I am still trying to figure out why that was in four transactions though... maybe I am missing something.

CVS is best worked (most times) when you break your purchases up into several transactions and pay w/ ECB's earned from the previous transaction. Most all CVS couponers do this.

I just recently started using my CVS Caremark card instead of the old red card. Here's what I did today.

Bought:
(2) CVS paper towels single roll $1.29
(1) CVS Aloe Cool & Fresh lotion carry-on size $1.49
(1) CVS shampoo Fresh Kiwi 18 oz $.99

Used:
(2) $1/1 CVS paper product
(1) $1/1 CVS skin care product
(1) $1/1 CVS hair care product
- $1.02 Caremark card discount

Subtotal: $0.04
Tax: $0
OOP: $0.04!

Normally I would have to pay 8.5% sales tax on everything, but since the CVS coupons reduce the taxable total there was no tax calculated. This is my lowest OOP ever at CVS. Granted, I didn't buy much, but I'm still excited about it.

I also used my Green Bag tag. If I can stop by the store three more times this week, I'll earn $1 greenbag ecb. Then it'll be a money-maker!

I went to CVS earlier this week, and this is what I got:

2 Pantene shampoos
1 Reese's dark chocolate
2 Leap Frog wipe-off boards
3 Stride gums

I paid $4.82 oop.

I had $2 ECBs, 55 cents off the Reese's candy q, $3/2 Pantene, and a B2G1 q for the gum. And I got $2.99 back in ECBs.

Gotta brag about what I did today,

Two Olay facial cleansers at $6.99 each.

Two CVS apricot acne scrubs (travel size), $1.49 each.

Two CVS makeup remover wipes, 99 cents each.

Two CVS cocoa butter moisturizer sticks, 99 cents each.

I used the following coupons: two $5 off any Olay Regenerist facial cleanser (P&G coupon book); 4 $1 off any CVS skin care item (CVS scanner); and 2 $1 off any CVS paper product (CVS scanner); and one $4/$20 facial care product purchase (CVS scanner).

My total before tax came to 96 cents. I had a 99 cent ECB to cover that, so the only thing I had to pay out of pocket was sales tax.

And the Olay purchases will count toward the latest Olay rebate.

Gotta love those CVS scanners!
