ARe these deals only local to where you live? I tried the L’oreal and J&J in New York ccity on august 22nd and they did not work. Our circular did not have these listed either nor were the items on sale. Are these localized deals??

I was so looking forward to getting the deal on the Purex 3-in-1, but they rang up BOGO at $8.99 instead of $5.99! This would come out to $3.49 each with the two coupons and that didn’t seem like such a good deal to me. Did anyone have any luck getting them at the $5.99 price?

I have a question…today I went to CVS and bought 3 bottles of the Herbal Essences shampoo, since it says on here that the limit is 5 for the $2 ECB deal. However, only 1 $2 ECB printed when it rang up. Can anyone explain how this works? Was the limit actually only 1 or do I have to do it in 3 different transactions? Thanks, Susie

*DEAL ALERT*

I was at my CVS here in Atlanta yesterday and they have a big display in the toothpaste aisle for Arm & Hammer Toothpaste. The siplay hsa travel size toothpaste for .01 this week (sale ends 8/22). I used it as a filler item to get me to an even $25.00 so I could use my $5 off $25 coupon. It is limit one per customer.

the total was about $20,I had a $10 off $20 (grand opening coupon) plus my $9.99 ECb. i paid $0.38 OOP!!!! not only that, but I received $14 back in ECB.
totally helps out because I was just at the dentist and found out i need to replace two fillings, get a crown, and one new filling for $1175!

Is anyone else having trouble with the “Buy 2 L’Oreal participating Products get a FREE tote bag by mail in rebate”. I can’t see the form to print. It keeps saying I don’t have the latest Flash Player installed. But I clicked the link and installed it, restarted and everything on two different computers and the message is still there and I don’t see the form. Any ideas??

Does anyone know what time on Saturday the Dallas, GA store begins printing ECB for the Sunday sale? I would assume it is midnight, but it seems as if some people are able to shop earlier than that.

Thanks!

Alena, I just got back from CVS in Chattanooga. They were out of filler paper, but had the recycled boxes, $1.98 each, getting $1.98 back in ECB thru today. Go to the L’Oreal website and print off a $5 coupon for the Wrinkle, and a $1 coupon for the cleanser to bring OOP down.

You’re doing great!

Rebecca, in Florence…call corporate. They ARE supposed to issue rain checks even for 3-day sale items. I had the same thing happen, and corporate mailed me rain checks for everything I wasn’t able to get. GOOD LUCK :)

I just went to a different CVS than I normally shop and was disappointed. I bought 6 of the Johnson and Johnson first aid kits and 2 of the pens. I handed the cashier my 6 J&J coupons and he said it says only one per purchase, but I’ll give you 3. So I asked if he would take 3 off, and he said, we’ll I am already helping you out, so… I went ahead and bought them because, but wan’t happy. I paid 5.40 and got back 7.98 in ECB’s so I guess I can’t complain too much.

I am new to CVS’ing thanks to being directed to this wonderful blog. Unfortunately, my local store doesn’t always have the products that are advertised with ECB or they have limited amounts making it difficult to really get the best deal. At any rate I did manage to pay $9.96 OOP for some items on Sunday and get back $11.99 in ECB so I think I’m doing ok for a beginner. I do have a rule that I won’t buy something I have no use for or cannot use (I have some strange chemical allergies that prevent me from using many of the regular skin/hair care products available) so often I find that the really good deals or moneymakers are items that go against my rules but I still have hopes of one day paying nothing at the counter and getting ECBs back!!

Love this website, Thanks for the help saving money! I live in New york and was wondering if anyone knew of a website that had some of the grocery stores sales? Thanks!

Tonya (#124) – I’ve also never had a problem with the two stores in my town forcing the register to print the ECBs at the end of the transaction. I’ve had them tell me a few times to make sure that I remind them when I hand them the raincheck to buy the stuff, but I’ve never had a problem getting them to print them. I would call the number of the back of your card. They will probably just add them to your card to print out the next time you buy stuff. Or you could go talk to the manager. Good luck!

The tampons don’t have a tag on them at more store in Greenville SC. Does anybody know if the Extracare bucks will print if it isn’t advertised in your store? Thanks!

You are correct.
They are supposed to print the ECBs after they ring up the items (at the sale price). It is a separate, manual transaction. The lower portion of the raincheck has a code for the cashier to enter. Below that it states “Extra Bucks will be issued upon Raincheck redemption”. Maybe you can go back and talk to the manager to correct and reissue your ECBs. Hope this helps you get the ECBs you are due :)

Tonya -

You are correct. You should have received the ECB’s. I’ve done this for the past 3 weeks with no problems. I would call/ email CVS and they will most likely correct it for you.

For future reference – the cashier will have to “force” the ECB’s after your transaction including the raincheck is finished. For example, I used my raincheck for the Grip Pens $.99 w. $.99 ECB. I paid for the pens and then after the transaction was finished, the clerk scanned the receipt and forced the ECBs for the raincheck.

I’ve done this a two different CVS stores.
