Today I paid $0 out of pocket for $1.78 worth of items. I had $2 ECB from the last time and since I will be travelling for a month and will not have access to CVS I decided to spend them even though I was going to ‘lose’ money on this transaction.
I sort of made money on one pack because it cost $0.89 and I got back $0.99 in ECBs. I had to pay the full price for the second pack.

Join me next time as I look for more ways to save money as I visit CVS.
Cool – it doesn’t seem like you save much when it’s such a small amount but after time it does add up a lot. Way to Go!
I’m always at CVS. I don’t think it’s worth it to open a card with them though. Does anyone have any experience with being a card-holding member? Do you get any extra perks?
