CVS Weekly Trip

I ventured out to CVS while my oldest was in dance class, so I just had the baby with me.  I figured this is going to be the best time for me to do my weekly CVS shopping.  Here is what I snagged and unfortunately I did two transactions and messed up BUT CVS has the BEST customer service of any store I’ve ever been to and the cashier really helped me out. 

I was going for the Oral B toothbrush deal (spend $10 and get $5 ECBs).  I got four of the toothbrushes and armed myself with my coupons and headed to the check out.

(4) Oral B Toothbrushes @ 2.99

But I get to the counter and they all ring up at different prices… two for 3.79, one at 4.99 and one at .94!

I had two BOGO coupons so that took off the .94 and one 3.79

I attempted to use two coupons on the other two toothbrushes BUT they were expired (the day before)

My total came out to $10.78 (FYI… I also had a small bag of dum dums because I bribed the baby into being good)

I used a gift card to pay (from filling a prescription oh so long ago)

I get my receipt and there are NO ECBs!  So, I’m disappointed and read it and it says I need to spend an additional $1.48 to earn that reward.  I head back to the toothbrushes again and go ahead and pick one up.  Then, I remembered I had a $4/20 ECB that I could use so I got one more toothbrush and picked up (2) Crest Prohealth Mouthwashes at $3.97 (buy 2 and earn $5 ECBs) and 1 Colgate Max Whitening toothpaste, not the tube but the other container thing they use that was on clearance for .82.  I have coupons for the Mouthwashes and the toothpaste.

I go to the counter and explain to the guy that I forgot I had the $4/20 ECB so did I need to do a refund on the original transaction and just do it all over again or what did I need to do?  He just asked for the ECB coupon, pushed some buttons on the register and handed me $4 in cash!  Wow… didn’t know they could do that.  This is how this transaction ended up…

(2) Crest Pro Health Mouth Wash @ 3.97 each

(2) .75 MQ

Cost = $6.44

Earned $5 ECB

(1) Colgate Max White toothpaste @ .82

Used (1) .75 MQ

Cost = .07

Total = $10.41

Used the gift card again for the remaining $7.96 that was on it

Total due = $2.45

Used the cash he gave me from the $4/20 ECB

I left with $1.55 cash from the $4/20 ECB that he cashed out for me and $10 in ECBs

On my first receipt a $25 gift card with a new prescription was on it, so I went back to the pharmacy and transferred one of my prescriptions so I will be getting yet another $25 gift card from CVS tomorrow night.  I’m very excited about starting back to my CVS shopping.  Very excited.
