These are the best deals I see at CVS this week. If you are new to CVS’s loyalty program and to Extra Care Bucks, I explain in detail here. Learn to read this shopping list here.

FYI – the Progresso Coupon has been a “no show” for awhile now.
And if the Fiber One shows up and says “get a free sample” that also does not work
but the $1 off Frozen Grand biscuits on the site does still work
I printed 2 copies of the Progresso coupon just now (11:35 am on Oct 18). I just refreshed the page like Carrie said to do. I have 20th Century dial up, so if it works for me it will work for everyone!!!
Does the Bic $3/1 Q work on these particular BIC razors on sale at CVS? There is also $2/1 Q in same ad in same inserts that does picture same type of BIC razor as in CVS ad. Carrie’s readers–please post if $3/1 does work for the CVS Bic razors on sale.
Carrie:
The Hershey’s $1/3 coupon from 9/27 Smartsource insert expired `10/17–does CVS take expired Q’s?
Thanks Carrie for the candy scenarios ~ using some ECB’s and a $4/20 coupon I was able to get all my halloween candy (8 bags of fun size) for $.74 OOP!!
The CVS in Coon Rapids on University did not have the High Fiber Progresso soup which is what the coupon is for.
Couldn’t get Progresso ad to even display in IE7 tried different browser and now it appears
The $3 Bic coupon worked for me, except I apparently read the prices wrong and accidentally bought 2 of the $6.99 razor packages! Oops!
I wasn’t able to get the Progresso coupon to work either.
I purchased the 4 bags of Hershey and 4 of Nestle, but was unable to stack the 2 manufacture’s coupons on the Hershey products (Use $1/3 coupon from 9/27 Smartsource insert and the “Buy three, get one free” coupon from 10/18 Smartsource insert). Did I do something wrong?
Matt – What happened? The clerk told you that you couldn’t use both?
Yeah, she said that the computer told her that we could only use one coupon and would have to buy an additional 3 bags in order to use the second coupon. Is there a particular order the coupons need to be processed in?
Can you use the BOGO Trident coupon with the $.75 off coupon? I’m not too familiar with CVS yet?
At the CVS I go to (Mounds View) there are no razors cheaper than $6.99 that qualify for the $3 off coupon. The cashier said that because the coupon specifically states ONLY the Soleil razors those are the ones that have to be purchased…FYI.
The Nestle candy bars are 2/$7, that threw off my whole scenerio…I didn’t get the great deal I thought I was going to. In addition, I couldn’t use the $5 off coupon because the register said I already used it. Bummer.
I had great luck getting the candy at CVS this week. I actually used 4 of the $2.00 off Nestle’s products coupons that Carrie told us about on the website yesterday and then used the Buy 3 Get 1 Free for the Hershey’s. I paid $9.50 OOP and got $5.00 ECB so I paid $4.50 for 8 bags of candy which is $.56 per bag. I think that was one of the best deals I have gotten in the 3 weeks I’ve been doing this. Thanks Carrie!
I went to the new CVS on Brooklyn BLVD & West Broadway, they opened on Sunday. Everyone was really helpful there and very patient when trying to figure out how to redeem my raincheck from the Kashi cereal last week.
I asked about the Green Bag Tag thing and they had no idea.
Here’s how I did:

cvs does not take expired coupons :(
At the CVS in Anoka, they wouldn’t let me put the Trident towards my $20 as stated in deal idea 1. Did anyone else have this issue??? I had to buy 2 more bags of candy, but I did have the BOGO coupon for the Trident and the $1 coupon and they took both, so I got 2 packs and they were free.
