I can never get there early….I did go Wednesday and there were no deodorants at the CVS near my place of employment. But I did get 2 CVS oatmeals for .25 each. The dates had just expired. And I got $18 worth of lipstick. With my ECB's and coupons my total came to $3.50 and I got $6 more in ECB's!

I was told at the CVS in Decatur AL, that if you used manufacturer's coupons after you purchased $15 worth of items to get the ECB, and the total dropped below $15 that you weren't elegible for the ECB. They said it was a new policy. The cash register added my ECB ($5) for my purchase and the cashier took it away.

Rainchecks are an awesome idea for CVSing. The cashier usually right sales ad number for the ECB on the raincheck…So this is normally not a problem….But, Kudos for you on such a good buy!

Rainchecks! I have never had a problem with them honoring them or getting them.

I highly recommend cutting out the ad and stapling it to your raincheck for redemption purposes.

I work for CVS and they may run out but will give u a raincheck and they have a code number so when they fill the raincheck u will be able to get your ECB. They are good about that.

I think someone posted about the printable coupons not matching up with the sale deodorants, I did the transactions exactly as listed here, and CVS took all the coupons so I was able to get the deal. it worked for me.

Sorry, this is not the same Susan that replied below to Emilytwinmom. This is the first time (Susan) that I've commented here. Sorry, I don't mean to sound harsh in my above comments, but the whining is just not conducive to growth and peaceful living. I'll use SusanL to help prevent confusion with the Susan who posted to Emilytwinmom.

To those complaining about not getting the deals, just stop and think about all the things you have, all the deals you have gotten that others may not have and stop whining. My two daughters and I went to CVS yesterday to get razors, deod., and Glade. We got part of what we were looking for but not all of it. That's just the way it goes.Get your rainchecks and let your local manager know that you didn't get the products you wanted. In the future, they will stock more. It's supply and demand. Some people need to take their extra time and read, “Big Girls Don't Whine”.

I went to Ride Aid for the first time thursday and even though it was towards the end of the “sale week” they still had everything in stock I wanted, I used all my coupons and got the john frieda and diaper deals! They limit how many “single check rebates” you can get on each sale item, so you really can't cheat there ;) I have found my new store!!! Thanks for the many responses, it's nice to know I'm not the only one this happened to!

I am with you on this – I have 3 CVS stores close to me and 2 kids (ages 1 & 2). So…it is an effort to get in the store, but each time I do, atleast half of the great deals are already gone – like you said, even on Sunday morning! Deals are GREAT, but I think I am going to have to quit dragging my kids in for a bunch of deals we can't get and just go to the park more! I'm so glad that this site has taught me how to save so much on regular grocery trips so we are just gonna stick to that for now. :)

You're just getting the ECB to use on another purchase. They print off on the end of your receipt :-)

Tried to print the $3/2 and it said the campain was over. The $1.25 printed no problem.

The 3 closest CVS don't carry the Degree Girl and that is the only coupon I have, so bummed

I can understand your frustration. My husband and I went to CVS just this evening on a “date night” to CVS. I was actually most interested in the Raisin Bran deal. At the one closest to our home, they were sold out. I didn't actually think about a raincheck at the time until leaving and then questioned whether the ECB would be given at a later date since they are issued by the register receipt during the week of sale. We then opted to head to another CVS store (over the Intracoastal) on the off chance they would have the cereal in stock. They did…my husband wasn't a believer until he spent $.57 for 4 boxes of cereal and 2 pkgs. of 18 ct. Always pads, using ECB from my previous transactions and then was given $5 on the register receipt. I am hoping that another CVS store is close to your home as well and could possibly alleviate your frustration in the future.

This would be a great deal, but none of the CVS stores in my area carry the Degree Girl deodorant! And since my husband doesn't use this kind, I am out of luck.

Can you use the $5 ECB on that purchase to truely make them 15 cents each? And if so, how do you do that? Or are you just getting back the $5 ECB to be used on another purchase?

No it doesn't open in Adobe. It says “Jamie” on it and at the bottom it says that it is only for the intended recipient.

I always have trouble getting the really good sale items at my CVS before all the “eary birds” get there. Sunday is our family/worship day, so I don't do any shopping until Monday or later in the week. And, I won't shop on Sat night b/c that is the only night my 2nd shft working hubby is home for romance. (wink)
Making friends with your store clerks/manager helps. I found out from my store when the truck comes in and also they are willing to give rainchecks to me with ECBs forced when I use it. Hang in there, CVS is really a great store!

Thanks for the idea!! I printed the coupons and I plan on going Saturday night but this will be my first time CVSing…how do I use the ECB to pay for my deodorants? I didn't think you could do seperate transactions since you need to spend $15 in order to get the deal. Thanks for you help!
