CVS Scenarios for 1/4

[domeafavor]

My plan this week is just to generate ECBs while buying stuff I'll actually use. Currently, I have $10 in ECBs... so my plan was:

First Transaction:
2 Throat Coolers - $9.98 EARN $9.98
2 Soy Joy 6pks - $12 EARN $12
Garnier Fructis - $2.99 EARN $2
2 Palmolive - $1.94 (need this)

Total: $26.91

-$4.99 Throat Cooler B1G1 q
-$10 ECB

Total: $11.92, Earn $23.98 in ECBs

Second Transaction:
Listerine Whitening Pen $10
Listerine Whitening Strips $10 EARN $10 (J&J Promo)
2 Throat Coolers $9.98 EARN $4.99
2 NutraTrim Gum $3.99 EARN $7.98
Cottonelle 20 pk $12.97 EARN $3

Total: $50.93

-$4.99 Throat Cooler B1G1 q
-$2.00 Whitening Pen q
-$3.00 Whitening Strips q
-50c Cottonelle q
-$23.98 ECBs

Total: $16.46, earn $25.97



Anyone have any ideas on how I can lesson my OOP, or earn more ECBs on cheap products? Only thing I can figure out is to split this into a ton of transactions, and I really hate going back to the register a bunch of times.

I'm still new at this so I don't have any suggestions for how you can pay less OOP if you only want to do two transactions. But there were MQs that came out 1/4 for both the Garnier and Palmolive, if you have those available to you.

[thriftymomintraining]

on your first transaction-buy th soyjoy(find a coupon if there is one out there)and the fructis(use a $1.00 off from 1/4) total oop will be approx.$11(use your $10 and pay $1.00 OOP) but get back $16ECB
transaction2:
can you buy 3 throat coolers use 1 B1G1(since the limit is 5) both listerin things both gums and cottonelle Total OOP would be$55.92 us the $10/$50 use the B1G1 tc
OOP would be$16.xx and get $35.97 in ECB I beleive(someone check my math)

Here's how I did the J&J Deal.
