CVS Shopping Trip 6/3/12

2012-06-03T18:11:00.000-04:00

CVS Shopping Trip 6/3

This week will be the start to a new series on weekly CVS shopping trips and deal scenarios. The goal is to maximize weekly specials with coupons and roll extra care bucks (ECBs). Each week the scenarios will show how to use the least amount of out-of-pocket money while buying products that most people use regularly. At the end of every post, I will be showing you the value of the purchases, the out-of-pocket paid, and the total ECBs printed. I hope you will join me on this adventure to explore the potential savings of the drug store game!

If you are a beginner to CVS, you can start out slow and just do Transaction 1 or 2. Start slow and try not to overwhelm yourself the first trip. This is also a great time to remind you of the workshops that Melissa is going to have this month. Topics like this are discussed in-depth. Go here to sign up.

The rest of the CVS deals this week are here.

Please feel free to leave a comment with any questions that you may have about this weeks trip. I would also love the hear about your trip!!
