Before I started working today I wanted to give a really quick break down of the items that I purchased from CVS this week. I am planning on going back for a few things tomorrow but I will explain that in a few minutes.
I did six transactions in total and I spent 15.47 before tax on 213.93 dollars worth of products that you see in the picture above. That means that I saved 93 percent on my transactions. I also walked away with 9 ECBs in my pocket and I received 12 dollars in CVS beauty bucks for my purchase.
Beauty bucks work the same as ECBs, meaning that you can use them like cash on any purchase. You receive 3 beauty bucks for every 30 dollars you spend (BEFORE coupons) on beauty products.
So here is my first transaction. If you remember, last week I walked away with 4 ECBs and 9 Beauty Bucks at the end of all of my transactions. This means I started my week with 13 FREE dollars to spend.
Transaction 1:
I purchased 2 Revlon Superlust lipsticks, normally priced at 8.79 on sale for 4.99 with your card
I also purchased 2 Rimmel eyeliners for 4.79 each
My last item was 1 Rimmel Brow Pencil for 4.79
Before coupons, my total was 31.95 (before tax)
I used three of the 2/1 Rimmel coupons that I have been using the past couple of weeks
as well as 1 of the BOGO Revlon coupons that were in this past week's paper.
I also used my 13 ECBs from the previous week.
After coupons and ECBs, my total was 36 CENTS! I saved 99 PERCENT!!
I also got back 8 ECBS for spending 12 on Rimmel and 4 ECBS for spending 10 on Revlon leaving me with 12 ECBS for my next transactions.
Transaction 2:
This time I purchased 6 of the Revlon lipsticks, regularly priced at 8.79 on sale for 4.99 with your CVS card.
My total before coupons was 52.74 before tax.
I used 3 of the BOGO Revlon Coupons as well as the 12 ECBS that I received in the last transaction.
This brought my total down to 2.97 before tax (94 percent savings) and I received 12 ECBS to use on the next transaction. Remember the deal is that if you spend 10 on Revlon (before coupons and ECBs) you get 4 ECBs back. You can do this up to 6 times!
Transaction 3:
I purchased 4 more Revlon lipstick
2 Pop-arazzi nail polish (the deal is that these are 2/5 and you get 4 ECBs when you buy 2)
I used 2 more Revlon BOGO coupons
and the 12 ECBS that I received at the end of the last transaction.
Before my coupons, my total was 41.14 and after it was 2.98 before tax for a 93 percent savings
Transaction 4-
Covergirl is giving ECBs as well. If you spend 15 you receive 6 ECBs.
I purchased 1 Covergirl mascara at 8.49
As well as 1 Covergirl pressed powder at 8.69
My total before coupons was 17.18
I used 1 CoverGirl face product coupon that was 2/1
as well as one CoverGirl Mascara coupon that was 2/1
I had a 4 dollar off CoverGirl purchase CRT that I used
I also used 4 of my ECBs (still leaving me with 8) and I paid 5.18 OOP before tax. However, I received 6 more ECBs back. I saved 70% on this transaction.
Transaction 5-
I purchased 2 Aquaphor healing ointment 3 ounces for 10.99 each.
If you spend 20 on Aquaphor right now, you will get 10 ECBs back.
So I used 2 of the 2/1 coupons as well as the 8 ECBS I had and the 6 that I earned in the last transaction.
I paid 3.98 out of pocket saving 82 percent and I received 10 ECBs back
Transaction 6-
Right now, if you spend 20 on certain hair cair products you will get 5 dollars in ECBs Pantene qualifies for this deal. So I purchased 6 Pantene conditioner (because we go through conditioner way faster than shampoo for some reason) These are on sale for 3/12. We also have a coupon for 5 off of 3. On top of that, I had a CRT for 5 off of Pantene which brought my total down to 9 dollars. I paid 9 ECBs and I received 5.
Transaction 7-
I purchased 1 sundown organics Stress Escape supplement normally 19.99 and on sale for 9.99. We have a 10/1 coupon that makes them FREE!
Now, I said that I have to go back to CVS tomorrow. The reason for this is that I have at least 9 more of the sundown coupons that I want to use. I only took one with me on this trip because I wanted to see if they would honor the deal. They did and I am going back!
When I walked out of the store I had 9 paper ECBs from rolling them in the transactions and 8 hours later, I received 12 beauty bucks. Now it gets even better! I was all excited to start my week next week with 21 ECBs (meaning that I made almost 6 dollars by making these purchases) BUT... Yesterday I received an email survey from CVS and at the end of it, they gave me another 10 ECBs!!!
What am I going to do with 31 ECBs next week?!!! I hope the deals are amazing because I can barely contain myself!
