I don’t see anything interesting either.  Not worth stopping in just for the toothpaste…I already have a bunch…maybe next week!

They are in the CVS Reinventing Beauty Magazine sold at CVS for .99. They can be hard to find because a lot of stores never get them but if your store does carry them, they can usually be found at the magazine rack by the cash register, near the cosmetics or in the regular magazine section.

Should be on a shelf near the front, in cosmetics. My CVS keeps them right next to the Magic Coupon Machine – they cost 99 cents.

I also donate a lot to Sistercare and Hospice. The Hospice that I donate to does “comfort bags;” Tissues, chap stick, lotion, snacks.

You may want to check out Lowe’s Food this week.  They have Pampers large packs on sale with in-ad coupon of $2.00, add to that a $1.50 from last Sundays paper which doubles, gives you a total off of $5.00 per bag of diapers.  I stocked up on the pull up type.  My little one is potty trained for daytime but we use the pull up pants overnight.  He has a supply until he gets married (lol).  I have enough q’s to hit Lowe’s everyday this week and get my 3.  My brother has 3 in diapers and one on the way.  I am stocking him up as well.

I checked at CVS today…
Arm & Hammer detergent:
50 fl oz (32 loads) & 45 fl oz (25 loads) each normally $7.29 each
in Asheville, North Carolina

you have to remember that in your first transaction you already take out of you packet 4 dollars to pay for the colgate paste when you said “better yet use your 4 ebc….. and pay 8.25 …. is like getting it all for 3.25″ thats not truth  cuz you took those 4 dollars out of you packet you got the paste free but not the maney that money was yours to spend in whatever you want but you have to count it you have add it to your spendings.  I’m just helping dont get offended

I don’t think so. If you had a coupon that was BOGO then you get the two prices but not if the store’s sale is BOGO.

No. Just the price in the ad applies for both items in the promo.

I know the 20% off can’t be used towards anything on sale but they all can be used together if you don’t buy on sale items

Yes, I have never had a problem doing that, however I hardly ever buy anything that nots not on sale so the 20% usually only takes of pennies.

Umm that’s huggies…dang spell check on my phone

I was able to use the $4/$20 coupon on sale items this week.  Maybe it varies per market.  The 20% coupon normally does not allow you to use it on sale items. 

I think we got it fixed.  We’ve been making a lot of upgrades to software this past week and it keeps messing up little things :(

I’m guessing no the 2 off is for fish oil. Fish oil is normally 8-9 dollars. If you can sneak coupons past cashier it may work but doesnt work at drug stores normality.

:(   My area, near Tampa, Fl, has the Nature’s Bounty on sale. I was so hoping I could do this deal. I have to take extra iron and B12

My first two were both over a week late, so I would be right there with you! :)  The third was only a day late.

lol! i know exactly how you feel- when i was pregnant with my last child, i was due over the weekend so i went ahead and clipped my coupons and wrote out my list in detailed transactions just in case i did have her over the weekend, that way my crazy coupon friend could go shopping for me : )

If your looking at the scenario the reason why it says Due:Nothing is bc you have to do the first transaction first the Calgate. When you do the calgate you get $4RR if you buy two. Then you use those RR to pay for your Nivea witch gives you $3 RR.

I hope this helped you, im also new with this couponing thing!

This may have already been mentioned, but just keep us with the limits stated in the ad. For instance, if there is an ECB that prints when you purchase 2 Listerine (just as an example) and it says limit 2, that means 2 DEALS. So you could get ECBs twice for the Listerine if you purchase four. You can go over your limit but no further ECBs will print. In this case, if you only bought 2 Listerines, got your ECB and then went back and bought 2 more, another ECB would print, until you reach your DEAL limit. This gets confusing when the “deal” is for more than one of an item, and there is a limit. I hope that makes sense…

This is the part that is confusing to me. I have never seen or received the ECB that is the exact amount that I have spent in a transaction.

Using the same example – $20.96, how do you actually get such the ECB? The only ones I know of an have seen are the ones that you can see in the sales papers. Buy xyz make up and spend $15. Get $5 ECB.

when would there be a time that you would get the full amount of your purchase in ECB? I bet this sounds so simple. But I guess since I have never seen this before, I don’t have a reference to draw from.
Thanks for anything you can do to explain it. (simple drawings and using A B C blocks to help me understand is certainly okay with me. I must need the really basic answer.)  :)

Thanks for your patience and help.

“just to donate”…think about what this sounds like

My CVS stores never have enough stock on-hand to allow for more than  one person to go in and get a certain advertised deal so I run into this problem quite often. For those of you who have issues with “shelf clearers,” most CVS stores
will give out rainchecks and honor the ECB deals for you after the sale
ends. With that being the case, I don’t think it’s right to get upset at others for wanting to donate a few extras to the less fortunate. Hoarding and donating are two different things…

 No.  It totals the sale prices so you have to spend $30 before coupons.

Saving Star coupons are like they’re imaginary.  You do NOT get the savings at the register, so go ahead and use whatever other coupons you have.  Make sure your CVS card is registered with Saving Star under your profile and make sure you’ve validated all the available coupons.  After you buy the items you’ve validated on the site, CVS electronically tracks and lets Saving Star “know” you purchased that item, and they deposit that coupon into your Saving Star account.  Once you’ve reached $5 in your account, they let you cash out….paypal, gift card, or straight to your bank account.  Once you buy an item that you have a Saving Star coupon for, don’t expect to see that money in your Saving Star account for about 10 days. I’ve done it a few times, and have noticed this to be the trend.  However, everytime I cashed out, it was in my bank account within 2 days!  HTH!

Nevermind they are for single packs only….   :-(

If possible, I would plan on doing separate transactions to be able to use both coupons.  You should still benefit the same, but it would be less of a hassle.

Mine says $1 off one.  This is from the Tampa Bay Trib/Times in FL

dont throw them away most of the cvs takes expired coupons i just used today 2 without any beep and trouble

 Hi Danielle! I found the magazine in the front of the store on the rack where the newspapers are. I think some stores they are located by the pharmacy, but I’m sure you could ask a worker/manager for the location!

Yup got mine a few days ago  :)

I can’t get to the coupon on the link

They should be split up on your receipt. The amounts you purchase will go toward their respective weeks.

It does say in “most papers”

Sometimes it just depends. On New Year’s Eve my friend and I went to CVS (yes, we’re that boring) and they told us their manager told them not to activate the sales early that evening and to wait til the morning. But my friend usually shops there and said they usually activate them on Saturday. I have no idea why it made a difference that it was New Year’s Eve!

Unfortunately, you’ll find that this is the case with most glucose monitoring…actual monitoring devices are reasonable, but all the test strips are very expensive.

It took about 4 weeks since  registering  my cvs card, to get $4/$20 coupon posted in my  cvs account.

I am a little confused by this rebate. It says “not to be used with any other offer”. Does that mean since cvs is offering a ecb and I am using coupons, that I don’t qualify for the rebate?

Very well put! I think we could all agree that moderation and balance is the key, here. I also only purchase maybe 2 or 3 extras to give to charity, and I certainly feel that it’s the right thing to do. I don’t have a lot of discretionary income – the actual funds we have are given to our church, but I really enjoy being able to help others with my efforts at couponing, since I don’t have money to give. I think if we’re all considerate, this works.

 there was no sign in my store here in Va either…I asked and it was the $9.99 buy one get one free…

I don’t know, I guess I missed the part where she did something wrong….?

I just had to LOL!! Maybe her store was out of something and she was trying to figure out what to get instead -Maybe her store did NOT HAVE THE SIGNS UP and she was trying to figure out if she had the correct products? I just take an envelope with the coupons I expect to use plus a few extras just in case they are out of something. You can see me talking out loud trying to figure out a deal or running back and forth to the red machine to see if I have the correct item because the signs are not up. I have bad knees so I cannot get on the floor but I will park the cart near an endcap and try to reorganize my deals if they are out of something. Also my stepsister does call me from the store if she runs into a problem and I try to talk her thru it  but she cannot get on the floor either -so it was not us-LOL!!

I’m skipping this one.  I like to keep my diapers around 9-12 cents/diaper or 20/ pull ups. 

this deal doesnt seem that great to me. but is apart of the 30 get 10 gc back so might be worth it if you use a lot of diapers. maybe get 2 boxes for 39.98 then minus coupons. and u will get a 10.00 gc back. then get another box and and use the 10.00 gc for that and you will get another gc back.

I’ve been doing this for several years now.  Used to be I would hold out for deals for 5-7 cents/diaper.  Now, it’s a little harder to get good diaper coupons.  If I can get it for less than 12 cents/diaper, I go ahead and do the deal.  but, less than 9 cents now, and I’m happy with the deal.  HOpe that helps.

Hi Jen,
The price you pay per diaper is good to use when you are comparing across brands (or within a brand if you are comparing say pampers cruisers to pampers baby dry) for the same size diaper, but the price per diaper is going to go up as the sizes get bigger because there are fewer diapers in a package as they get bigger.  I think that around $4 is a good price for a jumbo pack of name brand diapers.

Anyway, I was just at CVS and they have some diapers on clearance – it is going to vary by store so yours may not have it, but it’s worth looking.  Mine had boxes of pampers at 50% off.  So I got size 3 pampers baby dry diapers (96 pack) for $11.49.  On top of that I had a $1.50 off coupon and a 20% off deal that I got from CVS through email.  Even without the coupon and the 20% off, I think it is still a decent deal.  I use as a general rule of thumb that there are two jumbo packs to one box of diapers (there are actually usually more).

Good luck!

The sensodyne coupons (2.50/2 & $5/$10) are also in the CVS beauty magazine. And they are manu. cpns. Bought one twin pack today for $10.49 and paid $5.49.

Ive learned to never look forward to the Nivea coupons either :(

There was a Nivea coupon in my walmart insert. Nothing else though.

not yet, but going to try it later. there shouldnt be a problem, because their new coupon policy says you can use 2 coupons on a B1G1 :)

not last evening-the second cpn beeped and the cashier would not accept it.

At the top of the site you’ll see a box that has CVS links, print the coupon policy if you do have issues and it states that you are allowed two coupons on a B1G1 deal.  Hopefully if they beep the policy will help!

My bad….also take off the $2.2.5 from Savingstar which actually makes the profit $14.30!

I would go back and speak with the manager. Regardless of the picture, the ad clearly states its for any lip care that is .17-.2oz. I purchased the ones with only the plastic wrap. For me though, the clerk forgot to scan my CVS card. She corrected it buy giving me the 3 ECBs.

HT has these on BOGO deals this week, got some last night for $0.19 after $3 off coupon. HT week will end on Wednesday

The way I understand the 5/10 coupon is that it says manufacturer but has a store bar-code. The register recognized mine as a CVS Q so I was able to use the 5/10, the 2.50 on 2 CVS Sensodyne and 2 of the 1/1 Sensodyne manQ printables. all on 2 tubes of the 7.49 bottles of Sensodyne which are on sale b1g1/2 off towards the gift card. Hope that helps!

its on page 61 at the bottom of the page

I agree 100%.  When I got into a store and the item I  want is gone; i say to myself that’s too bad and let it go.  Why are we complaining about shelf clearing, if there is a item that I want  than I purchase it..  I  have even gotten to my 24 hr CVS at midnight for somethings.  Enough with the shelf clearing comments; how do you know if the person took the last 10 or last 2! and who are we to condemn someone for waht they do with items they PURCHASE, if I want to dontate than I donate it.. Remember CVS is not a super store, like lets say Walmart; they will NOT have 30 of every item so everyone can get them.  I’ve preordered items and gotten rain checks and even asked when new shipments come in. Is it ok if I DON’T use coupons and go in the store and buy 10 of an items and there are none left? Jenny put this site together for our benefit and for that I thank her.

If any one want to whine about shelf clearing talk to the store manager before tuesday (order day) and tell them how many u want and come back on friday (truck day) and get them problem solved!! if you come after tuesday and there is none still try back on friday u never know when the shelf was actually cleared so you might get luck and get what you want on Friday!! and if you come after tuesday and there is still none on friday gosh rain checks are not scarce  ASK for one now that solves the whining problem!!!

You can get rain checks and never miss out on a deal.  I prefer rainchecks beacuse it helps me to never lose Extra Bucks from them expireing and also I might get a coupon to go with the rain check later.

I had the same problem.

me too :)

no

No

You can do it in one transaction and you will get your ECB.

Same here! They just manually entered it though.

It was in one of the papers. Sorry, cant remember which one, but I think it was from middle January or early February if that helps any….

 Sorry this happened to you.  You will find that getting rude cashiers is usually rare.  I stick to the cashiers with smiles on their faces!  : )

#Confused? Are you replying to someone?

Hygiene items are needed in most countries over seas.  They are very appreciative to receive items that we take for granted….little toys are usually included in the boxes.

Hygiene items are appreciated in third world countries. So are items we consider basic like pencils. In some areas of Africa, parents are cutting pencils into smaller pencils so each of their children will have one for school. A missionary told me this and brought me to tears when I thought about all the pencils that I have thrown away after using one or two times. I always include pencils in the boxes.

When you eat dirt because you have no food you are thankful for small gifts. Some people think about how they can help others and not just themselves.

I’ve also started to stock up for OCC.  My husband was nice enough last year to let our WMU (Womens Missonary Union) know that I had all kinds of toothpaste saved up. (I had 8 saved up for donations) They prepare 30 boxes each year. So I’ve begun saving for them and the many other ministries I’ll be donating to.

where did u get the coupon

 Yes, 16 bottles of shampoo is excessive. Especially since Jenny tells everyone than you only need a supply of 6 weeks worth because that’s about when the sales circle back around. Unless you’re the Duggar’s, there’s no way you can go through that much shampoo in 6 weeks.

With that being said, I agree that we don’t know everyone’s business nor why they feel the need to hoard that much shampoo. To each his own. My only wish is that I had a bigger CVS to take advantage of the good deals. Mine is very small and the shelves are empty of everything by Sunday night. Not much I can do about that. I have a child in a wheelchair and getting out of the house is not something that I can do easily. When I get there I get there and if the shelves are cleared, then I’m hoping someone else needed it more that I did got it.

I can’t even imagine shopping for a food bank or shelter, I have a hard enough time trying to get to the store to get the deals for my own family let alone others! Bless ya’ll that can…

Mine expires 2/25 also. 

Theoretically, you had to pay something for the item in which you earned your ECB. So you’ll have to add that amount to get the true figure for your scenario. Thanks for sharing!

 That is a great plan, I try to make deal ideas that don’t require so many of the same coupon for folks that only get 1-2 news papers.  So sometimes the best deal is to buy all of the same product with a lot of the same coupon so if you have them, go for it!

Yep you sure can

Depends on how many bars of soap are in each package.  You spent $8 (before tax and calculating the $5 EB as part of this deal even though you have to use it later).  So divide 8 by the number of bars of soap you got to get your price per bar of soap.  I think some where between 20 and 40 cents is a decent deal.  Obviously close to free is the best deal, but it has been a long time since I have gotten a smokin deal on soap!

 I think it is gone now.  Sorry :(

It does count!  If you look at the bottom of your receipt when you “purchase” the gift card…not the receipt of the original transaction…it should show your total correctly.

Most stores do have a policy that if they can’t scan a printable Q, they won’t accept it. Some stores will override it if they look at the Q and think it appears to be real, others won’t but it is completely up to the store at that point.

You might try running a print head realignment on your printer. That’s what the local RiteAid manager suggested to me when some of my Qs wouldn’t scan. If they are out of alignment even a little it can cause the barcode to blur just enough to not scan.

Wow, Cheryl, that was a great trip!

that is horrible. my store took my printable nature made coupons no problem. hope your call gets you a quick resolution. so unacceptable.

Yes, you may use both, because the $5/10 is actually a manufacturer’s Q.

I understand why you are asking this question.  Just looked at my copy of the rebate form I mailed in.  It just says send in the “UPC information”.  I actually sent in UPC’s to be on the safe side.  The only time I personally just send in the UPC information is when the rebate form has blanks to fill in the UPC codes.  Happy rebating. 
: )

you could get the 2 30/10 deals in one transaction and would print 2-10 gc s :)

mine kept doing that too! And on the Dove,I really racked up!

Yes, same problem. Mine was $1.50/2…not quite the deal!
