I am beginning to hate my neighborhood CVS. They are very rude and scrutinize every purchase that I make and every coupon that I use, it is becoming very frustrating!! Anyway, this is what I got today:
3 American Greeting cards $2.97
2 Loreal eyeliner $4.10 (clearance)
2 Duracell batteries: $5.98
1 Throat cooler $4.99 (only one left, I wanted to use my bogo coupon but I can never find two and the month is wasting away)
1 Nutratrim gum $3.99
Coupons:
$12 ecbs
$5 CVS Duracell coupon (see secret below)
$2 Loreal eye makeup
$2 Loreal eye makeup
$0.75 Duracell
Total:
$.45
ECBs back $12
Here is the secret: When you make a purchase using ecbs and the $5 CVS Duracell coupon, the ecbs won't go through. The cashier says "it will only take $5" or whatever... have them scan your card again! I did it today and it worked. The manager (Diego the $#%*) scanned my card at the beginning. At the end he said, "sorry you can't use your ecbs." I asked him to scan my card again, then scan the ecbs. It worked and he said "is that your little trick?" and then when my receipt printed out he looked it over for a long time. I swear he thinks I'm robbing him, but I'm just a smarter shopper then him.
Another secret: Inland Empire shoppers, the Rialto store doesn't have 99 cent greeting cards (except Valentine for kids, my mom and I checked almost every card) but the San Bernardino store on University has a whole 99 cent section that is pretty much untouched. I usually buy the 99 cent ones at Walmart but these ones are much better quality!!
