I thought I would do a video of my trip to CVS so that you could see some examples of how to make a transaction.
It sounded like a good idea…. before I spent all day at my kids baseball and softball games in the 90 degree heat. I should have showered, put on make up and wore a formal for you, but I am a real person and just didn’t have the time!
Onto the deals!
Transaction #1
4 Tide at $6 each
1 Dawn at $1 each
Used a $5/25 CVS purchase HERE
Used 4 $1/1 Tide coupons from todays P&G insert
Used 1 $1/1 Dawn from home mailer
Used $10 ECB from last week
Total: $5.31 Got back $10 in ECB’s
This is where I made a mistake… I wanted my total to be over $10 after coupons, so I could use my $10 ECB from the 1st purchase, but wasn’t paying attention because of the camera ๐
Transaction #2
1 Razor at $9.99
1 Toothbrush $.99
2 CVS cashew at $.99 each
Used $2/10 CVS coupon
Used $2 off 2 CVS nuts
Used $4 razor coupon from P&G today
Total was $5.36 Got back $6 back in ECB’s $5 of the razor and $1 for the toothbrush
Then I did this same transaction with my husbands card.
Wasn’t it interesting how the cashier was asking me questions about their program!

You are so cute with your Southern twang ! This is my process too and I think it's brillant you made this video, your cashier seemed to be a real sweetheart.
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering about holding up the line. You are cute! ๐
This is a great video, and I am new to couponing. I have been trying to get the other videos that were posted on the old site and have been unable to. I can get to the "Organizing Coupons" video but it only stays on for about 6 seconds and then switches over to your other site. Please help!
