CVS Personal Challenge Update

My goodness! Every time I go to CVS lately, they are out of everything I want. I went Monday & found nothing. I went again today, just praying they restocked because I had 2 expiring ECB's - and I found most of what I wanted. So I was thankful for that.

Because of the CVS drought and my life being busy, I let 2 ECB'sexpire at the beginning of May :( But my experiment proves you can bea CVS slacker and still score lots of nearly free stuff!

Transaction #12 (from May 9)
$6.67: 2 boxes Frosted Mini-wheats
$3.34: 1 box Frosted Flakes
$3.99: 1 Adidas A3 Deodorant

Used $1 off Adidas Coupon
Used B1G1 Frosted Mini-wheats coupon in Vocalpoint mailer
Used $2.89 ECB
Used $4.00 ECB
Used $1.00 ECB

Put $1.78 on a gift card

Transaction #13
$7.98: 2 Speed Stick Pro deodorants
$2.99: 1 Colgate Total toothpaste

Used $1.50 off Colgate coupon (internet coupon from a while ago)
Used $2.00 ECB
Used $5.00 ECB

Put $2.59 on a gift card

Total spent so far: $21.61 (transactions 1-10) + $.97 + $1.78 + $2.59 - $10 rebate - $7.99 rebate = $8.96

ECB's earned: $17.98 (This does not include the ones I cashed in)

Profit: $8.18 (minus 2 42 cent stamps)

  1. Thanks for posting your challenge I think that this is great idea.... I think I am going to try and do this with a Gift card for taking survey's so that none of the monies come out of my pocket... Thanks a bunch!
