Black Friday Parts 2 and 3




I went and exchanged the Energy Drink and Toothpaste (since I bought the wrong kind that didn't generated ECBs!)


Wrong Energy Drink - $4.99
Colgate Toothpaste - $2.89


Received $8.05 Gift Card. I did use a $1/1 MFC on the toothpaste originally, but I just turned around and grabbed the right toothpaste with no MFC. No one lost money, no one gained money. Also, just in case I confused you about MAKING $6.56 on this purchase (from my last post) - what that really means is that CVS turns the ECBs into cash (or a gift card) if you exchange something that you purchased with ECBs. You didn't really "make a profit" - you just got cash for ECBs. You have to be careful (as you see from my stupidity) that you buy the correct version of the product that is going to be generating ECBs. Just because you purchase something with ECBs, doesn't mean you cannot return it.


1 Hershey King Size - $1 ($1 ECB)
1 Colgate Total - $2.99 ($2.99 ECB)
2 Loreal Lipglosses - $6.99 ea (2 $1/1 MFCs) ($13.98 ECB)
1 Extra Strength Energy Drink - $3.99 ($3.99 ECB)
1 Hallmark Card - 99 cents
