I’m brand new at this and have a question. CVS has a big box of huggies for $19.99 with an ECB of $4. I have a $4/$20 coupon, a $2 off huggies coupon, and $5.00 ECB starting out. So, the diapers would be $8.99 OOP, plus $4 ECB. Would you consider this a “stock up” price? I don’t necessarily need diapers right now, but it’s something that I know I”ll have to buy anyway.

Hope, that’s easier to do when you start off with $9.00 in ECB’s. I’m just starting out, so I really appreciate all of the newbie scenarios that don’t require a lot of ECB’s from the get-go. Thanks for sharing your deal ideas, ladies!

Not totally crazy about my trip this week, but I misplaced my little notebook so didn’t have any ECB to roll! 🙁
