CVS Overhaul 5/19

Here's the breakdown of my latest shopping spree at CVS! Because I downloaded the CVS app and linked my card, I got $3.00 ExtraBucks (EB), plus I had $4.50 quarterly EB and $3.00 EB from a previous shopping trip. 

This is a lesson on how using your EB on products for even more EB gets you the biggest bang for your buck.

Buy two Lysine ($11.79), use two $1.00/1 coupons and $3.00/$18.00 CVS vitamin coupon = $6.79

Colgate Total
Buy $10, Get $5 EB
Buy two large tubes at $4.99, use two $1.00/1 coupons [There coupons were from my dentist's office. Always check the counters when you're setting up your next appointment!], CVS coupon for 30% off toothpaste and $3.00/$10 CVS coupon for toothpaste = $1.98, plus get $5.00 EB
