I don’t know how to calculate my savings for CVS… the ECBS throw me off. Do you count the ECBs you used during that visit or the ECBs you gained?? Thanks and Great Job!!!! (BTW if you go back and buy 1 more febreeze noticeables at 6.50 – 4Q = 2.5… you can get another 5 ECBs) =)

Hi Migdalia,
CVS calculates the savings on the receipt for you. The ECBs that I used in the transaction are considered as part of the savings since they act as a coupon, but I am not including the ECBs that I earned since I will include those in my next transaction.

Good heads up on the febreze! Just checked my receipt and it looks like you are right. I don’t think you have to buy the $10 of febreze products to get the $5 ECB…I’ll have to try it! :)
