On Saturday evenings at my CVS it is possible to do the previous and next weeks sales at one time. Double dipping. Many times I wait, taking a chance that things will be gone, but so that I can go at one time and hit 2 different weeks deals. I started with $13 in ECB’s from last week and had a few CVS coupons that I wanted to use, like a $5 off $40 and both little swimmers and Huggies CVS coupons.

I did make 5 transactions when I was in the store, for each one if there was another person in line, I went to the back of the line. It does take a little more time to make many transactions but well worth it!

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.

I had dreams of taking a picture of all the stuff I got for so little OOP. But alas, my CVS was out of some of the stuff I wrote on a list to buy. So I spent almost 15 minutes in store just trying to reconfigure to make sure I didn't have to spend a lot OOP, and only did 2 transactions. Still a decent outcome but this ECB business takes a while to figure out.P.S. I won't even mention the time I spent at home with my calculator trying to figure out which scenarios would be best for coupon and ECB use.
I wonder if my CVS starts sales the night before as well. I was disappointed when I went to CVS right after church today and all the razors were already gone! I should check on that.
