I thought this week at CVS was just OK (still dreaming on the sales the week before Christmas). But, I managed to find a few things. Unfortunately, they only had 1 of the Throat Coolers in stock, so I couldn’t use my B1G1 Free coupon…but it was still free after ECB’s. For help with the coupon terminology, see my Coupons 101 post.
Purchased:
(2) Colgate Total toothpaste 6 oz. $5.00/2
(2) Glade Scented Oil refills 2 ct. $5.49 each ($10.98)
Garnier Fructis 2 in 1 shampoo $2.99
Children’s Throat Cooler $4.99
Used:
(2) $1.00 Colgate Total QP’s from 1/4 S
B1G1 Glade refill QP (rang up as $5.99 off)
$1.00 Garnier QP from 1/4 S
I wasn’t able to use it, but if you can find 2 throat coolers, B1G1 from 12/7 S and get 2 for free after ECB’s
$14.97 ECB’s from previous weeks
Total OOP: $0.24
ECB’s Received:
$4.00 for Glade ($2.00 per Glade refill)
$4.99 for Throat Coolers
$2.00 for Colgate Total
$2.00 for Garnier Fructis
Total ECB’s Received: $12.99

I think that they could have printed you a $5 ECB. They were out at my store and I told the cashier that I should get a rain check for the free one. She told me that she’ll do even better than that and printed a $5 ECB for the throat cooler, but I’m sure that I can use it for anything.
They sales are very dismal this week, but you still had a good trip.
Interesting, Hadias. I didn’t even think to mention that I had the coupon. I plan on waiting until they’re in stock again, and get 2 more for free after ECB’s and the coupon (since it’s a limit of 2).
I’m not sure what the limit is on the throat coolers but it is more than the 2 it lists in the book. I’ve bought 4 so far and it still doesn’t say on my receipt that I’ve maxed out on the product.
My store has been out of them since Wed. hopefully they’ll get some more in next week so I can get some more ECBs
