   Woohoo! DEAL works on Skintimate shave cream YAY! Mine rang up at 2.19 Central Florida… You can actually get 10 for 21.90 -10(1.50/1) cpns = 6.90 plus 10 ECB… that is if you are an extreme couponer. 😀 JK Any combination of the shave cream, gels, disposable and hydro make for almost or FREE deals after ECBs… Happy shopping!

  BTW My CVS is 24hr and sales start at midnight. Although the manager had told me before that I could go at this time, I had never tried it. I went because I’m taking the kids to Sunday school and then to Winnie the Pooh movie. 😀 Nevertheless, I was very fortunate to meet those in charge of the out of stock when I go later during the day and man what a mess. i might try this again if deals are worth it or have plans on Sunday, but I sure hope I don’t become one of those extreme couponers… poor kids (3 to be exact) sitting in the car alone at 1am while mommy coupons. I heart couponing but an eye opener to people: saving money is great but my children’s well-being and safety goes beyond any freebie or deal 😀

  That’s terrible =( i feel bad for those kids!!!! Couponing is suppose to be fun & beneficial, but its DEFINITELY not something to drag your kids out (& leave them in the car alone) at 1 am.

  You are a horrible person to even consider/joke about leaving your 3 kids in a car at 1AM while you coupon. WTF!?!

  If I’m not mistaken she was making an observation of something she saw, not joking about doing it herself.

  I am sorry for misreading. Didn’t think an actual apology was needed once everyone figured out I am an idiot. But I do feel bad and hope you didn’t get too upset or were too bothered by what I said. Sorry again 🙂

   I’m sure this has been posted before or is currently posted somewhere that I’m overlooking, but if I print the coupons off of cvs.com and then go and print some off of another coupon site for the same amount and same product can I stack these coupons?

   For instance..
   on the CVS site: $2 off any Visine (but says redeemable only at CVS)
   on the general coupons.com site: $2 off any Visine (does not say only good at a specific store)

   Can I stack and get $4 off? Hope that wasn’t confusing.

  Yes you can … usually at any store, cvs, publix, target, you can STACK… use one manufacturers and one store coupon. Watch out for lettering…. if it says use at Cvs on the corner but manufacturer on top then no… because they would be two manufacturers… Hope this helps…

  Kodi Namco July 24, 2011 at 4:30 pm MST

  Ketsy is right. I checked the “CVS” coupon out and when you print it the top reads “Manufacturer Coupon” so it is NOT a CVS coupon but a manufacturer coupon making it non-stackable.

   I tried to get the gas deal this past week by purchasing neutrogena naturals bars (I had 4 B1G1 printables) thinking that they would fall under the “cleanser” umbrella. it was also advertised that the neutrogena “cleansers” were B1G50%off. THE BARS DID NOT SHOW UP AS COUNTING FOR THE GAS DEAL OR THE SALE. I called cvs customer service and they informed me that none of the bars are considered cleansers. Just an FYI, it might happen again this week if someone tries that.

   For those wondering, I went to cvs tonight and the cream gel was included in the sale ($2.19). I bought 10 and got the EB. Also, did two transactions for the Aussie/herbal essences. Though my total for the gas deal was 20 cents short of $30 the reward still printed. So FYI, you could do Colins awesome deal without the gum purchase. 🙂 thanks for the deals Colin!!

   I received a coupon from the CVS coupon machine for $2 off any 2 shampoo or conditioner, so here’s what I did
   Buy 2 L’oreal EverPure, EverStrong, or EverSleek shampoo or conditioner 8.5 oz or treatment 1.8-6 oz = $5 Ecb (limit 1)
   My CVS had them on sale for $6 plus each came with an attached travel size shampoo and conditioner:
   I bought 1L’oreal shampoo (with travel size included) and 1 Conditioner (with travel size included)
   Subtotal= $12
   used (2) $2/1 coupons
   used the coupon $2/2
   Paid: $6
   Received: $5 ECB
   Final cost was 0.50 cents for each

   Im new to couponing and I was wondering if for the gas card scenario can you use ECB’s from your other purchases towards the 15.XX total to pay less but still get the $10 gas card

   Does anyone know if the palmolvie rinse aid $1 off (from P&G – exp 7/31) can be used on the .99 Palmolive? I’ve tried searching for ‘palmolive rinse aid’ but can’t find this as a separate product. any thoughts?

  Melissa July 24, 2011 at 7:59 pm MST

  Palmolive is not a P&G product. Its colgate. I don’t think Palmolive even makes a rinse aid, just dishwashing liquid and dishwashing detergent.

    Question about rainchecks and CVS…. If I get a raincheck for a product that has ECB’s associated with it, will I get the ECB’s when I redeem the raincheck?

    Reply2
• 

  kit July 24, 2011 at 7:37 pm MST

  yes 🙂

  on one raincheck i got 2 extra ECBs on the revlon nail polish because i used my raincheck (4.99 get 4 ECB) and revlon nail was giving 2 ECBs that week. i don’t shop at CVS often because it’s 10 miles away, so that may have been a fluke. i don’t have enough experience w/ CVS to know.

  Andrea July 24, 2011 at 11:31 pm MST

  My CVS has given me rainchecks that do include getting the ECB back. There is even a designated space for ECBs on the raincheck. However, when I have had a raincheck with ECB on it, my awesome clerk at CVS has also just given me the overall price for the item. For example, if my raincheck was for a $4.00 razor with $3.00 ECB, my clerk would just ring up my razor for $1.00.

  By the way, I have also called my store and corporate to acknowledge the courteousness and assistance this clerk has provided. I use many coupons and shop with a 3 year old and 10 month old, and he’s always been terrific. So many times people only call the store or corporate to ask questions or complain, but calling to acknowledge positive experiences can also go a long way.

  Jennifer, They do write ECB’s into raincks, which makes me much prefer CVS to Walgreen’s. I’m also told their raincks don’t expire!!
  Andrea, What an awesome clerk! I think it’s great that you called to tell them too! They say the ratio of telling others about a neg experience vs positive is 4 to 1. We all need to work on that, the good needs to be recognized!!

    Collin, please help! I know you also have a MacBook Pro so I hope you can help me figure my coupon printing problem. I have been trying to print coupons that uses “bricks” powered by coupons.com and everytime I click on “Print Your Coupons”, it ALWAYS says “We’re Sorry! It appears we don’t support your printer”. This is weird because it only does that with “bricks” system because i have been able to print coupons from smartsource or redplum sites just fine using my MacBook pro laptop. Any advice?

  Hi Jenn (& Collin). I seem to be having the same issue as well, I’m not sure what it is. I thought maybe I was missing a plug-in or something, but I’ve tried everything I can possibly think of! Still no coupons from coupons.com site… 🙁 If you guys figure this out, please share. Thanks in advance!

    How would we break the Aussie into two transactions and still get the ECB? Do they track the reciept, or rescan it?

  Jennifer July 25, 2011 at 8:47 am MST

  If I am right, what you purchase is all tracked on your ExtraCare card. So, you can make the transactions back to back or spread them out throughout the sale week. It will still be tracked on your ExtraCare card and will print your ECB once you meet the purchase requirements. Hope that helps!

    If I buy two of the CVS value vitamins (approx. 19.29 BOGO), would my total towards the gas rebate be 19.29 or 38.58?

  Jennifer S July 26, 2011 at 3:49 pm MST

  BOGO items on Gas Card deal you only get the amount for the 1st item not the free item. I tried that a few weeks back with the Nature Bounty vitamins.

    1 renu sensitive contact solution @ 7.89
    1 hydro 5 razor @ 7.99
    1 shick intuition @ 11.29
    then I used
    2 .55 Q
    1 3.00 Q
    2 2.00 Q
    for a total before tax of 23.45 and I got back 16 ECB’s

    Transaction 2
    3 boxes of cereal $6.00
    2 colgate toothpaste $5.00
    4 dish soap $4.98
    2 2pk of pilot g2 pens bogo @ $4.29
    used Q;s
    1 1.00 q
    2 .75 q
    4 .25 q
    and my 16 ecb’s

  I’d say that if those are all items you need and use, you did great! $7 for 3 boxes of cereal, contact solution, and a bunch of other items–that’s great:)

    I have a question not necessarily related to CVS. I was actually at Kroger this morning and purchased $0.60 worth of items (subtotal, after coupons) and was taxed $0.20! Is there some rule/law about taxes and coupon use? I never noticed this before. I guess because I’ve never had a total so low, it just jumped out at me this time.

  I know that in my state/county we are reponsible for the tax on the full amount of the product prior to coupons.

  OK, now I’m more confused. Was at CVS today and was only taxed on the sale price. Apparently not a state/county thing. Could it be a store to store thing?

    Anyone else notice free or almost free Nature Made vitamins this week? Magic coupon machine is giving out $2/1 Nature Made vitamins. If you go 2 days in a row stack two of the CVS $2/1 with two $1/1 Mfg coupons from Nature Made’s website and you get two bottles for free or almost free!
