My daughter is getting married this summer and we are doing a candy buffet for favors. I need green M&M's and they are pricey, even in bulk ($9.99 lb). I had a $25 gift card for transferring a prescription to CVS, $2 birthday EB, $4 off $20 EB, manufacturers coupons and I earned multiple $2 EB splitting my transactions up. I also had them price match to Rite Aide's sale . So I got 18 bags of M&M's for a total investment of $4 with $2 EB to spare! I figure that I have saved myself over $14o if I had to buy in bulk and pay the shipping. I love reading your challenges and I want to share my success today!

CVS does not base their ECB program on the actual $ spent OOP. So, as long as you buy $20 Worth of the PepsiCo products before coupons, you can spend as little OOP after coupons and ECBs and still receive your ECBs. .-= Stephanie @ Couponing 101´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Couponing101/~3/L3f60khruzM/the-childrens-place-adult-fleece-jackets-3-39.html" rel="nofollow">The Children’s Place Adult Fleece Jackets $3.39</a> =-. Meredith,

You just have to buy “$20 Worth.” CVS does not base their ECB program on the actual $ spent OOP. So, as long as you buy $20 Worth of the PepsiCo products before coupons, you can spend as little OOP after coupons and ECBs and still receive your ECBs.

To get the $10 ECB for the Pepsi stuff, you have to "spend" $20. If you do 4 bags of Tostitos at 2/$7 ($14) and 2 bags of Stacy's Chips at 2/$6 = $20. Will you still get the $10 ECB if you use $1 off coupons for the Stacey's chips, making it actually $18 OOP? I have a question. To get the $10 ECB for the Pepsi stuff, you have to “spend” $20.
