About Carrie Rocha
Thank you!
On the Glade deal it includes the refills for the sense and spray at 2/$5 I have 4-$1 Q’s on any glade product. So buying 4 and using 4 -$1 Q;s less and $3ECB will be net oop $ for 4 refills. Not sure but the starter kit is usually included at CVS everytime this sale goes on and usually $6 and there are $3/1 Q’s for that. – Walmart does have the starter kits at $4.88 currently but with ECB a better deal right now.
I have a question. I see in the ad that they have buy2 get1 free of the hershey’s bars. I have a coupon for b1g1 on hershey’s special dark. Would that be ilke buying one and getting two for free if they have the special dark bars?/
Yes, if that variety is included.
Yes, that worked for me. The individual Hershey bars are buy two get one free and the coupon is by two get one free, so I paid for one. Also, the Neutrogena lip products were on sale for $2.99 at my CVS. Rainbow has them for .99. With the BOGO coupon I decided to use it at Rainbow instead (except they were all out and said they won’t issue a raincheck until the middle of the week).
Thanks for Carrie and everyone at PYD!
Can’t go wrong with free gum :)
Last week Carrie said something like “Print the $5 Zantac…could be useful.”
I wish this was Thanksgiving because….well…I am thankful.
I have two Rainbow $3.50 off Pediasure coupons. Looking for best deal ideas.
CVS brand Newborn diapers were on clearance for $2.32 for 40 count pack. They were scanning at a cheaper price than the shelf indicated.
Rochelle,
What CVS did you find the CVS brand newborn diapers on clearance at?
university and 109th in coon rapids
Thanks for the heads up on the clearance newborn diapers. I was going to be making a diaper cake for a baby shower and these are perfect and cheap! I also got a bonus because as I was looking for the newborn diapers on clearance I found size 3 CVS brand diapers on clearance too that were marked 50% off on the shelf and when I scanned them they came up at another 50% off the shelf price, so I was able to get my son 2 packs of diapers for cheap too! Amy, I found the clearance diapers at the CVS in Roseville on Rice Street. Thanks again!
I had a weird experience at CVS yesterday. I tried to do the Nivea B1G1 deal to get the $5 ECB’s. It didn’t print the ECB’s and only gave me credit for two of the lip glosses (apparently on the two I didn’t have coupons before). This has never happened to me before at CVS.
I had the same thing happen to me today. When I mentioned it to the cashier she issued the ECB’s anyways.
I tried to get them to issue ECB’s, but the cashier wasn’t understanding what I was saying. She said I used coupons and I explained that it had never and should never discount the coupon from the amount spent. I ended up having them refund the two most expensive ones and they let me keep the two free ones, so it was a better deal out of pocket.
I plan to do that deal as well, so I have a cashier as helpful as yours. I have an ECB, and it’s my first one! I’m going to use it and 2 of the B1G1 Qs on the Nivea lip deal. I’m a big fan of their lip balm.
When I went I used my first ECB as well and I got 4 of the Nivea lip balms, and three of the Herseys choc. I used 2 b1g1 for the Nieva and a b1g1 for the Herseys and saw a coupon for $3 of a purchase of $10 or more on cosmetics if you sign up for the beauty program (cashier let me use it) and got a $5 ECB back. I only paid .06 cents…boy was I happy!
I think the Garnier Bamboo Hair Color printable is gone now.
Today the manager at CVS told me that ECB’s don’t expire, has anyone else ever heard of this?
Cheryl–Chanhassen CVS told me they take CVS coupons and ECBs expired but not manufacturer coupons.
Cheryl – It depends on which CVS you go to. Both of the CVS stores near me (Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove) accept expired ECBs – I believe one of them accepts them up to 6 months past and the other has no limit on the expiration date.
