CVS has a deal going on this week SPEND $25 get $10 ECB back. The Limit on this deal is 2 per household. So pretty much spend $50 (before coupons) and get $20 ECB back.When I first started couponing I was told that "you can't be brand loyal." I had been holding out on my Viva Paper Towels and Cottonelle Bath Tissue (the purple kind). Well that has come and gone!! I have found that we are going through so many paper towels!! I just can't believe it. I was starting to feel bad for using so many of my "good" Viva paper towels. So I have started using Scott. They are not the softest in the world but hey they get the job done. I held out a little longer on the bath tissue. I just love my purple Cottonelle. The Extra Soft Scott is still not as soft but it's not "Tech Squares" either.
I also wanted to share with you something that I learned today. This deal is a GREAT example to use.
This week special is spend $25 get $10 ECB.
I completed 2 different transactions
In the first transaction I purchased (3) $10 items equaling $30 (not including tax). That total is $5 over the needed amount to receive the $10 ECB in the spend $25 get $10 ECB back. The $5 that I went over will transfer over to the next transaction in the same deal. That is why in my second transaction I only had to purchase $20.The computer will add the $5 from the 1st transaction to the second transaction equaling $25. On the second transaction I only spent $20 out of pocket (before coupons) and the computer added the $5 that I spent over on the 1st transaction = $25 so I could get $10 ECB back and only spend $20.

(This way before coupons you would only spend $50 instead of $60.) You can only do this if the limit is over 1 per household and its with in the same deal.
Here's the deal... I did two different transactions.
The first transaction was (2) bath tissues and one paper towel pack and (2) .89 Twix bars. I had (2) $1.00 off CVS Twix coupons so the Twix were a money maker. Other coupons I used on the first transaction were .. an 89 cent, $5, and (2) $10 ECB. One 75 cent off bath tissue and $2.00 off bath tissue and paper towels.
The second Transaction was a bath tissue and a paper towel pack. I used my $10 ECB earned from the first transaction (this is called rolling) and another $2.00 off bath tissue and paper towels. I received $10 in ECB back to use next week.

All that to say 3 packages of bath tissue and 2 packages of paper towels for $9.14 before tax and $14.13 including tax. This is money spent out of pocket and does not include the ECB that I have to use next time.
I have $10 in ECB that I will use next week.
I think this is a pretty good deal.
Hope that all made sense!!
Happy Couponing!!!!
I wanted to say hey to Susie L.
