Here's my plan for CVS this afternoon:
Transaction #1
Buy:
1 Accu-Check Aviva glucose meter 9.99
No coupons for this transaction
OOP Cost: $9.99 plus tax
ECBs Earned: $9.99
** Rumor has it that there's a $9.99 rebate form inside the package! So I'm not using my ECBs for this purchase. Rebates are usually only issued for what you paid, so coupons decrease the rebate value. I have plenty to spend my ECBs on, so I'm using them for my next transaction and going for the full $9.99 rebate.
Transaction #2
Buy:
2 Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascaras Buy 1 - Get 1 Free
1 All Small & Mighty $4.49
1 Lady Speedstick $1.99
2 ThermaCare heat wraps $5.99 each
Merchandise Total: $18.46
Coupons:
FREE Rimmel mascara from All You Magazine (this month)
-$1 All from All You Magazine (last month)
-$0.75 Lady Speed Stick from today's newspaper insert
-$2.00 ThermaCare from All You Magazine (previous month?)
-$2.00 ThermaCare from All You Magazine (previous month?)
-$9.99 ECBs from Transaction #1
-$2.00 ECBs from last week
Total OOP: 72 cents plus tax
ECBs Earned: $2.00 (ThermaCare)
That's not a great outcome on the ECBs, but we're 100% out of laundry detergent, my deodorant is almost gone, and hubby's back is on the fritz. So these are very necessary items for us this week. Paying a bit OOP rather than full-price is just fine with me!
I'll let you know how the mascara works out!
