How To Make The Most Of Your ECB!



Last week I stopped by CVS and purchased the Gain and the Soft Soap that were on sale, and received a $4 and a $2 ECB. Here's how I will use them this week:

Transaction 1
Oral B Toothbrush $4.00
- $.75 coupon
(2) Nivea Lip Care $2.99
- $1.00 coupon
- B1G1 Free coupon
Dawn Dish Washing Soap $.97
-$.25 coupon
_______________________
$5.96
-$6.00 in ECB from last week (I will actually loose $.04 here, but no big deal)
_______________________
$0 out of pocket (excluding tax of course)

Get Back $4.00 ECB from the Oral B Toothbrush and $2.99 ECB from Nivea Lip Care

Transaction 2
Oral B Toothbrush $4.00
- $.75 coupon
Dawn Dish Washing Soap $.97
-$.25 coupon
________________________
$3.97
-$4.00 ECB from previous transaction (again I'll lose $.03)
________________________
$0 out of pocket

Get back $4.00 ECB from the Oral B Toothbrush

Transaction 3
4 Kelloggs Cereal $10
- $1.50/2 coupon
- $1.50/2 coupon
_______________________
$7.00
-$4.00 ECB from Transaction 2
-$2.99 ECB from Transaction 1
_______________________
$.01 out of pocket

Get Back $5.00 ECB

This is actually a good week to get started if you do not have any ECB because there are free items, (Oral B Toothbrush and Nivea Lip Care) and using coupons actually make these money makers. If you do not have any ECB use the above scenario to get over $20 in products for $5.24 end with $5.00 in ECB. Just change Transaction 1 to the following:
Transaction 1
Oral B Toothbrush $4.00
- $.75 coupon
(2) Nivea Lip Care $2.99
- $1.00 coupon
- B1G1 Free coupon
_______________________
$5.24

Transactions 2 and 3 will be the same.
