Leaving a comment as you asked. I did go over the $5 by 46c…but it is because I included the 2 containers of coffee in my scenario. I also have another one made just for the Nivea deal…

What is an ECB? Stupid question, probably. But I just don’t know.

@Celen,
ecb is short for ExtraCareBucks (customer rewards program) at CVS.

Ok, this is the first week I really tried this and succeeded! I bought the $.99 reusable bag, the $.99 bag tag and a card for a total of$3.18, and got $.99 ECB for the tag. Then in the next transaction I bought 2 Starbucks Frappaccinos (2/$3) and used 2 $1 off coupons and the $.99 ECB for a grand total of $.01! So for $3.19 I got a greeting card, 2 Starbucks drinks, 1 reusable bag and 1 bag tag! I was pretty excited
And I’m already 1 scan closer to the ECB because of the bag tag!
