View Full Version : CVS 12/2-12/8 Discussion (incl questions, scenarios, chat)
The Ad/Deals thread for this week is HERE (http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=59052&t=658373).
There are two CVS threads for each weekly ad. So, how do you know what to put where?
- Anything that everyone needs to know should go in the Ad/Deals thread (prices, coupons, what worked that shouldn't have, what didn't work that should have). The Wiki post (always the 2nd post in a thread) is updated constantly by users just like you!
- Ask yourself: "Does someone who is checking this thread via dialup before going to CVS really need to know this information?" If not, put it in the Discussion thread!
- Other stuff like questions, scenarios, what you plan to buy, what you bought, how great the deals are, how bad the deals are, chat where you're getting to know other SD CVS'ers etc, should all go in the discussion thread for each week.
Keeping track of all the CVS threads:
Subscribe to the threads you want to keep track of. (See links below)
To subscribe to a thread when you're already in the thread:

To see the threads you've subscribed to, click "User CP". It's at the top of every page on the left. Any of your subscribed threads that have new posts will show in the center of the page. You can also click “View all subscribed threads” to see all threads, whether they have new posts or not.
(You can also 'sticky' every CVS thread to the top (also under Thread Tools), so if you go into Hot Deals or Deal Talk or Coupons you see all CVS threads at the top of the page.)
NEW: Too many pages in your CVS threads?
You can change your settings to show more posts per page, with the maximum being 40 posts per page. (This lets you scroll down more without having to keep hitting 'next page')

Hi guys, I am new to slick deals. Well not really. I have been reading your posts for a while now and just figured out how to post myself. I am totally IN LOVE with the extra care card and extra bucks at CVS. I have been working at CVS for a year and a half now so if I can help any of you out by answering questions I will be glad to.

AHHH no more Garnier!! :whee: I think I'm up to 18 bottles now! (actually probably less cuz I just gave some away to sisters) :eek: But....can.....not......resist.....good.....deal.. :drool2: This could be an easy deal to recycle some small ECB's:
2 Garnier face washes or towelettes (5.99 each)
Total: $11.98
-$2/10 CVS Q
-$2 Garnier printable Q
-$2 Garnier printable Q
Total: $5.98 + tax
And you get back $6 in ECB's. Not the greatest deal, but a fast, easy, small deal if you're in a rush. If your store let's you stack, throw in another $2/10. \
Now I need to figure out a deal for the $5 WYB $20 P&G products. I needs me some paper towels or toilet paper! :look:

Here is my plan for Sunday, we need diapers pretty bad. All of my pampers coupons expire before this week, but I'm hoping this weeks coupon section will bring some new ones.
2 packs of diapers 8.99 * 2 = 17.98
1 pack of charmin 2.49
= 20.47
-4 off 20 coupon
-1 off MFG cpn Charmin
Then I plan on going back and doing a second deal
4 Kashi TLC crackers (On sale for 2/5) = 10 dollars
+ candy bar
- 2 off 10 coupons
- 2.00 MFG cpn
-2.00 MFG cpn
-2.00 MFG cpn
-2.00 MFG cpn
= candy bar price, like 60 cents or whatever the cost.
And then I have to fiqure out the best way to do the Pepsi deal. Any ideas?

well, there are some $1/1 charmin coupons out there. i ordered some off ebay for the deals. i'll be getting 6 charmin and one paper towel, minus coupons is about 15 bucks. but its part of a huge order with lots of stacking, so its mot much help here. but if you had the $1 coupons you could do this
2.49 * 6 = 14.94

I don't know about where you are or if you drink Dr pepper, but I am in Indiana and all of my stores have the dr pepper-dt dr pepper with the $1 peelie's so if you bought 5 it would make it $11.65 for 5 so after ecb you would pay .83 a 12 pack.

you may only need to give one b1g1 q if they adj. to the 6.99 price which will be highly likely if they scan your EC card after scanning the first item. Or you can give both and pay with a smaller ecb.

Don't forget to throw some monthly deals in there when you need fillers; CVS cough drops, Oasis and those energy shots are all free after EBs.
I haven't seen the ad & I'm pretty useless until I have it in front of me but, for those of us who can't stack and assuming you don't have to buy all the pampers, t.p, etc at once, why not break it up?
i.e.
2 Oasis = 11.98
charmin = 2.59
subtract 2/10 , 2x Oasis printable c/o's , $1 charmin - you will use fewer EBs than you get back from the Oasis and are on your way to getting the charmin EB. It can be repeated using different 'free' monthly deals until you have reached the $20 in purchases needed .
yayyyyyy - I finally made a picture of my face :)

The Incredifull appears on the receipt as B1G1 Free. I gave the cashier the B1G1 coupons and she took off 9.99 and 7.49. So I only paid $ 5.00 for 4 Lipsticks. All of the signs in front of the Covergirl products stated B1G1 50% off, so not sure if this an old existing sale that has not been updated in the system. YMMV

I have a silly question....
In the ad, it lists the Buy $20 get $5 ECBs of P&G products on the first page. Does the CoverGirl Face, LipColor and Mascara count with this deal? I didn't think so, but just want to confirm. Since it says B1G1 50% off with the Covergirl, and since we have B1G1 coupons in the new P&G ad, this would be nice to add to the Buy 20 Get 5 deal. The way it's set up on the page, though, makes me think that the items for the ECB deal are only the 4 on the bottom. For the people who purchased the CoverGirl already, did it count for the ECB? (I know it says excludes TruShine and Incrediful on the front cover.) Thanks! :)

The coupon is in todays paper.
Actually all I got was an advert for Covergirl in all 3 papers I bought. No coupons. Most likely it's a regional thing. Any printables out there to help a girl out?

My understanding is that everything in the red background for that deal is applicable to the sale. Therefore the Covergirl should be in the $5/$20 P&G sale. Someone correct me if I am wrong. :)

This should be correct. And, someone on another board reported receiving credit towards the P&G deal when buying the CoverGirl Incredifull, which is BOGO. (They bought two, received credit for one)

Just a warning, got 1 box of cheese its and one box of club crackers and it seems the club crackers didnt count towards the deal, so that's annoying. I'll probably just go and buy another box of cheese its on my next run.
I got my Kashi crackers, cheese its and P&G deal in my first CVS run of the day. Now to figure out my next deal which I want to be the Pepsi stuff, anyone try that yet?

Just came back from CVS and tried to do the $10 ECB for $40 skincare purchase (e.g. Vichy, Avene, etc) and the ECB did not print!! CVS customer service is closed today (at least that's what the store manager said) so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to call it in. The deal is supposed to be ongoing until 12/22/07. Just a bit of a warning for everyone else who's planning on doing this deal. I wonder if anybody else know about this...
Will report back once I call CS tomorrow.

The other was CVS plastic wrap. I bought one aluminum foil and one double pack of plastic wrap. I think the double pack of plastic wrap is the one that didn't print the ECB.

I used the $2 off $10 yesterday on a general purchase. It worked fine. As far as combining it with another coupon, it depends on your store. Definitely a YMMV thing. :nod:

Couldn't you just return it right away if it doesn't count? Usually if an item doesn't leave their sight even if it is the stores general policy to salvage they can resell it.

That's odd. My 2-liters of SIerra mist did count towards the deal. I bought four of them, 3 regular and one cranberry; however, it was eithger the Sierra Mist 12-pack or Gingerale 12-pack that DIDN'T count yesterday.
I got the Fabreeze ECB's for everything that I purchased. On one card, I purchased a candle and a 2.50 spray. On another card, I purchased 2 holiday edition sprays and one of those 6.99 plug-in fresheners (smells great!).
I purchased the Fusion razor with shave gel and DID get the ECB's. I could only locate one newspaper in two stores, so I used the 4 off coupon on one razor and the 1 off coupon on the razor with shave gel. There were no beeps.
I checked multiple papers in PA and De and we did NOT receive the Covergirl coupons...just a big CoverGirl picture in the P&G ad. We rarely get the Covergirl coupons. :eek: :mad:
The nice young boy cashier who I thought was sick of me saw me today and asked me why I didn't come in yesterday when he was there because he would have given me a 30% off coupon. Darn it! I was there last night, but he had already left. I had no idea that the employees were giving out some of these things. Oh well, I thanked him and told him that maybe next year. :) That was sweet of him for thinking of me though. I was kind of embarassed because I was there last night and the same manager was there this morning. He was like "you are back?" He said it with a big smile though. I just felt weird since I had used the same 5 off 30 coupon that I had yesterday (the one that expired); however, I didn't do any stacking w/ printables just because I have been feeling guilty doing so lately. I did 3-4 orders yesterday and 2 orders at that store today...I only did the second order because I was a few bucks shy of the P&G deal (I thought that both CG lipsticks would count, and only one did). So, I went back in, and for some reason, my Duracell batteries coupon beeped and my 5 ecb coupon beeped. Oh, and the 1 off coupon beeped on the mouth spray. I didn't bother to read it before using it, but I assumed that since people on here have used it, it should be good on the spray. I bought enough items, so that I could use a manuf. coupon and a CVS coupon on each and then one ECB that is supposed to be unlimited but I think that that Duracell coupon or that mouth stuff coupon confused the register. Oh well, the manager was nice and so was the cashier. I just always feel bad and get nervous when something beeps (is rare). I don't want to get any negative attention. Oh, and I ran into another coupon lady!!! She was using lots of manuf. coupons, but her manuf. coupons kept beeping, so the manager was called and had to assist. I gave her a 2 off 10 coupon.

If I had been there I would have but I sent my hubby to do it. His first and last time running to CVS for me I fear -- even with an exact list, an exact order for my coupons he still came home with random stuff AND called every two minutes to ask a question.
Why not just buy the 12 pack... your ecb's should still print out.
Yeah but then I have to spend more to get it when I've already spent $17. If I have to I'll probably go for some of the food that counts instead, food is useful.

All free does work but it bothers me that it's unscented. I know it's my hang up but I don't think things are clean if they don't SMELL clean! :crazy: Purex baby works really good is very mild and is less than $4 a bottle.

One of my boys has extremely sensitive skin and at that age, he could only stand All Free. We also had cloth diapers, his skin was seriuosly that sensitive, we couldn't even put a diaper on him. I don't like Tide at all. I think all Tide is irratating to his skin.

The coupon works on any item in the store, EXCEPT prescriptions. so pretty much anything you dont have to fill at the pharmacy. Using it with other CVS coupons really depends on your store, and you would just have to ask a cashier if you can. but if they are friendly, they may let you use a 2/10 and 4/20 in the same transaction. Never hurts to ask because they could be a stack friendly store!

Tide Free ROCKS!!! DH has HORRIBLE skin issues and it's the ONLY thing that doesn't cause him problems. In his case, All Free made him break out worse than "regular" detergents.

I have one store manager that will basically take almost any of the coupons I have except for that one unless I buy non-prescreption medication. I asked her what she thought the definition of non-prescription meant and that did not seem to go over very well. It is only $2 off and that store has generally been very good to me so I quickly dropped it.

I just dont know what's the !@#$ wrong with people that rob public stores that have state of the art survielence systems?! Even if they get to the camera processing gear and take and/or destroy it, whats to say that survielence hasn't already been transmitted to the mothership somewhere offsite!

So if I buy 5 Tides or 9 Charmins, and use the 4 off 20 coupon plus manufacturer's coupons, do I still get the $5 ECB (because the net total will be under $20)?
What happens if my CVS is out of stock? We only have 2 in town and they're both tiny & never have anything in stock. For sure they won't have 9 Charmins.

You only need the pre-coupon price to be over $20.
Some stores will give a rain check with a mention of the ECB deal, but I've never been able to get any to do that. Your best bet will probably be to be prepared to buy other items as part of the deal if there's anything else you might want. You could also ask when they get their new shipment and try to get there when they put out the new stuff.
Or you could buy some at one store and finish the deal at the other store. Just make sure to leave a few hours in between for the system to catch up with your first purchase, otherwise the ECB won't print and you'll have to contact CVS to get it.
if you have any use for batteries, 3 tides and 1 duracell or 6 charmins and 1 duracell will get you just barely over $20

You only need the pre-coupon price to be over $20.
Some stores will give a rain check with a mention of the ECB deal, but I've never been able to get any to do that.

No need for batteries, we use rechargeables. I'll maybe split it up into 2 purchases at different times

I just dont know what's the !@#$ wrong with people that rob public stores that have state of the art survielence systems?! Even if they get to the camera processing gear and take and/or destroy it, whats to say that survielence hasn't already been transmitted to the mothership somewhere offsite! It must be like a cat and mouse game to the robbers. Sooner or later they WILL be caught.
What State of Art Surveillance camera? Even if they have, if the criminals wear ski masks or whatnot, to cover their faces, how can them be identified on the tape?
FYI, there are at least a doz or more robberies happened in South FL accross 3 counties -all done at 24hr CVS & Walgreen - from Palm Beach to Miami. It has been well over a month, no one is caught yet. Some 24hrs hire guards outside, but the cost is born by the store, so not every 24hr has guards.

I just got back and did almost every weekly deal and some monthlys. The 2L bottles of Sierra mist did not count towards the Pepsi deal.
Dang it! Not that I really need anymore of it. LOL
If I had been there I would have but I sent my hubby to do it. His first and last time running to CVS for me I fear -- even with an exact list, an exact order for my coupons he still came home with random stuff AND called every two minutes to ask a question.
ROFL Mine is the same way. I love it when he comes and says, 'CVS did not have any xxxxx left." And I know darn well they do! It just didn't jump off the shelf into his cart and follow him home. He looks for NOTHING! LOL

Are the $1/1 (any one) Charmin exp 11/30 going through? I just found a stash of 9 of them. I was planning on buying 9 of them---if my CVS had them. (Also found a couple of the $1/1 Bounty exp 11/30)
Anyone know if you can stack (2) $10/$50 CRTs? They have 2 different numbers. Was hoping to bump my order up to $60, use 2 of them, the $4/$20, and the $2/$10.

not sure about the charmins but you can do that with the cvs email coupons. as long as there are different codes and the store lets you stack, it's fine.

Well, I can see your point with the masks and whatnot. If those stores in that area keep getting hit up, they may go to "full service 24 hour stores" meaning that you stand in a waiting room or at a window and place your order and pay before your items are handed over.

Charmin coupons will work if your store takes expired coupons, mine do. They don't beep. I used some P&G exp on 11/30 on Saturday and plan on using again today.

Did all of my weekly deals on Sat and Sun, and now am just waiting till the end of the week. I did about half of the monthly deals I want to do, and don't want to do anymore so my ecb have a place to go later on.
Need to go grocery shopping, but hate spending money now! Think I'll go to Supertarget. They have the best overall prices, but terrible sales and the least variety of any store around here. The fruit isn't good either, but the meat is terrific. Why oh why can't they invent Super CVS stores?! I actually did grocery shop a bit at CVS yesterday. I took my shopping list and got everyone on it that I could at CVS, regardless of price. I mean, who pays $1.19 for a can of chicken noodle soup? Me! With coupons and ecb!
Now I'm just rambling.
Mama--I rarely ask DH to get anything because he'll just go to whatever store and grab the first thing he sees, regarless of price. He once did a short trip to the grocery store, and in 10 min undid a week of saving. Ugh!
Oh, and on the issue of cameras, after my local store got hit, all of the stores got those cameras that show you on the t.v. as you walk in. Not sure where the picture goes.
Have a great day everyone!
For reference... Discussion threads for the next two weeks have been set up...
There are two CVS threads for each weekly ad. So, how do you know what to put where?
- Anything that everyone needs to know should go in the Ad/Deals thread (prices, coupons, what worked that shouldn't have, what didn't work that should have). The Wiki post (always the 2nd post in a thread) is updated constantly by users just like you!
- Ask yourself: "Does someone who is checking this thread via dialup before going to CVS really need to know this information?" If not, put it in the Discussion thread!
- Other stuff like questions, scenarios, what you plan to buy, what you bought, how great the deals are, how bad the deals are, chat where you're getting to know other SD CVS'ers etc, should all go in the discussion thread for each week.
Keeping track of all the CVS threads:
Subscribe to the threads you want to keep track of. (See links below)
To subscribe to a thread when you're already in the thread:
- go to the top of the page
- click on Thread Tools on the upper right hand side
- click Subscribe to this thread
To see the threads you've subscribed to, click "User CP". It's at the top of every page on the left. Any of your subscribed threads that have new posts will show in the center of the page. You can also click “View all subscribed threads” to see all threads, whether they have new posts or not.
(You can also 'sticky' every CVS thread to the top (also under Thread Tools), so if you go into Hot Deals or Deal Talk or Coupons you see all CVS threads at the top of the page.)
NEW: Too many pages in your CVS threads?
You can change your settings to show more posts per page, with the maximum being 40 posts per page. (This lets you scroll down more without having to keep hitting 'next page')
Go to “User CP”
Click on “Edit Options”
Scroll down until you see "Use this option to set the number of posts to show in a thread before splitting the display into multiple pages."
You'll see a drop down box where you can select the Number of Posts to Show Per Page.

For those you who have called customer service to put back the ECBs that didn't print -- Did the rep ask which CVS stores you shop most at? I told her where I shop at and then after keeping the phone down I was wondering if she asked this so she could alert the stores since I stack coupons.:eek: I just hope that's not why she asked me this and it was just random. I have only 2 stores within a 7 mile radius and would hate to drive further away. Oh well, I had one good month since I started CVSing, but would hate to be singled out later for using too many coupons.:(
Another question, how would they know the difference between ECBs used and CVS Q's used if both say CVS coupons??:confused: I only noticed that my CVS coupons are all printed out first on receipt, then some manu Q's and finally by ECBs used. Don't know if that's becuase I handed them in that order or if computer automatically sorts it..

i have called about a similar problem and they also asked for the store i most frequesnt. im not if its how they find out which store the transaction with no ECB's happened at, but my store manager called me to apologize about them ECB's not working. so they must call district and let it trickle down from there. i stack too so it shouldn't be an issue.

They always ask what store you frequent the most. I don't think it has anything to do with that particular order you are calling about. You give them the transaction number and they look up the receipt. On that receipt is the store number. So they already know where you bought that stuff. Whether they can tell if you stacked or not???????? Not by looking at the printed receipt. It doesn't specify what kind of cvs coupons you used, but they might have the actual codes you used when they are looking at the transaction at CS.

Okay now I am rethinking doing the Pepsi deal. I have not even paid much attention to that one since I needed TP and PT/Tide items. If I go in JUST for that deal, what could I get to make it barely $15?
I have BOGO Sierra Mist (2 cpns) and also have not printed the Mug ones if those work also. Are these definately counting towards the deal? I would like to do 2 liters since I have lots of cans from the target deal, but really whatever! Could also do chips...off to look around!

a word of warning for any of you who may have bought the ninja action figure toys from cvs. i bought the box set (includes about 5 action figures, motorcycle, etc.) for my son & gave it to him as a gift. he loved it but within the first 10 minutes of playing with it, we discovered pieces breaking off!! heads breaking off, holsters breaking off & weapons not fitting into the figures hands!! i think that these toys are not only defective but unsafe. my poor son asked me for the toys later in the day & he was so disappointed when i told him that he couldn't play with them b/c they had to be fixed!
anyway, if you bought these toys you may want to take a second thought about keeping them. they are cheap & unsafe. i called cvs cs & told them. they said that i should return it to the store, to which i promptly said "no way"! i've only tried to return 2 or 3 things (of the thousands) that i buy there and always have a problem b/c of using ecb's to pay for the original transaction. so cs said i would get a call from the district mgr to resolve the issue!
i'm bold now!! thx to all my cvs friends!

I got them when they were on sale before too. Haven't given them out, but both my dad and DH have looked at them - both in CVS and in their ad - like they're interested in them. Since I had so many put up, I didn't offer to buy them when we were in store (like I do with most stuff)!

This afternoon I found a Nova and attempted to purchase it using the $50 off coupon. When the manager went to do whatever it is he does to adjust the coupon and make it go through, he said he was unable to push it through because it's "one coupon per customer". I asked, "So you can tell how many I've purchased on this card?" and he responded "Yes". Is that true? Can they really tell at the register if I've purchased Novas before and used the coupon from the diabetes booklet?

I don't think they can tell at the registers, but don't know for sure. But, if you bought another one at that store, he could use the 'one coupon per customer' line on you even if you were trying to use a different card. Who knows what they're trying to do for sure. I overheard two pharmacists talking at one of our stores about a guy that wanted them to order 100 Novas just for him.
I've got to believe the CVS pharmacists are tired of this deal at this point!

Yup, the rep did ask me that too. I wondered for while why but when I used the card I realized the ecb they owed me printed at that particular store I mentioned. Might just be a coincidence but I had gone to two stores before that visit and no ecb. I also get more crts only from that particular store. Weird. Don't think it's for stacking though.

Might just be a coincidence but I had gone to two stores before that visit and no ecb. I also get more crts only from that particular store. Weird. Don't think it's for stacking though.
That was just a coinky dink. I've had to have ECB reset a few times due to my bad habit of going to CVS right before close on Saturday. Apparently by then the sales are out of the register and my bucks never print. The reissued ones print wherever I use my card first after the 48 hour wait.

Another question, how would they know the difference between ECBs used and CVS Q's used if both say CVS coupons??:confused: I only noticed that my CVS coupons are all printed out first on receipt, then some manu Q's and finally by ECBs used. Don't know if that's becuase I handed them in that order or if computer automatically sorts it..
I'm not sure if they do know the difference. There may be a way to trace the codes used then figure out if they were $/$$ codes or ECB codes but I can't imagine that being worth the effort.
If you want to avoid the questions when you call just send an email. I've had ECBs set to print from just doing that. It works fine and you don't get questions like that. But I don't think they mean anything negative by asking questions, they're just trying to figure out general shopping patterns. Lots of people have called for various things and it hasn't lead to problems.
On page 20 of my ad there is a Braun PocketGo Shaver. Does anyone know anything about this ? Is it worth buying ? I was considering getting it for a stocking stuffer for DH, just wondering if it would be worth my time ?

My expired 11/30 Charmin Q's went through just fine :)
The P&G coupons aren't coded to expire so if the store doesn't care you can pretty much use them forever-- but just be careful to make sure the store is ok with taking expired coupons, don't want anyone getting in trouble over something like that. There are some stores who are fine with taking coupons as long as they don't beep or are less than 2 months expired. :)

Ah ha! this explains why I didn't get my $5 ECB for purchasing $15 Tylenol about 2 weekends ago on a Saturday about 8 PM. I didn't bring it to the store's attention or anything since I used coupons, but the $5 ECB would have been nice! I wonder if it's to late now? =P

I've noticed on the receipts that when it says CVS Coupon, certain lines are in SLIGHTLY smaller print. I wonder if this could be anything to distinguish. Probably nothing!

These are great for the guys that need a quick 5 O'clock shaddow shave after work.
This afternoon I found a Nova and attempted to purchase it using the $50 off coupon. When the manager went to do whatever it is he does to adjust the coupon and make it go through, he said he was unable to push it through because it's "one coupon per customer". I asked, "So you can tell how many I've purchased on this card?" and he responded "Yes". Is that true? Can they really tell at the register if I've purchased Novas before and used the coupon from the diabetes booklet?
I would have called his BLUFF and asked to see the POS screen. Chances are he was FOS! He could have very easily turned the LCD so that you could have seen it. If he still said no, tell him you'll give him a chance to 'come clean' before you you call 800-SHOP-CVS and report him by name, title, and location for DENYING a VALID sale. Whenever a CVS employee tells you they are a manager, ask them what level manager and over what, as there are different levels and most are just assistant mgrs. Most store managers are nice, but the assistant mgrs. are the EVIL and MEAN ones (they are paid to take the heat from the customer).

I asked, "So you can tell how many I've purchased on this card?" and he responded "Yes". Is that true? Can they really tell at the register if I've purchased Novas before and used the coupon from the diabetes booklet?
The trick to this is to have the cashier enter it manually as a store coupon for $29.99 (do not let them scan it), and then call over the mgr. who just waves their little card, and it takes off the $29.99. I found this out after trial and error. When they scan the coupon, unless you have a big order, it won't work because the coupon is for $50. And... they have no idea how many you have purchased, but I only did one at a time because the coupon does say "one coupon per customer" as do all the cpns in the diabetes book. I did it that way to avoid any problems. Of course on the bottom of your receipt, you can see the total. I also did one at a time to avoid one huge ECB.
Now: I don't know if this is the BIG NEWS I thought it was, but basically what I've been told by TWO supervisors at the ExtraCare Dept. (separate phone conversations) is that all ECB w/Rainchecks will now be handled as follows: The store must issue the R/C for the amount NET of whatever ECB you would have gotten at the time if they had the item. I asked for an e-mail outlining this because I'm sure, as with everything else at CVS, there is no consensus on this "new" policy at store level. Anyway, it was explained to me that they are trying to cut down on phone calls and attempting to have problems resolved in the stores. This is good news and bad news, depending on how you view it. It will not help to get your order total higher when you need to (by buying all those R/C items), but you won't have to deal with expiring ECB for those items, either (because you won't have any). You will not have to call after 48 hours to have the ECB added to your account as well.
On Black Friday, I did get R/C for several items, and the ones that were "Free after EB" were issued with the word "Free" in the price area. I have attached a copy of the portion of the ad to each R/C so there will be no questions when I redeem them. The R/C for the camera was simply written up as $59.99 ($99.99 less $40 ECB). I think I read that someone was unable to get any R/C, but I had no problems getting them on that day.
One more thing: Quite some time ago, I let all the SDers know that the Hershey's Canisters were never going to be shipped and to call for a $5 coupon instead. Now, I'm not so sure that the Mars Die Cast Car Set deal is working either. I spent $11 on the products (you had to spend at least $10), but I am not "on the list" per CS, and they say I spent $9.99. There weren't even any products with $.99 in their prices that week that I purchased, so it makes no sense. They said they will send it to me, but I'm not so sure. Has anyone received this? It was from September, and said 6-8 weeks.

Okay I had the weirdest night I have ever had in my entire life, and it all revolved around my CVS trip. I went to my used to be favorite CVS store tonight. It used to be my favorite, but then they got a new manager who is still being trained, and when she is there, no coupons that beep can even be considered let alone keyed in. The problem is, she is litterally always there, so I can't just go when she isn't on so that my coupons can be looked at. It was okay when it was just one coupon or so, but tonight she gave me back $24 in coupons, so I asked her to void my order out. My total after coupons was $70, and it should have been about $35, so I don't think the cashier even scanned all the coupons she took.
So, I went to another CVS a few miles away, and got the same order and all my coupons went through without a single beep and my total was $35. I used $34 in ECBs and got back $31.50. I did a second smaller order with the free after ECB deals, and then my 7 year old son and I walked out to the car. I was loading things in the trunk, and here my son yell "Mommy that is a bad man, he is running with a gun!" I told him to just go get in the car, and that it must have been a newspaper or something. Anyways, I always check my reciepts and such in the car before I leave. About 3 minutes later up pull all kinds of cops. There really was a robbery and a man with a gun, and to think the guy looked right at my baby when he said that! I felt so guilty about not believing him, but men don't usually go around running with guns, especially not where we live, and he was across a parking lot from us. I did tell my son that from now on he should tell an adult quietly if he sees something, and not yell it out loud. Anyways, that was my crazy CVS night. I had planned on going to Target too, but thought it better not to push my luck!

I have been loosing interest in CVS'ing too..it takes way to much time. As much as I want to stop, I can not. I have a 5 month old and formula cost too much to give this up. I have been cutting back though, which pissed me off when I realized last week I passed up the good wisk deal. (I did not realize I had $1 off coupons...buy 4 with filler for $10- $2/10 and $4 in coupons =$4 for 4...:headbang: :headbang: ) My mom loves wisk!
