CVS ECB Deals - Sales for Week 11/30-12/6

[Kycha]

I had tried to start a weekly Rite Aid thread but it didn't get a lot of traffic. I even posted the one week early like IAHD does (because I was going to be on vacation the next week) and got attacked for posting it early I find the people in this thread much nicer so I just post my Rite Aid finds here instead. If they help someone out, great

I go to afullcup as well, and the Rite Aid board there is helpful, but not nearly as busy as the CVS board. I don't have a Wags nearby so I don't know much about them, but I certainly don't mind reading about those deals here!

I agree. I actually prefer getting the good deals for all 3 stores in this one thread. Personally, I don't shop at RA or Wags too often. But, I can always count on you guys to keep me informed of the not to miss deals.

There hasn't been an official Wags or RA thread on the Dis as of yet. Everyone just posts their good deals for all three in this thread. Of course, you should also check out Hotcouponworld.com and afullcup.com. They each have an entire forum dedicated to each of the 3 drug stores(plus many more stores).

Thanks for the info, as well as those who pm'd too.

I had a bit of aggravation at my cvs this morning. The cashier kept insisting that I couldn't use a $3/$15 coupon with my ecb's. She would read the fine print on the $3/$15 coupon and point out that it says "Cannot be combined with any other CVS/pharmacy coupons". But, she didn't have a problem combining it with the $5/2 Duracell CVS coupon I used or the $1 off 2 Propel CVS coupon I used. She was only concerned with combining it with my ECB's. I told her I had combined that coupon with my ECB's dozens of times and had never had a problem. She insisted that each of those cashiers(and managers and shift supervisors) that had waited on me were all wrong. I wasn't satisfied with that. So, I asked to speak to a manager. Fortunately, she was only standing a few feet away. The cashier called her over and the manager scanned the coupon and walked away. The cashier said that the manager can do that, but that she can't. And then she insisted that she has never taken a x/xx coupon and ecb in the same transaction. Which is BS. She has waited on me before and has definitely done so and never questioned it before.
I would really have liked a clear explanation of why an ECB is considered a coupon, but a CVS coupon is not considered a coupon in this case. But, both the cashier and manager are really quite clueless. I guess I'll be contacting corporate for an explanation. In the meantime, I'll just avoid this cashier.

Anyway, there was one bright spot today. I received a $5 off any $15 purchase CRT. It is only good for 3 days though.

Wow, I have yet to get anything good from my scanners!

BTW, about the $3/15 - I get those all the time but ONLY for CVS brands. Any of you experts have ideas what I can use those towards?

 

[4fosterkids]

no 3/15 for me today. From the scanner machine I got $4 off Futuro brace, $1 off photo processing $1 off 2 softsoap hand pumps and $2 off 2 speed stick, then on my receipt I got $1 off excedrin, $2.50 off tresemme color thrive, $5 off $20 skin effects and $1 off Roitussin.

Did anyone buy the American Express gift cards last week? I wanted to know, do you take them out of the little outer wrapping or leave them intact when giving? I don't want to rip one open to find out there is nothing inside???

Also, I worry about the little code that is on the outside (you know, the one with a GX plus #s.) I remember reading that scammers would go into the stores and write down the pin numbers for the gift cards at the top of the stack and then keep calling the 800 number until they saw it was activated and then order stuff online with the gift card # that they wrote down. I noticed that most gift cards have the pin numbers under scratch off stuff now, but not these Amex Cards. Is it possible to get scammed with these or do those numbers mean nothing??

Thanks,
Maggie

Unless it's changed, you only have to buy a single CVS item, and several brands are included. I haven't gotten one of those in ages, but I used to get a bag of pretzels or the 99-cent candy in bags (orange slices, etc.) unless we needed OTC meds of some sort. It was actually a CVS clerk who told me that you didn't have to spend the entire $15 on CVS stuff.

Wow, how rude! I'm glad we have a nice little CVS community here!

Hmm, never heard that one before. Even if it's true, some of my cashiers and managers definitely would not go for that.

Am I dreaming or did I see next weeks ad posted somewhere?

question about rx refills.

several months ago, I got a thing for $25 plus $5 for 3 refills. I used it on medicine that requires a script every time (adhd). The last two months when I got it filled, I got a $5 ecb. But it's not the same rx number.

it's expensive. does cvs give you ecb for getting an expensive rx filled...or is the computer just smart enough to know it's refills even with different rx numbers

You can tell it has been a slow week for CVSing

Ok, I'm sure you remember the great Lite-Welches Grape Juice deal awhile back (September I think?)

Well check the expiration dates! Three of the six I bought EXPIRIED in March 2008!! The others expire Feb. 2009. (yes, I should have checked before I bought them!)

I knew they tasted a bit 'funny' but thought it was due to the 'Liteness'.

I called the company and they said it won't hurt us (!!!) and are sending coupons.

You guys probably already checked the dates but if not, do it!

But whyyyy did CVS sell out of date product?? And do they do that often? Or maybe it was just my store??

I have had that problem with soda from CVS. I think they just don't sell alot of it because people are lazy and don't get a card and don't think to buy grocery items there. I learned my lesson the hard way and now check the dates on any soda (cans and 2 liters) that I buy there!

hmillerbarilla and I found some way outdated merchandise at CVS, took it off the shelf, brought it to the counter and let them know - then the next time we were there, it was back on the shelf!

ALWAYS check your expiration dates at CVS!!!

Wow, this is a really quiet thread this week! Found this on page 4 again!

Does anyone know, or can guess when all the bigger Christmas decorations at CVS will go on sale?

Some of the smaller things are 25% off but I have my eye on some of the bigger pieces that are $14.99.

They're so cute but I won't pay that much, even with ECBs!
