Cha-Ching

I love getting good deals. Hopefully you know that by now. Have you seen the Ikea commercial where the lady thinks she stole everything b/c she got such a good deal?




This is totally me all the time!! Last night I went to CVS and scored all of this for $2.12.
How did I do it? Here's how: I had $10 worth of CVS ECB (extra care bucks) to spend. I wanted to find a deal where I could roll my ECB and get things I needed.

Transaction #1:
2 Herbal Essence shampoo & conditioner $2.99 each
Total: $5.98
Minus $5 ECB
Total out of pocket: $.98 plus tax $1.06
Got back a $2 ECB

Transaction #2:
2 Herbal Essence shampoo & conditioner $2.99 each
Total: $5.98
Minus $5 ECB
Total out of pocket: $.98 plus tax $1.06
Got back a $2 ECB

So now I had $4 in ECB to spend on something else.

Transaction #3
1 Suave body wash $2
Total: $2
Minus $2 ECB
Total out of pocket: $0

Transaction #4
1 Suave body wash $2
Total $2
Minus $2 ECB
Total out of pocket: $0

I received the $10 in ECB b/c I signed up to be on the CVS Advisor Panel. All you have to do is go here and sign up. I completed a survey recently and I received $5 ECB. They will email you a survey to complete and if you qualify you will get different amounts of ECB for completing the survey. FREE MONEY PEOPLE....FREE!! My sister completed the survey and received $5 in ECB but she doesn't have a CVS nearby so she sent it to me. Thanks Jessica! So I went shopping.

**Note**
I had to do so many transactions b/c the ECB were not only under my name but my sister's name as well. So that meant my sisters card had to be scanned in order to get the ECB so that's why the cashier had to separate everything into different transactions. Even though I did so many transactions it didn't take long at all. Very easy!

Pin It!
