CVS Trip #1


So this isn't really the first trip to CVS I've had, but its the first one that I felt was good enough for a post. I'm learning how CVS works slowly, but surely. So CVS uses Extra Care Bucks (ECB) to get you coming back. When you buy certain items, you receive ECB back. These ECB can be put towards your next purchase similar to how a giftcard might work. So the challenge is to continuously roll your ECB so you never pay much more than just tax for your items. So, going into this week, I had $6.99 ECB from last week.

Total Before Coupons: $28.34
Total After Coupons: $0.53
Total ECB for next week: $13

This week I made $12.47 shopping at CVS!

  1. Wow Kalli! I can't believe how good you are doing with this! If I could buy everything I needed the way you do, I'd have tons of money just sitting around! And, I know how much you like math, so this must be really fun for you!! Maybe I can start to use more coupons and save enough to come visit you!

  2. I'm concerned with how much time you spend couponing. How much time does it take when you are in line to process all the coupons?
