I would say next weeks. You would actually get a box and more diapers along with more ecbs than this weeks sale is for a pack and only $3 ecbs. Although I'm thinking this weeks sale is a box as well, isn't it?? Hm…well if that is the case I would go with next weeks anyways. IMO

I read a comment on iheartcvs that was not a good review. It seems the operating system is not compatible with a lot of things.

My daughter bought a Dell Mini and decided she'd rather have the Apple, so she's selling it. It's purple (cool color) and in perfect shape. Let me know if you want it.

Thanks everyone. I wanted it just for coupons and maybe school work when I am on the road. I am going to see what their return policy on it is.

Thanks! I'll fix them now. They all blend together that late :)

yes

I would follow Jenny's transactions…That's what I did…You'll have the initial output for whatever the EBs should be for that week, but that will start you off…For a while, I just did her transactions…Now, I venture out to my own! :)

That would depend on what coupons you have. If I had no coupons, I think that I would buy the energy chews and the stride first. Pay 2.98 and get back 2.98 ECBs. Then if had had the Schick coupon I would buy the razor, use the 2.98 ECBs and the $5 coupon, and pay 99¢ and get back 4.00 ECBs. I would have paid 3.97 out of pocket and have $4 ECBs left for next week. Remember that you usually have to pay a little out of pocket the first week and that you always have to pay the tax.

Ingles includes them in their sales. Their best deal used to be $8.88 for the “jumbo” (small size) pack.

Once you click on “create list”, right click, select “select all”, right click again, select “copy”, open a word document, right click, select “paste” and then your list will appear. Then you are able to manipulate the list anyway you want. I do this and set my word document to narrow margins, 3 columns, Century Gothic font with a 9 font size and it enables me to get my list all on one page. I then delete any wording I don't need and get everything off of bold (to save ink). Maybe that will help.

Me Too! I am so excited! Isnt it crazy what us couponers get excited about. LOL

“Peelie puller”? Are you talking about people who pull peelies off of items that they are not yet buying? If so, that is just not right! “Peelie-pullers” do not deserve to get good deals at other consumers' expense. I may have been the one to come along and have to buy that product (out of need) that someone else had just pulled the coupon off of to save for a better deal.

I went tonight in Dallas, GA. They have the select a size!

Awesome :)

Yes I had that problem but found a coupon from last weeks paper for $1 off the paper towels… I had already cut it out so I don’t know which publication it was in.

yes they do!!

Revlon Super Lustrous ones…

Wow $1.99 for that little drink? Ours were $1.49 then went to $1.59 and last I saw were back at $1.49. No wonder they do so many coupons because I'd never pay $2 for a drink, even if I was thirsty and dropping by somewhere for a convenience drink…ah!

Yep…ours are $1.89 and I have to remind the cashier NOT to write in $1.89, but $1.69!

I did the P&G deal last week and bought all my products in one transaction. The flu shot prints on the bottom of your reciept. It does have an expiration date on it. Mine was for the 16th of September so you have to use it pretty fast.

I did the Free Flu Shot deal this week. I went ahead and bought all of mine in one transaction (I had a $10 off $50 coupon) and it did print on the bottom of my receipt just like the ECB's do. I think I have 2 or 3 weeks to use it before it expires. Sorry that doesn't answer the first part of your question!

Yes you can :)

yes, I can play and then it won't print it says I reached my limit.

I just went on the site and was able to print two coupons. They must have worked out the glitches. I would say you should try again tomorrow. HTH :)

try 36830

I think so…that's the scenario that Jenny lists is buying 2 Wisks, using 2 Q and getting both for around 2.48 or 1.24 ea.

I don't remember seeing on FL. Publix has them bogo and with the $3 coupon it is $1.49. Is that what you are thinking about?

This is 25 cents cheaper. But if you are going to Publix anyway and this is the only deal you want at CVS, probably will cost you more than 25 cents in gas to get there!

Family dollar has them on sale this week for $4 with q makes them $1 each. Sale ends today tho.

pull ups etc are priced at the 8.99 sale!!!

If you look at the top right of this page Jenny lists an “Almost Official Coupon Policy” which is an e-mail from corporate outlining their policy It does state that internet coupons will be accepted ONLY if they scan at the register. If it won't scan, they will not accept. Email corporate on their site, I had success with a complaint a few months back. They contacted the district manager who talked with the store manager to correct the problem I'd had.

Well crud, I thought I was doing well with my $.60/1 coupon for the Raisin Bran. Still a good deal for cereal. I'm in the Atlanta area.

All of the deals have a number at the bottom in the ad I believe. You can only do the deal once considering it says limit one, which means limit one per deal number.

Not at mine either, in NC, or the Vapor bath.

I shopped today also and added 1 bedtime product as it was 5.99 which made my total over $25 with the diapers, but the ECB did not print. He got me 2 oatmeal bath washes and used my $2/2 bedtime products coupon and it worked on the oatmeal bath washes and my ECB printed.

Not sure if that coupon was really for the oatmeal bath wash but it worked and I got a much better deal.

its not misleading. most people do have ecbs from previous weeks. thats the point of the whole system is to pay as much as possible with ecbs…

So sorry that happened to you! I wouldn't let one experience ruin it for you. I will say, however, that I find the best deals at Rite Aid. I've learned how the SCR rebates work, and I'm getting back $30 this month to spend on future deals! CVS doesn't have nearly as many $5 off $25 (or similar) coupons as Rite Aid does. I really like the video values, too. HTH :-)

I have a CVS store literally 3 blocks from my house. I always go the the next one up the road. The store managers are as different as night and day. And the store employees pick up the same attitude. I never go to the one by my house now & absolutely love the next one. Hang in there. You'll figure out which place to go and how to do it. I now have people in the stores telling me about deals!

I have never had a really bad experience with CVS however I do have one that I try to avoid because to avoid because they are not friendly. You might try calling another location near you and see what they say about returning the headphones. You might also call CVS corp. and ask them about the policy. I've never returned anything before but I've never heard that they would not expect a return. Please try not to let this get you down on CVS or couponing. If you are in the Auburn area, call the one by the new Publix, they are terrific over there.

If you want to avoid these kinds of situations, you have to read the fine prints before hand. I know how busy our lives is with work, kids, etc, but we have to prepare ourselves in order to avoid these situations. Lets say, if that manager accept 15 returns per month (with situations like yours), the money will add up at the end of the year for the store. And I know, “the customer should always be number 1,” but that doesn't always seems to be. That manager should have produced some kind of evidence that he can't take the return. He is also at fault. By not shopping at CVS at all, it is your loss.

KLM, this is NOT CVS policy!! (And I know because I work at one!) It doesn't matter where you purchased the product, you can return it at any CVS. Our store is under constant surveillance because our Loss Prevention numbers are out of whack and we still accept returns from everywhere, with a good attitude too! Don't let them treat you like that! Call corporate and tell them what is going on!

Thanks to all of you, your comments and support! Since many of you have suggested it, I will probably call Corporate this week & I will post what/if I'm told. Thanks again for your support; I plan to start over fresh with a new CVS location this week too. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I actually had a HORRIBLE situation with a manager, and called the next day to report it to corporate, and it's been 5 weeks and nothing…the cust. svc. rep. told me he would have the manager's boss call me, then she never did, so after 2 weeks, I called back and was told that since she never called me, her boss would call me….3 weeks later, NOTHING. I'm going to call them in a day or so and complain that they couldn't care less that they have a manager that treated a very good customer like garbage and refused my legitimate coupons because I was already getting the items “too cheap”.

Yes. Mine has been saying that for about 3 weeks now. (Even when i use a cap with a winner code) I thought I could understand not letting me play the free game anymore, but not letting me print with a winner code from a drink cap that I bought is kinda crappy.

oops, replied to the wrong link. See my answer above.

yep got mine for next weekend, hope there are good deals next weekend.

The cashier claimed I had reproduced the sobe life water coupons. I never have. I won :D Although I think she missed one of the coupons, I'm still quite happy :D

I got this one tonight too – question…What constitutes a grocery? I had some paper towels, diapers, etc. The cashier commented that I had no groceries and didn't even scan the coupon. Shouldn't he have at least scanned it – and if my purchases didn't qualify for the deal, well, then…

that's when the cashier should get the manager or someone else to open another register. dont feel bad for something that's not your fault.

In these instances, kill them with kindness. If I hear grumbling or sighing, I turn around with a smile and apologize for taking so long. Or even offer to cancel your order so they can go ahead and not waste any of their valuable time. More than likely, they will decline and pipe down.

You can purchase them in separate transactions, as long as the full amount is purchased before the ad period is over.

Chickadoo – if I understand your question than your friend is not right. You have to buy $25 worth of the items on the page (not just $25 total purchase and 1 item from baby page). I bought the diapers ($20) and then a $5 J&J item. I did not get the ECBs b/c the J&J item was not part of the deal according to the cashier. He said it was only the items that were on sale 2/$5.

He returned the $5 J&J item and I got 2 for $5 and was able to use a $2/2 J&J wash coupon. So, you do have to buy $25 worth of items from that baby page to get your $10 ECBs.

You have to buy $25 worth of those products.

Yes, you can the dollar will come off of the 1 item that you are paying for. Hth!

hover over the ad you are looking at and it's a hyperlink to the shopping list… does that make sense?

I have one you are welcome to. It expires on 9/30/10. Email me @ kayleesgma@aol.com and I will get in in the mail! :)

No, the limit for ECB's on the gum is 1 per card. If you bought 5 you would only get $1 ECB on your receipt. The limits for the ECB's print out at the bottom of the receipt (right before the ECB's print). It will look something like this:

Dentyne, Buy 1 Get 0.99 EB
* Offer Limit Reached 1

yes, you can use it on anything you want to…it's not like Walgreens – the ECB are considered to be cash!

The second one will ring up as “0″, so you can't use a coupon on that one.

I went to cvs today and they had Frebreeze candles in a buggy for 2.00 and they let me use 2.00 cpn

I'm trying to get Sobe coupons, but printed 2 of them several months ago, and now it won't let me print….can you advise how you got 6? Thanks!

I had this happen to me once, too. My manager let me just give them the coupon that I had intended to use (I showed them the receipt and the item I purchased), and gave me the cash value of the coupon instead! I didn't even have to do a return.

I can't find it under mine either and I've tried several zip codes……help from anyone on the Snuggie Varsity $5 coupon? thnx!

i set my default printer settings to black and white. that just means no when i want to print anything else in color i have to manually change it. works for me though as coupons seem to be the majority of what i print.

I miss Goose Creek! That's also a really good deal!

I used mine for the Right Guard deodorant and it worked just fine! They were wrong. I would try to find another CVS that is more coupon friendly.

Had a great experience at Kroger with this same issue. Bought something at a Kroger outside my circle of stores and needed to fix a problem without having to drive 15 miles out of my way (this was when they had the $5 back when you bought 5 Kraft items). Wouldn't think the store would fix it because they would have to give me $5 back when I didn't purchase anything at their store to begin with. made a phone call and low and behold they told me I could come in and they would fix it for me. Kudos to Kroger in Cumming, Ga.

THANK YOU!!!!

Yes, it is before coupons.

I didn't receive my rebate yet ,but I also used a $5.00 coupon and ECB's. If they have subtracted the ECB's, I will definitely call their corporate office, as that is not right. In addition, the rebate form,as I recall, did not state that they would be deducting coupons.
Sounds like they looked at the bottom line total on your receipt and that is what they refunded. Your gift card and ECB's are equivalent to cash- you should contact them.
Hope you get your money back!!!

I paid 29.99 before tax (after the $5 q) and got sent a check for $29.99. So it appears, to me anyway, that they are sending a check in the amount of your subtotal, which will really make a lot of people who used ECB's or RR's to lower their total very upset!!

It's not working for me. Must be out.

I can not find bricks 50 cent off skippy coupons? Thanks

They are on the aisle where the diet aids are. I've been to two different stores and they are on top shelf near 5 Hour Energy Shots.

These are one day only coupons and the store I shop will not honor them after they expire so make sure they are good. The Aqua Globes (glass globes you stick in potted plants) are on clearance for $2.99 although they were not marked at my store. They had a sticker price of $9.99 but when I price checked it at the red kiosk it was $2.99. The Bumpits hair accessories are also on clearance for $1.24. You can also combine the -$5 coupon on the Varsity Snuggie with the CVS coupon to get the snuggie for $7 which is a pretty good deal and great Christmas gift.

I believe it's per card but you can always ask your store

It is six per transaction, not card. It is a polite way of saying, “Don't empty our shelves in one shopping trip, spread the wealth.” But, technically, if the manager allows it, you could do a gadzillion transactions and wipe them out of SOBE in five minutes….

Do you have a pop-up blocker? On the Sobe coupon page, there is a warning that announces you can receive your coupon but to “Make sure you do not have pop ups blocked”.

You also might notice there is a little bar that pops up at the top of your “Click Here to get your COUPON” page. Once you see that, there is no hope of printing the coupon for that day again. You have to ALLOW pop ups from sobe heads or tails to make this coupon print. And it must be allowed before you click on the coupon link. I used a different browser today, and like you, it started me over when I tried to click the coupon. The pop ups were blocked and I had to set them up to allow for this site. Good luck! :)

You can check out the coupon services but you won't get them in time before the sale.

There's more coming out this Sunday. Buy your papers early on Saturday and you'll still make the sale.

that is correct. but you CAN use 2 coupons.

That depends on your cashier. I was allowed to use it buying Wisk & Sobe, and again buying the Johnson's baby products.

I would have argued the point but there were a couple of people in line and I'd already gotten my 12 Sobe's free. I didn't want to seem like I wanted everything free! (but I do)

I'm pretty sure you can't do that because from what I've seen on rainchecks, they write down the deal # that is posted in the ad. The buy $25 get $10 ECB is a different deal number. If I were you and really needed diapers I would roll your raincheck ecb's over towards the new deal. If you use all the coupons it should work out to be pretty cheap!
