If you’re new to CVS and don’t have any ECB from a previous shopping trip to use on the first transaction then the amount you pay will be your “seed money”. “Seed money” is the money you pay out of pocket to get your first Extra Care Bucks (ECB) to use on future purchases.
Last week we ended up with $5.00 in ECB ($4 from Suave + $1 Herbal Essences/Aussie) . I will be incorporating these into this week’s scenario.
We’ll be getting $51.00 worth of product for $11.99 (+ any applicable sales tax) out of pocket and have $3 ECB to use next week. That’s a savings of about 77%!
Beauty Club members will also have $51.00 in purchases that will trigger $5 ECB the next time you check out or the next time you scan your card (usually takes 24 hours to show up)
Save your $3.00 in ECB (+ your $5 Beauty Club ECB) as we will use it in next week’s scenario
