Wow…thats pretty awesome. I have always wanted to try CVS however I’m not for sure where to start. Most of the match up for ECB are women related so it’s harder with men who have no children. Any suggestions???

Seth, I have a reader that is a single guy in college and he kills it at CVS for him and when he gets “girl” stuff he gives it away. He is really cool! A lot of the items I post and trips are form womans with kids just because those are most of the readers. HOWEVER, I would love to post deals that you do, they are out there I just dont get them sent in!! I buy ALL the mens items my husband and 14 year old son use at CVS. I will start posting those trips more! Many of the items for razors carry over and you can get either mens or womens, same with the shampoo etc. Just grab the mens instead!

Seth don’t let the womens products scare you away!! Even if you can’t get the mens version of something if its FREE get it and tuck it away you can make GREAT gift baskets with all of it for Christmas or Birthdays!! I did gift baskets this year for Christmas and they were a HUGE hit!! I included a little something personal in each one but even with those little things it was very inexpensive yet NICE gift that everyone can appreciate 🙂

I see you got some pretty good ECB amounts back, whats the easiest way to put together such an awsome transaction? Im so limited on my time, so I dont have time to run around to store after store looking for whats the best deal…I do try and watch the ads but I just havent got any REALLY good deals going on the drugstores yet….any words of wisdom to get one going?
Tiffany says
