    Hi, the Revlon beauty tools link takes me to a Target coupon page and I can’t find the coupon listed there. Does anyone have any tips on what zip to use or category to look in?

      The Revlon coupon comes from the Target website, but its actually a manufacturer’s rather than a Target coupon, so you should be able to use it at CVS.

          JoAnna,

          Even if your CVS doesn’t accept competitor’s coupons, it should accept the Revlon coupon because it is a manufacturer’s coupon and NOT a target coupon. Some of the coupons from the Target website are manufacturer’s coupons and you do not know until you print them.

    Carrie, the Prilosec deal could be super hot if you combine it with the following rebate
    purchase (2) 42 count, you get $25 gift card. That means (2) 42 ct boxes for $5 – wow!!

    “BUY any (2) Prilosec OTC 42 count Products, MAIL the original cash register receipt(s) dated between 12/26/10 and 2/15/11, with your retailers name, the date, and the purchase price of each product circled AND the TWO UPC symbols cut from the label of each product purchased TOGETHER WITH the completed original Redemption Form, which can be downloaded at http://www.PrilosecOTC.com/rebate, in a properly stamped envelope, postmarked no later than 3/1/11 To: Prilosec OTC Deal, P.O. box 900089, El Paso, TX 88590-0089.”

    Sorry but MN did NOT get the $4/1 listerine coupon…not sure why that one is posted.

    Also, if anyone signed up for the FREE excedrin coupons it could make for a nice money maker.

    Listerine coupon deal doesnt calculate right or I am tired? use 2 – $2 cpns
    2x$5 = $10

    The Nivea deal has actually been a running deal from sometime in December until January 11, 2011. I saw it in a CVS ad in either a Red Plum or Smart Source from a few weeks back. And I did it again today, and even though it said “Limit 1″ in the ad, it doesn’t show that I reached my limit. Therefore, if Nivea is not in this week’s advertisement, it actually is an unadvertised deal for buying $20 and getting 5 back. They have the B1G1 Nivea coupons in one of the inserts this week, so it would make a good deal paired with some of the $2/2 from liking Nivea on Facebook. I’ve gotten the lip balm/lip gloss several times in the past few months when they had promotions and used them in Christmas gift baskets. EVERYONE loved them, and they are now my favorite as well.

    I’m with Val–I still am not able to find the Revlon coupon on the Target website. If you spot it, I’d love to know the zip code and/or category. Our foster cats always come to us with long nails and we go through nail clippers quickly!

      There was a $1 off of Planters Nutrition in one of my Smart Source inserts today. If you get a Sunday paper, then it is just as good!

    How can we use 2 of the Listerine coupons if they say “Limit one coupon per purchase”? I don’t think that’s going to be possible.

    I appreciate this website and the work done by the people behind it, but I was really surprised to read comments such as
    “this deal requires printing from multiple computers” and
    “use 4 of this coupon”, and
    “this deal requires having more than one RedPlum Insert” I mean, really?
    What store is going to accept more than one manufacturer’s coupon? None. I think the website could focus more on real, doable deals that people can actually use (even if that means that some weeks have fewer deals that others), rather than dozens and dozens of apparent deals that are false because no store is actually going to accept them (or no one is actually getting 4 copies of the Sunday magazine.)
    I was SO excited about this website, but now my enthusiasm is starting to dwindle.

      I have NEVER had a grocery store, CVS, or big box store like Wal-Mart or Target NOT accept multiple copies of the same coupon. You can’t use more than 4 on the P&G, because it says that they only permit 4 of like coupons on the coupon. Limit one coupon per purchase actually means that you can use one coupon on each you purchase. If it said one coupon per transaction (the P&G say 4 per transaction), then that would keep you from using it. But you can definitely use more than one Listerine coupon if you are purchasing multiple Listerine bottles.

      I think this blog is very practical. Carrie and Laura have been a blessing for writing up these lists every week for so many of us to use!

      Welcome Stefania. From what I know, ‘one per purchase’ means one coupon per one item you buy. For example, you are allowed to use 2 coupons on 2 bottles of Listerine as you are purchasing two bottles. Yes, stores won’t let you use more than one manufacturer coupon on one item, however 1 per item is generally accepted and I’ve never run into any issues. I believe you were thinking it meant coupon per total order. A coupon would read ‘one per transaction’ if that were the case. I know it’s confusing :) As far as getting or having multiple coupons, numerous people order or buy more than one copy of the Sunday paper. For me, I get two copies and my mom gives me her inserts, so I have 3 already! Ask friends or family for extras, most people are willing to share! Hope that helped some :)

    Just to let you know…the Palmolive dishsoap this week is $.88. There were 2 coupons in the paper this week..one for .75 off one and 2.00 off two. I used both, got 3 bottles of soap for about thirteen cents!!

    About the NicoDerm deal – I bought a package today (hubby wants to quit) and there was a peely on it for an additional $7 off that the very nice clerk decided I should stack with my $15 coupon to see if the register would allow it and it did! My final cost was just $8! Yahoo! :-)

    There was a coupon for Nutrition bars, underneath of the $1 of nuts, in one of my Smart Source inserts. I believe it’s either $1 off one or $1 off of 2. Taking the “worst case scenario,” you could take two coupons for $1 off 2, buy 4, and then pay $4 or $1 each after coupons and ECB’s.

    • Meghan says:

      I just got home and checked my coupons. The coupons I got in the Smart Source are for $1 off of 1 box of Nutrition. Therefore, if you use 4, it will make them 50 cents each after ECB’s.

      IT varies by store. I know that the CVS In Rogers and in St. Micheal won’t take expired Extra Care coupons or dollars, and that I was told it was a company wide policy. They told me to call customer care line and see if they can reissue them.

    Add Blaine on 108th to the list of stores that accept expired cvs coupons & ecb’s. I spoke to the manager (Barb) & she said it’s up to the manager whether they take expired’s or not. It would be nice if it was a store wide policy to take the guess work out of it. Also not sure how expired they can be. Again no policy in place.

    I am so frustrated! I was so excited earlier because I received my 2 coupons for free excedrin. When I went to the store today, she wouldn’t take them. Then she had the nerve to tell me that “it was like stealing”. How embarrassing…there were 3 people behind me, and she basically called me a thief. I asked her “how do you figure”? I have a coupon for a free product, and you tell me that I am stealing. The nerve of some people! That didn’t even make sense!
