CVS Scenario Challenge

Hhmmmm....so I wonder if I can follow Jenny's(Southern Savers) CVS transactions she has listed without my head completely exploding in the store? I am tempted to try it. She's got 5 transactions listed. It's like she's daring me. She only recommends doing 4 transactions in one trip because in her words "there are only 4 corners in a buggy!" ha ha Am I brave enough? Am I up to the challenge?
Here's the rundown:

Scenarios

  • Here is an idea of how to group items together to pay the least out of pocket.
  • Transaction #1
    Buy:
    (1) Oral B Cross Action $4
    (2) Nivea Lip Care $2.99
    Use:
    -.75/1 Oral B Cross Action PG 2/21
    B1G1 Nivea Lip Care RP 2/07
    -$5 ECB
    Total Due: $1.24
    Get Back: $6.99 ECB ($2.99, $4)
  • Transaction #2
    Buy:
    (4) Raisin Bran $2.50 ea
    Use:
    (2) -$1.50/2 Raisin Bran printable
    -$6.99 ECB
    Total Due: 1¢
    Get Back: $5 ECB
  • Transaction #3
    Buy:
    (1) Oral B Cross Action $4
    (2) Pantene Hair Products $3.48 ea
    -.75/1 Oral B Cross Action PG 2/21
    -$3/2 Pantene Products PG 3/07
    -$5 ECB
    Total Due: $3.21
    Get Back $6 ECB ($4, $2)
  • Transaction #4
    Buy:
    (1) Gillette Fusion $8.99
    (1) Tide Detergent $5.97
    Use
    -$4 off Gillette PG 2/07
    -$1 off Tide PG 2/07
    -$6 ECB
    Total Due: $3.96
    Get Back: $5 ECB ($4, $1)
  • Transaction #5

I haven't done ANY shopping at CVS yet. I am afraid to leave my Publix comfort zone. LOL! So all of this CVS lingo is foreign to me. Must visit soon!
