   Is it sad that this is one of the highlights of my Saturday. I guess not since the other highlight is spending time with my family. Thanks, Collin, for taking time from your family to help all of us!

   Does anyone know if all CVS’s start next week sales on Saturday night? I just moved to the Houston, TX area.

  Not sad at all:) Saves money, keeps me out of trouble, and helps me get the shopping bug taken care of every week while helping others out! But if it IS sad, I am content:) Thanks, Collin!

  Per my CVS in FL if the store is not open 24 hours the sunday sales will start some time on saturday it depends on when they enter all the sales in their system. Usually CVS employees are super nice and helpful I would just give them a call and ask.

  My store starts Sunday sales at 7 pm on Saturday. The manager told me it is because they close at 10 and don’t want to stay late or come in early to set the register for the new sales so they do it early. My local Walgreens do the same. I live in Tampa Bay, Florida

   Is Pantene part of the September ECB deal? Spend $15, Get $5 ECB? If so that could be a sweet combo with the Gas Card deal???

  ECB deals don’t overlap, so the Pantene would only go towards the Gas Deal.. unless its a different size for the monthly.

   In regard to the Gillette/Venus deal, the limit for ECBs is 1 for each item. My BOGO coupons from the 8/5 RP specify “Buy 1 Venus get 1 Venus Free”, and “Buy 1 Gillette get 1 Gillette Free”, is there a different coupon? I don’t think you can mix and match if you only buy 1 of each.

  sorry read it again. coupon does state gillette disposable razor get gillette disposable free. if venus is gillette it should work for mm if you have a friendly cashier if it beeps.

  Guest0529 August 25, 2012 at 5:00 pm MST

  I rechecked my coupons and one is for any Gilette disposable, while the other is for a Venus disposable. Both are Gilette. The first does NOT specify any specific kind of Gilette disposable razor.

  Collin (Mrs. Hip) August 25, 2012 at 8:02 pm MST

  Yes, you should be able to use the Gillette coupon since Venus is a Gillette product 🙂

  I tried this deal today and it didn’t work.
  I tried to explained to the cashier that venus is also from gillette but he said it has to be from the products pictured. the Q beeped also.

  jackie August 27, 2012 at 8:53 am MST

  Strange, my coupon didn’t beep at all, except to alert the cashier to enter the amount to be taken off for “free”. I wonder if your problem was with the specific type of razor you chose?

  Kris August 28, 2012 at 3:51 am MST

  i originally got the Gillette custom plus 3 (4 ct) and simply Venus 4 ct. Just like the pic in Collin’s post. Cashier told me the Venus was not the ones in the Q so I simply asked him to scan it then it beeped. Instead I got two Gillette and the Q at first took off 12.99 but he adjusted it down to 8.49. Sigh I shouldn’t have tried to go to a different cvs but the one next to my house is the most expensive and certain female cashiers are reading the Q fineprints like a textbook.

  $12.99??? It should have only taken off $8.39…..It worked for me this morning too, but I told the cashier she should only take the value of the lowest price, which for me was $7.99.

  The BOGO coupon worked fine.The register kept beeping and telling the cashier to take $12.99 off . My cashier called manager over and she manually adjusted to take $8.39 off. :p I still got good deal though.

  I also got the $12.99 off. And the evalia BOGO took $6.89 off rather than the cost of $5.99.

  Same here. At my CVS they just put in the full value of the coupon. I mentioned too that the razor was $8.49 (at my store) but she gave me the full value of $12.99. She had to have a manager approve it which he did without a question.

  I was able to do the deal with the one guy/one girl using the gillette coupon. I warned him ahead of time that it might beep, but that I did have 2 gillette disposable razor products. I usually get the same guy every week and he knows what he’s doing! Handles all the crazy couponers :p He manually adjusted the coupon to the 8.49 or whatever and so I got one free. I also had my leftover rewards from last week, so I only paid tax on this deal! Plus got the $10 back in rewards. Love it!

   in the Deal Scenario #2: of the shavers i think you cannot mix those shavers with 0ne coupon. in rp are 2 coupons 1 for the venus buy one get one free , and a different for the gillette custom plus.

  Dee August 29, 2012 at 8:41 pm MST

  There should be a coupon that is for any gillette disposable razors. A B1G1. Since it doesn’t specify only male razors, most managers will take it.

  The Zzzquil is actually a MM if you have the $3/1 Vocal point q or $2/1 PG 7/29 plus the $2/1 CVS q that printed out on some receipts a few weeks ago. That CVS q expires 8/26. Making it either a $2 MM or a $1.01 MM.

   Another gas card scenario for those who doesn’t have very many coupons would be:
   BUY:
   1 Olay regenerist $22.99
   FREE: Olay Facial Cloth or Facial Product (see coupons to use below, i haven’t seen the exact value of the coupon, just basing it from sunday coupon previews.)
   1 Tresseme Hair Styling product and 1 Tresseme Shampoo or Conditioner $6.97

   total: $29.96 (will still trigger the gas card reward!)

   Coupons to use:
   $4 off $20 (randomly sent in the email if you subscribed to the extracare email newsletter)

  Last time I tried to use the “Free Biore Cleanser WYB pore strip” coupon, I wasn’t able the use the “pore strips” coupon with it. Apparently the “free cleanser” coupon attached to both items. Just wanted to mention YMMV. Love the senario tho. 🙂

    OK. I’ve looked at the CVS coupon policy, but still didn’t get my question answered. Maybe it’s just a general couponing question. Does anyone know, if I have a BOGO coupon & a $ off coupon, can I use them together?

  Stacey August 25, 2012 at 7:44 pm MST

  I just checked the policy online, and under BOGO coupons, it specifically sayes they will accept BOGO and cents off coupons together. It also gives a scenario as an example. Just check the wording of your coupons and bring a print-out of their coupon policy with you, and you should be fine 🙂

  CVS’s coupon policy DOES allow you to use a BOGO and a $, HOWEVER, P&G restricts this. Read the fine print.

  Biore is not a P&G coupon but it does say it cannot be combined with other offer.. I wonder if that means it cannot be used with other coupons.what are your thoughts on this Collin? 🙂 CVS policy wise, this is okay.. But im not sure with the manufacturer. TIA!

  jackie August 25, 2012 at 10:47 pm MST

  I wouldn’t do it even though its ymmv. I’ve had a similar situation happen to me at publix where I used a bogo coupon and a cents off one q. They did not allow it . They say regardless of manufacture and even though I’m using one coupon per item. Thier reasoning is that when they send it to get reimbursed that the bogo manufacturer coupon is applied to BOTH items instead of one and as a result they lose out on the other product. Again, cvs hasn’t really restricted this but knowing this information makes me not want tobtake advantage of deals like these. Especially to stores I love to shop at like publix and chat. I don’t want them to lose money.

  roxy August 26, 2012 at 1:09 am MST

  Jackie, CVS made it very clear in their policy that they take a money off coupon together with a BOGO, as long as the money off coupon is not applied to the FREE item. I believe this was a change they made not too long ago, so there is no confusion about it.

  Publix does not take a money off coupon with a BOGO and I don’t know any other stores who do it.

  You can call CVS customer service for your peace of mind 😉

  rbkr August 26, 2012 at 4:01 am MST

  Thanks everyone for your help! I’m still a little confused by their policy because it only mentions BOGO “promotions”. I took this to mean a store BOGO sale, and that they allow coupons to be combined with their sales. Don’t really see anything about using a BOGO and $ off, together, on a regular priced item. BUT that’s ok, cause after watching Collin’s video, I’ve decided not to push it 🙂

    Wouldn’t it be better just to use the $3 coupon on the razor deal? Online price = $7.49, – $3 coupon = $4.49, get $5 ECBs? Or do you have to buy two to get the deal?

    Reply1
• 

  rbkr August 25, 2012 at 7:25 pm MST

  I don’t think you have to buy 2 to get the deal, but if I could use both coupons (and if my math is right 😉 couldn’t I get 2 for free plus a $0.51 moneymaker?

  rbkr August 25, 2012 at 7:29 pm MST

  I don’t think I said that correctly. What I’m thinking is that I should get the deal you described, but would get 2 products, not just 1. With the ECB’s it comes out a moneymaker.

    I have a tip for those who receives the $4 off $20 coupon in their email. Usually, CVS sends this coupon out on Wednesday or Thursday. As soon as you open it and click on the link that opens the coupon itself, It’ll expire in 4 days even if you don’t print it yet. If you want to be able to use it for the next week’s deal, DO NOT CLICK ON THE COUPON LINK the day you get it. example: I got the email wednesday, but I opened and printed it Saturday (8/25), The expiration printed out to be 8/29 instead of 8/26.

  I do this all the time, unless of course there is something I want to use it in conjunction with that same week. I prefer the $ off over the % off coupons any day…can be used with sale items =)

  Hey cara, i think it’s the same as the % off coupons. Any email that says it’ll expire on a certain date only means, that that email should be opened, and printed out on or before the expiration date. From the day it is opened, you have 4 days to redeem it. hth! 🙂

    Not sure if anyone mentioned it but I noticed in two of my cvs there is a $2.00 off coupon on the organix blue bottles which is the moroccan argan oil kind. I really love this lotion and well worth the $2.00 sale price! 😀

  Yes they do. Sometimes not only by region but town. I sometimes get 2 different papers on Sundays that have the best coupons/inserts and redplum/smartsource will have different coupons in each paper. Most are the same but some differ.

    I went to cvs this morning and some of the things were already gone but oh well. Here is what I was able to score:

    (4) Gevalia coffee 5.99 each
    Used my $4/20 total purchase emailed cvs coupon
    (2) bogo gevalia coupons (they deducted the $6.98 automatically)
    Paid $1.50 per bag….

    i tried to tell the cashier/manager that the coupon should only take off $5.99 sale price but she said that if it comes off automatically (like this one does) that is what they get reimbursed AND she can’t alter that.

    my sis used her coupon at kroger a week ago and it did the same thing- automatically took off the up to value amount so maybe the mfg has it coded that way.

    My CVS let me use the BOGO coupon on the Gillette/Venus deal Collin mentioned. I brought the coupon and razors up and asked before I tried anything and try said yes. So I spent $.51 after ECB’s and coupons on 2 bags of Gevalia coffee, one pack of Stayfree pads, 2 packages razors, and one unreal bar!!

    Just a tip that I came across by accident. A friendly CVS cashier told me that at that particular CVS they take expired CVS coupons.

    It can’t hurt to ask the store manager if your store honors expired CVS coupons. I go daily to get coupons from the machine and stock up for when they are hot.

    Anyone else’s store honor expired CVS coupons??

    I got IT ALL FOR FREE!! 🙂 I had a great day at CVS today getting everything for free after $10 gas card and $10 Pfizer rebate. There’s so many ways you can make this work for what you need. I’m even more excited because these are all items that I needed and was getting low on:

    Transaction #1
    (1) Dimetapp Cold & Cough $4.99, (1) Dimetapp Cold & Allergy $4.99, (1) Advil Children’s Pain Reliever 4oz. $4.49 == Total $14.47 Minus (2) $2.00 coupons for Dimetapp & $1.00 Advil coupon & $1.50 CVS red machine coupon for $1.50 off any children’s allergy medicine== $7.97 OOP and get $4ECB from deal

    Transaction #2
    (4) Pantene shampoo and conditioners $13.33, (6) Dawn dish soap $5.94, (1) Charmin Basic tp $5.99, (1) Stayfree maxi $2.00, (1) Carefree 60ct liners $2.49, (1) CVS brand Coco Butter body lotion $2.19, (2) Ivory 10pk bar soap at b1g1 50% off $8.23 ===== Total $40.17 minus, (2) $3/2 pantene, (4) $0.50 Dawn coupon, (2) $0.75 Dawn coupon, $0.25 Charmin coupon, $2.00 stayfree, $0.50 carefree, (2) $0.30 Ivory coupons, (1) $3.00 off any CVS brand lotion from red machine, $4.00 ECB from 1st transaction, $4 off of $20 CVS emailed coupon, and $10 gift card from Geico deal earlier this week in which i only paid $5 for the $10 card === Total OOP $6.32

    SO TOTAL OOP TODAY AT CVS WAS $14.29. IF I ADD BACK IN THE $5 I SPENT EARLIER THIS WEEK FOR THE GIFT CARD, I REALLY SPENT $19.29 FOR EVERYTHING OUT OF POCKET.

    I got back a $10 Exxon Gas Card with my 2nd transaction, and because I bought the 3 participating Pfizer products in transaction #1 I can submit my RP 8/26 rebate for for a $10 rebate!!! Making me end of getting every in both transations totally FREE with $0.71 overage!!!

    Help please! I just went to cvs to do the deal with the 2 pantene, 2 tide, and 2 bounty towels. I didn’t get gas card. Went home and checked my receipt. They never subtotaled before taking off my coupons so it didn’t come to $30. It was 23.79. Weren’t they supposed to subtotal first? Wondering if I should take my receipt back tomorrow and ask for manager?

  I think you needed 2 dawn to reach the $30. If you go back and buy them, it will trigger the ECB since it’s linked to your card.

  Renee August 26, 2012 at 7:47 pm MST

  Your before coupon price of $30.62 should of got you the $10 gas card. You met the required $30 mark (which IS before coupons). Maybe check your account tomorrow and if it’s still not showing then speak to someone at the store. You definetly spent enough. No need to buy any more items.

  my receipts never show a subtotal either. What you need to do is look at the bottom of your receipt to see how much totaled towards the gas card deal, and how much is needed. Maybe something you bought didn’t credit.

  Steph August 27, 2012 at 6:58 am MST

  Make sure you purchased items that were part of the gas deal. A few weeks ago I picked up the wrong kleenex tissues because the store put them in the spot marked for the gas deal but the were not part of the deal. They were a different size box. I had other items and knew I would be close on getting the card so when I got home I checked my receipt and they didn’t count towards the total at the bottom. I went back the next day, pointed it out to the employee and returned/repurchased the right tissues and got the card.

    Heinz Ketchup singles & select other grocery items 10/$10
    Use the $0.50/1 coupon found in the 8/19 SS (value may vary by region)
    Final cost $0.50 each!

    This can also be purchased at Weis & they are always $1 each. If you get from Weis it will also be FREE since they double anything under $1. You will have to purchase in 4’s because they only double 4 like coupons in 1 transaction.

  just the amount of the original product and the half off product total towards the 30 total for the gas card. i bought covergirl mascara for 10.49 and the second one was 5.24. So all together it rang up as 15.73 towards 30 total. Used 5 dollar coupon off 2 mascaras 🙂

    Secondly, on the Pfizer rebate…it didn’t come in my paper. Is there anyway to access the rebate form online? Thanks!

  I asked the same question last week because I wondered if anyone tried to submit it like that. Only got one response and they said probably not to try it because it could be looked upon as fraud. What I ended up doing was going to Meijer(don’t know if any are near you)and they have a promotion very similiar the only exception is you need to buy everything in one transaction and when you pay you get a catalina rebate receipt where you send it in for your rebate. Everything was on sale and I had coupons for everything I bought and I submitted for a different rebate that way. Hope I didn’t confuse you to much.
