Now in any ordinary circumstance double dipping is not pleasant and frowned upon. But in the coupon world, double dipping can be a great thing! Double dipping at CVS means your store's sales for the next week go active in the computer systems the night before the sale. For instance I went to CVS at 7:00 on Saturday night and was able to purchase things for the sale that starts on Sunday! This can work out great for many different reasons. One of the main reasons I wanted to double dip into the sales pot is because I had a $10/$40 CVS coupon that was emailed to me and there wasn't enough stuff on sale for the current week that I needed. Here's what I got and what it cost me.
2 Colgate Mouthwash 250ml
2/$5.98 receive $2 ECB
2 Chex Mix
2/$4.00 receive $2 ECB
Diet Coke
.99
Sunday's Sales:
3 Almay Eyeshadows
$5.79 each and $3 ecb for each on you buy with a limit of 3
2 Colgate Mouthwash 500ml
$5.79 each and get $5 ECB when you spend $10
I used my $10/$40 CVS coupon, 4 $2/1 Colgate mouthwash coupons, 2 $.50/1 Chex coupon and 3 $4/1 Almay makeup coupons.
Total before store sales, coupons, and $10 ECB: $51.88
Total After sales, coupons and ECB: -$1.33
Yes that is a NEGATIVE SIGN!! I got it all free and had my overage go towards my tax!
And I got back $18 in ECB!
