is my favorite place to shop! They have such good deals each week. Like many people before I started couponing I would have never bought anything in a CVS, they were too expensive! Read over my CVS 101 to get started.
These are the transactions I plan on making:
Transaction #1
1 Easter grass $.99
1 Paas Easter Egg Kit $1.99
Use:
-$1.99 ECB from last week
Total Due: $.99
Get Back: $2.98 ECB
Transaction #2
Just the Basics bottled water, 24 pk., $2.22
CVS/pharmacy Green Bag Tag $.99
Use $2.98 ECb from previous purchase
Total: $.23
Get Back $.99 ECB

Love my green bag tag! Get $1 (ECB) for every 4 trips. I try to go in daily since it is on way to kids school. Wish they had ECB when I bought mine. Absolutely recommend making that transaction for those who don’t have one already.
Nicole says
I have one of the green bag tags and love it. I heard that if I bought a second I don’t earn double credits towards my ECB if I used two for purchases. Do you know if that is true? Will I still only get one “credit” per purchase?? I know there are other benefits to buying a second… but just curious…
Shannon says
Just out of curiousity… are these the only two transactions that you personally will be making this week at CVS?
Tiffany says
I don’t know!!! It is my plan, I don’t really need anything else. But you never know what you will find… I try to post my personal trip plan but it usuAlly ends up changing a bit.
Shannon says
Awesome 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to answer that for me.

Well I am knew to “extreme couponing”. I have be couponing since I was a teenager but never really saved more than $30 or $40 dollars. After seeing Tiffany I figure she is locally and she can do it so why not me? This is what I have done over the weekend
Went to CVS yesterday scanned my card and got a $3.00 birthday ECB. I was going to go to Wal-mart to get the Airwick refills, they typically charge 4.98 for a twin pack and I had 3 $1.00 coupons. Well I get to CVS and found that they were on sale there for $5.00 and with a $20 purchase you get $10 ECBs. Needless to say after watching Tiffany, purchased at CVS.

@Nichole – CVS recognizes 1 transaction for a green leaf per day. If you have more than 1 transaction in 1 day, you can use a 2nd green tag for your 2nd transaction. Get $1 back for every 4 uses, so if have 2 tags, you are earning off of 2 tags. Truthfully, can be a lot to keep track of if you aren’t in a habit to use 2nd leaf. I also randomly deal with cashier who doesn’t want to bother to scan it because they think I only get 1 credit per day. I stay polite and ask them to humor me and just scan the thing. That has been my experience….. hope that answers your question.

Your video for CVS 101 isn’t working from any link! 🙁 I’ve really been wanting to learn how to save at drugstores now that I’ve got a good grip on the others!

Hmmm, sorry about that! Go to http://www.youtube.com and search for “mylitter cvs” and you will find it.
