Here is my CVS Shopping Scenario for 7/15. Because we have the $4/$20 CVS coupon printing at the coupon center Sunday – Wednesday, I’ve created one big transaction.
In this scenario you’ll get $20.23 in merchandise, spend $8.73 out of pocket and get back $6.75 ECB, making it just $1.98 for EVERYTHING! That’s like paying $0.33 for each item! 🙂

wow. That’s amazing. I am going to do the exact scenario. I’m kinda new to couponing and nervous about using a coupon on the free right guard total defense. Is that allowed?
I looked up the coupon policy and it is allow on a B1G1. yay
Yes you can. 🙂
Lookkk better deal if you buy 4 colgate max fresh +++ 1 schick hydro razor +++ 1 unreal bar use the 4 and 20.00 first use 4 colgate 1.00. O .75 coupon ++++ 4.00 razor .COupon pay 9.02 and get 9.75 === .73 money maker
I bought the $7.99 Nature Made, $9.99 Sally Hansen, .75 Unreal Bar, .77 Sierra Mist and .50 Arizona Tea which equaled $20 exactly (how often does that actually happen?). I used the $4/$20, $3 CVS S. Hansen q, $1 S. Hansen Manu q, $3 CVS any vitamin q, $2 CVS Nature Made q (wasn’t sure if I could use both the CVS and N.M. vitamin q’s but they said 1 was general q and 1 was a specific brand so I could use both), $1 Mature Made Manu q and $6 ECB’s. Total was $0 and I got back $8.75 in ECB’s.
I also shopped for my mom. I bought her $10.00 4 Colgate Advanced Toothpastes , $7.99 Nature Made, .75 Unreal Bar and $2.37 Comb which equaled $21.11. I used $4/$20, 3 $1 Colgate Advanced, .50 Colgate, $2 CVS N.M q, $1 N.M manu q, $2 CVS hair accessory and $8 ECB’s. Total was .61 and I got back $10.75 in ECB’s.
Read somewhere that the $4/$20 coupon expires in 1 day, is that true ? Need to know as I am usually not that capable of doing deals immediately upon receiving CVS coupons.
I got a good deal–4 Colgate, the Nature Made deal, and some candy bars; paid 7.37 OOP and got back 10.75 in ECBs, so I “made” almost 3 dollars. I’m happy with that!
My 4/20 expires Thursday.
I was in cvs today to pick up a gallon of milk, the candy bar that was free after EB and also used a coupon from the machine to get CVS brand face wipes for free. When my receipt printed the cashier put a $ sticker next to the EB for the milk and the EB for the candy bar. Does anyone know what those stickers are for? I didn’t want to hold up the line by asking her.

Do you know the limit on the Colgate Max Fresh? Is it a Limit of 2? If it’s 2/$5.00, then can you get only 2 of them, or can you get 4 of them? (Sorry, don’t have the ad to look at!)
Thank you! 🙂
I bought 4 and got back $6 ECBs
Limit 2 🙂
Thanks Valencia & Christie!
Limit 2 ECB’s so you can buy 4 Colgate and get back 2 ECB’s
The “$” sticker is just to remind you that you have ECB’s so you don’t throw them away…I have only had one cashier every put one of those stickers on my receipt and I asked 🙂
Thanks! That makes sense…it got my attention for sure!
