I read on one of the various CVS-y message boards that you could get a small size of CVS petroleum jelly for $1.99, use one of the $2 skincare coupons, and then get $1.99 in ECBs back. Exciting! Yeah, no. Either the deal was June-only and nobody realized it until it was too late or it never was a deal. I did get the free jelly though (didn't even pay tax) so it wasn't a huge problem.
The other rumor is that the towelettes that are listed in the July ECB book are giving the full amount ($2.99 back) and that the $2 skincare coupon works on those too. I plan to try that this Sunday.
AND I have gotten the following rebate checks this week: $3.49 for the Smart Rinse, $4.29 for the Tums Quik Pak, and $2.99 for Pert Plus (bought at Publix, paid 99 cents for the shampoo OOP). I also got a free bowl from Smart Source cereal (and I got the cereal for free with ECBs). So one could say that these offset my OOP spending at CVS. I won't add them into the calculations, but I did want to toss that out there.
So. Bought 1 jar of CVS brand petroleum jelly - $1.99
Used $2 skincare coupon.
Paid nothing, got nothing.
(And got no quarterly ECBs because my OOP was so low - hooray! My other card got 50 cents.)
