My CVS Loot for the Week of 5/30!

Posted on 1:27 PM No Comments
Labels: , ,
Here's what I scored at CVS this week! You can see my shopping plan here, with a list of what I bought and what coupons I used!

(Click images to see them larger)



















Spent $3.81 out of pocket, used $10 ECBs, and earned back $12 ECBs. I still have $16 ECBs from last week, so my new ECB total is $28!


My scenarios for next week (6/6/10) are already posted here!! Go see how I'm planning to get around $90 worth of items for only $1.97 out of pocket, and GROW my ECBs! :)

**If you're new to the CVS game this post won't make much sense to you. Go here first to read my Beginner's Guide to CVS and learn everything you need to know. Then read the rest of this post for tips on how to make the game work for you, too!


Ok, I already have my CVS scenarios ready for next week, super early! I couldn't help myself, there were so many possibilities, I wanted to get them down on paper and play with them and see how low I could get my total and how much stuff I could score for free!
