Since hubby needed some ThermaCare heat wraps this weekend, I blew through my ECBs from last week. That meant starting this week with ZERO! I figured it would be a slow start, and I'd be making many trips to boost my ECB total back up, but I was wrong! What a great week to be working up from zero!
I went to one CVS store and did two transactions. I walked away with $9.99 in ECBs! Now I'll carefully plan one more trip for this week and begin to use those wisely.
Here's how I went from 0 to 9.99 today...

4 Cover Girl Outlast Lipsticks (for gifts) $9.99 each
2 Colgate Total Advance $2.99 each

I would have used $2 from the first transaction to pay for the second one, but I got both Colgate ECB deals together. So I have $4 ECBs and $5.99 ECBs. I hated to waste them, so I paid OOP for both. Not a bad day for $4.36!
I now need to devise a plan to get dishwasher soap and more ThermaCare heat wraps. What a great week!!!

Use the $2 Q http://www.arnicare.com/files/subpage/Arnicare_Coupon_ex123108.pdf to get Arnicare for $8.99 and get $8 back in ECBs. Can then use ECBs to get again, four more times. Can help, in addition to the heat wraps.
I am always looking for ways to get free dishwasher detergent too. Just this morning I saw a girl use this scenerio...
Buy dishwasher soap ($3.49 this week at CVS), buy the Arnicare for $8.99 (limit 5). Your order total will be $12.48. Use $2.00 Arnicare coupon (posted by previous poster), use $1.00 dishwasher coupon in this weekends P&G, use CVS $2/$10 coupon PLUS you'll get $8.00 back in ECBs.
Order total: $12.48
Coupons used: $5.00
ECBs back: $8.00
Profit of .50!!!
To be honest, I'm not sure if the $1.00 dishwasher coupon will work (looks like it's for the 'complete'), but even if you don't have a coupon at all this is still a good deal with your end cost of only .50.
