Cost = $8.98
Thanks to the fact I got a $5/$30 coupon in my email and a FREE green tag coupon, this turned out to be a pretty good trip. This isn’t the best diaper deal that I’ve come across. Still I didn’t pay much! I used a Gift Card that I had from last years cold and illness season.
This is what I did:
When you Buy $20 get $5 ECBs on any Huggies jumbo excluding overnights and large pack of Huggies wipes $6.99 Limit 1
2 – Huggies Stay & Dry $18.99
Used 1 -$2.00 IP Huggies Coupon
Used 1 -$1.50 Huggies Coupon 10-25-09 SS (Check your insert since some have $1.00 and some have $1.50)
1 – Huggies Wipes $6.99
Used -$.50/1 Huggies wipes 10-25-09 SS
2 – Complete Contact Solution $8.99 each – Get back $8.99 ECBs Limit 2
Used 2 – $1/1 Multi-Purpose Solution, Any 12 Oz. + (Free Lens Case Inside) – 10-25-09 RP
1 – Green bag tag $.99
Used -$.99 Green bag tag CVS coupon
Subtotal $44.95 Much more than I usually spend.
– $5/$30 CVS coupon
After coupons $32.96
-$7.99 ECB from last week’s Ear Rinse
-$3.00 ECB from last week’s Clairol Natural Instincts
$21.97 I used my Gift Card so the OOP $0.00
ECBs $23.98 (I got the ECBs for the $17.98 contact solution, $5 Huggies diapers and $1 for using the Green tag 4 times!)
Cost = $8.98 for 2 packs of diapers, 1 mega wipes and 2 contact solutions!!
What I should of done retrospect is to purchase only 1 Complete contact solution. However, it would cost me less out of pocket but more in ECBs.

You had a great CVS trip today Holly!
I got a $4/$20 purchase coupon via email as well as the free green tag coupon. I had a great CVS trip today! I was starting out with zero ECB’s so I spent a little bit more out-of-pocket than I really wanted, but did stock up on diapers/pull-ups (we had just run out, and although my son is basically potty-trained, we still need them for long trips out and at night). I didn’t realize the contact solution was limit 2 for the ECBs… I only bought one, so I might go back tomorrow to get another with my $8.99 ECB I have.

Hi Laura!
That is awesome! I need to take a picture of my loot! I sure wish I had been smarter and got the second contact solution in a second transaction after the first. Oh well! Maybe with my other card. 😉 The hubby and baby were in the car.
Just remember you don’t need to use a coupon in addition to the ECB unless you want some free candy.
Talk to you later! Holly
