   I can’t seem to find the Brita Rebate on the site?? Does anyone know if the replacement filters are included in the rebate?

  The rebate form says “for pour through pitcher or faucet mount system”. Replacement filters must not be included. Bummer because I need filters.

  I just got a rebate form from Bed Bath and Beyond that includes the filters (4-pk). Not sure if it is only valid through BBB or if you can purchase somewhere but according to the paperwork, it is valid through Jan 31.

   Thanks! But on the cheerios deal, I’m pretty sure those $/2 coupons won’t work. Since 1 upc scanned for those double-packs, and the coupon is off 2 individual boxes, the register will be looking for a 2nd box to attach the coupon to. Maybe a cashier will push it through, b/c you are “buying” 2 boxes, its just that they are shrink wrapped together. Also, several CVS stores I shop only have the Honey Nut Cheerios and Original Cheerios (yellow box) that are part of the double pack deal, not the Multi Grain.

  Ronni January 14, 2012 at 7:31 pm MST

  You are right….they’ve had these double packages in my area for a few weeks now and the coupons do not work. It will depend on the cashier/manager.

   Hi, I was wondering if the spend $30 get a $10 CVS cash card rolls over week to week. For example, can I spend less than $30 this week and spend the rest to add up to $30 the next week and still get a $10 CVS cash card? Thanks!

   Reply1
• 

  Kacie January 14, 2012 at 7:40 pm MST

  I’m pretty sure it does roll over from week to week because at the beginning of this week, my receipt said that I already had so much toward the $30. It will be on the bottom of your receipt when you go to CVS. Buy one item and it will tell you how much you have to buy to get to $30.

  Reply1
• 

  mel January 14, 2012 at 8:00 pm MST

  NO, it does not roll over. If you only spent $24 by today, that amount will drop off your receipt and you have to start over next week.

  Kacie January 14, 2012 at 8:15 pm MST

  Hmm…well, good to know! I’m not sure what I bought to put the extra money towards my $30, but I’m glad it was there anyway! 😉

  Reply1
• 

  mel January 15, 2012 at 8:27 am MST

  what it does is keep track, you don’t have to buy the $30 worth at once. You can space it out during the week, but you have to have the $30 met by the close of Saturday, otherwise you loose it.

   Not trying to cause drama, but a lot of CVS’s start their sales at some point on Saturdays. The matchups would be much more helpful if they were posted on Thursday or Friday so we could have more time to plan. The night before at 9:30 doesn’t leave much time…..especially when the sale is working today.

  mel January 14, 2012 at 8:06 pm MST

  Not trying to cause drama either, but why not start planning ahead yourself? The ad is posted online @ cvs.com on Thursday, its usually posted a week or 2 ahead (with a scanned copy of the ad!) at several grocery forums, as well as iheartcvs. I do like to compare my list to what is posted here to see if I might have missed something, but for the most part I’ve already gotten my deals planned out for heading out the door Sunday morning well before Saturday.

  None of us have to pay for the services Collin provides to us. You get her matchups and helpful information for FREE. Any service she provides at any time is up to her and I greatly appreciate it, ESPECIALLY knowing she has a family and has a life outside of couponing! When did people start complaining so much over someone’s help that is provided for FREE?! I just don’t get it! THANK YOU COLLIN FOR ALL YOU DO, AND THANK YOU NO MATTER WHEN IT GETS POSTED!

  Well, the information is free to us, but Collin is not doing it for free technically…see the ads on the sidebar? She makes money with ads on this web site. So it’s really a hobby for her that’s also a job that brings in income. And for a web site of this size, that ad space probably sells for quite a bit of money. So it’s really no different than if you go to a news site and read the news for “free”…they get their money from advertisers, not from readers like us. So if you want to start a site like this, you can…it will be A LOT of work, but if you grow it big like she has (very difficult to do), it can be quite lucrative. Having said that, I still love the site Collin, and keep up the good work! Thanks!

  I CANNOT believe you just said that!!! If I were her…I would block you from the site! RUDE!

  Jen January 15, 2012 at 8:45 pm MST

  What can’t you believe? I am not criticizing Collin – I think she has the best site of this genre, she does excellent work and I use it all the time…I love it! She should absolutely keep it up. But you are very mistaken if you think she does this for “free”. For a site of this size and popularity (Alexa rank <1000 in the US), if she is not making well above 6 figures, she needs to get a new online marketing person. Do you think the ads on the sidebar give her no money? I have to applaud her for keeping ads to a minimum, she does a good job so that we don't have to be bombarded with them. If she sold more ad space, the site would look unsightly (pun intended) but it would make a lot more money. I work in eCommerce and trust me, this site could/should be making quite a lot of money. An ex-client with an Alexa ranking of about 5000 did about $1.5 mil yearly, although in a very different industry. If your site is not doing well financially, get a good marketing person Collin! Again, it's not a criticism, I think Collin deserves every bit of it, as it is a very well-done and run site/business that not only helps its owner, but the public and also contributes to charity as well. A+

  If you want to “plan” ahead sooner then use the iheartcvs site(ads posted weeks in advance) or go directly to cvs.com(next weekly ad posted every Thurs.). I agree with everyone. She is offering a service . But also does have a daily life to deal with plus she just moved. I’m amazed she was able to continue the site during all of that.

  I get what you’re saying Dee and I understand you don’t want drama (THANK YOU! lol) but we do need to remember that collin has a life too and I think it was on the rite aid post she said it was a hectic week/weekend so hey for one week she’s a little late but it’s fine, you save your money either way! 🙂 If they are coming up late on saturday then I just find other things that need done and get’em done, because once the deals get up planning and looking at deals is all that gets done 😉 lol happy shopping 😀

  I understand life happens and we all get busy. All I’m suggesting is that the list gets put up earlier in the week to allow more time for planning. I’m not complaining, I love this site and come here numerous times each day, I was just offering up an idea.

  Here’s a suggestion for the person with the suggestion:

  I think if you have *suggestions*, a polite, private email to Collin would be a respectful way to go about it. A public comment comes across as criticism, or as a demand, which is why you are getting some push-back, even if you didn’t intend it that way. In print, it has a tone of entitlement that just rubs some of us the wrong way, even if that wasn’t the spirit in which you wrote it. You’ll be less likely to be misperceived if you write a NICE personal note, I think.

  Collin…please disregard and let them roll off when people complain. I greatly appreciate the countless hours you and your team spend to make this the best site out there. If people want to complain…they can do start their own site and see if if gets posted THAT early! I can’t believe people have the audacity to say that! RUDE!

  Since when did a suggestion turn into a complaint? I will say it again I LOVE this site I was just making a SUGGESTION that it would be great if they were up earlier in the week! Other blogs that post their lists earlier in the week are not near as good, they list the wrong cpns or expired ones, etc. When I come here I know I am getting the best list by far! You people need to simmer down and stop being so sensitive, no one is criticizing Collin!

  as a blogger who does matchups for a local grocery store chain, I can tell you that it takes a TON of time to do what Collin does! and yes, her CVS deals are amazing!!! that is why I use and refer back to her every week on my own blog! seriously, her cvs list is awesome and better than most, if not the BEST. that being said, it is probably near impossible for her to have this list be so amazing and get it up earlier. she has a blog to run, a family and everything else in her life. seriously, I realize it would be nice to have them up earlier, but due to the depth and quality of these matchups, we should all be grateful that she even gets them up period!!! They are awesome and I wouldn’t want her to skimp on quality by getting them up sooner!!! Really, I am sure her matchups take FOREVER.
  So thanks Collin for all you do! and for letting me use the top deals and link back to you every week!

   On this deal “Colgate Total or Sensitive toothpaste 5.8-6 oz $2.77 = $1 Ecb (limit 2)
   Use the $1/1 coupon found in the Dec. issue of All You mag., 1/1 SS, or 1/15 SS
   Plus, stack with the $1/1 CVS store coupon found in the Winter issue of Reinventing Beauty mag.
   Pay as low as $0
   Get back $1 Ecb
   Final cost Free + $1 money maker!”

   Would you not pay the $0.77 since you only have coupons to cover the $2.00 and its on sale for $2.77. Its still a money maker after the $1 ECB (By $0.23). Or am I missing something?

    The Coupon Machine printed a $3 off any 2 Glade, Oust, Scrubbing Bubbles coupon for me, if its prints for anyone else that would make an even better glade deal

    I got $1.50 off Pledge, Scrubbing Bubbles, Glade, Fantastik, or Windex from the coupon machine last week. Can that be used toward the Glade deal this week?

    The Dawn Hand Renewal WAS included in the sale (went early tonight). So I was able to use the $0.50/1 coupon to make it only $0.49.

    Does anyone know how the limit on the 12pk Coke products work? I know it says limit 4 but is that 4 per trip or 4 per the length of the sale?

  I think it would be per sale length..just because CVS keeps track through the card. BUT to confuse this more, I did this deal last week (Bummer 3/$10) and it DID NOT show limit reached on my receipt.

  Its 4 per sale length. As in only 4 will count toward your $10 gc after you spend $30 but you could still buy more for the sale price (in another transaction). hth!

  Its 4 Per Transaction. I bought 8 cases this morning, 4 in each transaction and $20 is counted on my receipt towards the Cash Card deal. The cashier had to ask the manager if it was ok I did 2 transactions and he approved, saying the limit is for their discression to keep enough stock on the shelves for other customers. I had 4 regular coke & 4 diet coke, and didn’t make a dent in the display set up at the front of the store.

    I scored some great deals at CVS on Friday evening 🙂
    I shop for my 86 yr old mom, so I have her card with me and get her deals as well as mine.
    When I got home, I checked my last receipt and I was expecting it to have a $3.50 ecb (for the vitamin D and a $.75 ecb for the m&m’s…but it didn’t 🙁 I had already done that deal with my card and meant to use my mom’s card, but mistakenly used mine again 🙁

    Anyway….tonight I went back to CVS and explained what happened and that I wanted to return the two items and then purchase them using my mom’s card. The cashier went to do the return, but the register wouldn’t allow her to give me money back. She called the assistant manager and he said that they couldn’t give me money back because I used ecb’s to purchase the items and had only paid $.14. I said that I didn’t care to have money back because I was going to re-purchase them on my mom’s cvs card and could they just put it on a gift card. He still insisted that they couldn’t do that….blah blah blah.

    Well I knew better (and also knew that he and the cashier were relatively new) but I didn’t want to continue insisting, so I said that I would return on Sunday when the manager was there. Hopefully she will know what to do 🙂

    Makes me a little irritated that I have to go back to do this, but it was my own stupidness (that should be a word lol) that led to me being irritated, so I’ll just suck it up 🙂

    I did call another cvs on the way home and explained the situation to the cashier and she said that I was right (at least with her and in her store) that they would give me the $.14 and put the rest on a gift card.

    Can anyone advise me what to say to the manager when I go back Sunday in order for it to turn out the way I want it to?

    Thanks for any comments and sorry this is sooooo long of a post.

  I sort of understand CVS on this…you use ECB, which means they belonged to the card used, as they are not transferable to another card….I also shop for my older parents and just use my card to do it all…we have all made mistakes or have over looked something…By the way only paying .14 cents OOP…that was great use of your coupons and ECB….awesome! Good luck however it turns out…keep cool at register. Good luck.

    Had a bad experience at CVS today. I couldn’t find the Rembrandt at my stores in Atlanta this week so stopped at a store out of my area. Found 1 toothpaste and 1 mouthwash. I had the 2 Rembrandt, 2 suave deodorants, 2 reach toothbrush, 4 axe body wash, 2 pk bic razors. Total $45 Gave the cashier the reach coupon it beeped, then the axe coupon and it beeped so he called the manager.

    The manager came, cancelled the transaction and tried on another register. The .50 suave worked, the bogo axe coupon beeped again. The manager said she could’nt use the axe coupon because it beeped. I read the coupon, looked at the body washes, showed her I had the correct items, she still refused to use the coupon and refused to try the second coupon. The bic coupon worked then gave her the 2-$2.00 Rembrandt coupons. She used one coupon and handed me the second one back……SAID HER STORE ONLY ACCEPTS PRINTED COUPONS IN COLOR INK.

    I showed her the coupons had different bar code numbers, she refused to scan the coupon. she would hold my items and go print it in color, then she would accept the coupon. I was floored, I asked for the customer service #, she told me to get it off my extracare card.

    Can’t wait until monday morning.

  Thanks, never that upset leaving a store trying to use a coupon. It was terrible customer service. I shop at CVS 2-3 times a week and never had a problem. I always print coupons in black ink but my son used the printer and a few printed in color. Color Ink is to expensive. Plus I missed out on the $10 gift card this week. Only needed another $4.

    I think the best way to get good service is to establish a relationship with the cashiers at your CVS store (or any store for that matter). I live in Richmond, VA and the cashier at the CVS Carytown store named Amber is employee extraordinaire.

    Whenever I walk in the door, she says hello to me by name. Yesterday she told me that the Christmas candy was 75% off and pointed to the aisle on which it was located. She told me how to sign up to get discounts on CVS beauty items.

    Needless to say, Amber goes out of her way to make every customer’s experience a good one. So I wrote customer service a glowing letter about her and she got wind of it. She was so appreciative that I took the time to acknowledge what a good job she does.

    So this needs to be your tactic…find that one (or two) employee(s) who provides outstanding customer service and take the time to write a letter about them. It doesn’t have to be long.

    And then see what happens after that 🙂

  I filled out a similar form for my cashier at CVS. It will get to the appropriate parties if you note the store and the name of the cashier(s). Hope this helps you!

  We are always quick to complain, but how often do we call or write to say “Thank You” or “Good Job”?

This is the BEST deal for a Diet Coke Addict like me. The manager said only 8 12pks per day which I had to do in 2 transactions otherwise the last 4 would ring up at regular price. I guess I know what I will be doing all week.

    Today I spent $30 towards the CVS cash promotion. She told me my total was $33 something and then after my coupons and EB’s and tax it was $24.29. I did not receive my $10 CVS cash. Figuring I had done something wrong/ picked up the wrong kind of cracker or something and there was a long line behind me, I didn’t question what went wrong. I was pretty bummed though because I was going to use that money on my next transaction and pay only tax. So I get to the car and look at my reciept which says I need $7.50 to get the CVS cash. Can’t figure out what happened. I purchased 4, 12 pks of coke and 8 boxes of crackers. ANyone have a similar experience and can I do anything about it? Thanks!
