CVS Trip

03/25/2012 By Charlene 5 Comments

I thought I’d post my quick CVS trip this morning since it worked out pretty well for Easter candy.

Transaction #1:

Bought 2 Easter candy singles $.50 each
Bought 1 CVS Brand Jelly Beans $.99
Use $1/2 Mars Candy singles from 3/18 RP
and Use $.25/1 Mars singles from CVS coupon scanner
Paid $.74

I got back a $.99 ECB for the jelly beans and a $1 ECB for the Mars singles

Transaction #2:

2 bags M&Ms $4.19 for 2 (Buy One Get One Free)
Used $1/2 M&Ms coupon from the CVS coupon scanner
and Used $1/2 Mars coupon from 3/18 RP
Total $2.19
Used $1 ECB from above and $.99 ECB from above

Paid $.19

So the grand total I spent was $.93 which I thought was pretty good. It would be a little cheaper if you have the $1.50/2 M&Ms coupon but remember you need a small filler if you do the same thing that I did or get your ECB adjusted down.

You can get more details about the CVS candy deals this week here and more information about the CVS coupon scanner here.

    There is a limit of TWO (2) on the jelly beans. So grab two or get a rain check. Also, I got back $2 ECB with the purchase of FOUR (4) of the Snickers singles this morning.

    Adrianna,

    I just personally didn’t want anymore candy than what I got but you can just change the scenario if you do want to get more! My ad says a limit of 1 on the Easter singles so maybe that was a mistake in the ad.

    I noticed when I went to do the deal that the in store promotions say you can do 2 of the Easter Singles and only 1 of the jelly beans, whereas the ad says the opposite. The ad says 1 easter singles and 2 jelly beans.
