CVS $5 Scenario - Week of 10/2/11

If your store is busy, the polite thing to do is to pay for a  couple transactions and step aside to let the customers behind you check out.  This not only keeps the other customers happy, but puts less stress on the cashier. 

If you are following my CVS $5 Scenarios, you have $3.79 ECB to start this week's shopping. 

Take a look more of this week's CVS deals.

Transaction #1
purchase:
(2) Reach Toothbrush 2 packs @ $3.99 each = $7.98
use:
(2)  $2/1 Reach Toothbrush printable coupons -$4.00
ECB from last week - $3.79
= $0.19 + tax and get a $4 ECB

Transaction #2
purchase:
(5) Dove Hair Care Products @3.00 each = $15.00
use:
(1) B1G1 Dove Hair Care coupons (10/2/11 RP) - $6.00
(1) $0.75 Dove Hair Care printable coupon HERE or HERE = $0.75
ECB from previous transaction - $4.00
= $4.25 + tax and get a $5 ECB
Your cashier might or might not allow you to use two additional $0.75 coupons.

Total retail before sales & coupons: $35.93
Spent: $4.44 + tax for an 88% savings
And a $5 ECB to start next week's shopping

If you didn't start with the $3.79 ECB, you will spend $8.23 for this scenario - a 77% savings.
