Jenny,

Heads Up, when I did my deals yesterday I discovered out of accident that the Schick Men’s razors were printing ECB’s for 2…. I had a BIGI coupon that I used to get the 2nd razor FREE and it printed 12 ECB, not 6, Happy Thanksgiving!!

Jenny,
I couldn’t do all of your scenarios b/c I didn’t have all of the coupons but I did three carefully planned transactions this morning and got $70 worth of items for $.81 and I got $32 in ECB back!!! I did have a $10 gift card from MyPoints which helped:) but I couldn’t have done it without all of your matchups-thanks!!!!

It is part of the week long deals buy 3 Amex Cards and get $10 ECB. The cards have an activation fee of $3.95-6.95 each. They also only start at $25 I think so you have load them and pay the fee.

The Maybelline Foundation might be advertised as limit 1 for Black Friday but it is really limit 2 because that is how it is advertised in the week long flyer.

On Transaction #5, to use an ECB that is more than the value you are purchasing the register will not want to accept it, but the cashier can change your ECB value to be a penny less and it will take it with out a problem. Normally you don’t want to do this because you are losing money but in the case of a penny it is better to downgrade the ECB then to be forced to buy candy and spend more money.

Jenni — Tallahasse CVS’s are very nice! I use the one in the Oak Valley Shopping Center on N. Monroe (there’s a publix next door too). Have a nice trip!

Oh I wish I knew that! The ad states that stores open at 8am and that it is a special 3 day sale. I’m treating it like the Sunday/Monday specials they run that really only work on those day. I will be there at 8am…

Jenny,

Any chance CVS will start the THanksgiving sale a day early like they do on the weekends?

It depends on how many ECB’s I have starting out. I would probably do a few transactions and then do one big transaction at the end so that I could have the most ECB’s to use with it so that I wasn’t paying a lot out of pocket just to use a coupon.

Jenny would you go ahead & use $10/50 coupon or would you wait for another deal. Thanks

Any blue colored coupon is a CVS coupon that is either a register or beauty book coupon all found/acquired at the store. The other red coupons are from newspaper inserts or printables. The SS means Smart Source insert, RP means Red Plum insert, so SS 9/21, is Smart Source Sept. 21st

Are all the coupons from register coupons or do I need to cut them out of the paper some were?

So I don’t lose things to people shopping behind me, I get everything in my buggy and then sort it into groups. I’ll check out at one time and if there is a line behind me I’ll finish a transaction and step to the beck of the line for next ones. It’s much faster to me to do all the shopping at one time and then all the checking out.

I was just wondering if you do all of your transactions at once or do you go and get the things for the first transaction and then go back and get the things for the second, etc.

The Beauty Book is sold in CVS for .99 cents. These come out every few months so you might not find any in your stores now. I have never gotten my hands on these coupons so I hope you have better luck. You can get them on ebay still but probably wouldn’t have them in time for this weeks sales. They expire 12/31.

If you just started CVSing I have heard that it takes about 3-4 weeks before coupons will start to print when you check out. You can always try getting them to scan it when you enter the store to see if you will get any before shopping. Also make sure you have registered your card on CVS’s website so that you are getting emailed coupons!!
