Loving My ECBs!!

2008-01-15T13:41:00.000-05:00

For some reason I didn't know you could stack your ECBs! I thought you could only use one ECB per transaction!

Last night was the ultimate CVS trip! Here's my loot:

I got all this for $3.64 OOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that!!! And I paid for that with my CVS gift card! I used some $2/10 and $4/20 CVS coupons and some manufactures coupons from the Sunday paper! It's amazing! I am so in love!

The only down side is I have no more ECBs left!! Let's hope next week is a good week!

Welcome to my Crazy Sexy Savings Blog! I am a recent addict to the CVS savings game! I discovered this game/shopping strategy by reading Bonnie's blog. Thank you Bonnie for indoctrinating me and sharing the wealth!

My first CVS adventure was last night (Saturday). I didn't do too well. The clerk made a mistake and forgot to ring something up. Needless to say I was in line for 25 minutes! I did get some great things for cheap!

So, tonight, I went out-- again!!

Here's what I got

first transaction
