CVS ECB Deals ~ Sales for Week 2/15-2/21

[mumto3girls]

I would say NO - it is linked to her cvs card!

Thanks. I didn't use it because I just didn't feel right about it and then later I was wondering if I was just crazy.

 

[mumto3girls]

That coupon is linked to her card. It would beep and not work with your card.

Thanks!

I have 1 store near me that has a scanner just inside the front door and one back in cosmetics. 80% of the time the front one doesn't work, but the back one does. All other stores near me have just 1.

I know Dr Pepper and Caf free diet coke work. I only bought 12packs

Most of our stores here don't have the kind that give coupons but just scan for price. Do both of them give coupons or just one of them?

I am amazed that Dr. Pepper worked for the deal because I think it's a Pepsi product but glad it worked for you!

Does anyone know if there are exclusions to the Coke deal? Are all diet cokes included, (2 liter ect) and how about the other Coke brands?

I bought Coke Zero and Diet Coke regular and caffeine free and they all worked fine for the 20/10 deal yesterday. I bought twelve packs so I'm not sure if the 2 liter sizes will work or not.

It was a hidden deal in the bonus pack sale that ran 1-4-09 to 2-14-09. Its still working as of tonight.

It's the 7 oz. boxes of crackers that are kind of like Cheez-its, I've only bought the Cheese and the Sour Cream and Onion, so I know both those work. If they ring up at $1.97 (regular price $1.99), you get $1 ECB for each box. The limit is at least 6, it may be 10, but I don't know for sure.

There are 25% bonus boxes (9 oz.) and I don't know if those work, I haven't been brave enough to try them.

I bought 4 boxes of cheese and sour cream/onion crackers today (Wed.) and they're still giving ECB's. There weren't any bonus boxes left, but I bought some of those last month and they also gave ECB's ($1 on each box) I think the limit is ten boxes and I think it's the same deal as last month and it didn't restart this month with a new deal. Hope that makes sense.

LanaJae, I found four Pull Ups on clearance in W. St. Paul today for 90% off which made them like $1.89 for each pack. I was thrilled!!!! I said to the clerk, "I'm getting these for my grandson and I am just so thrilled at the clearance price." She looked at me kind of weird and said, "Won't he mind having princesses on them?" I took a closer look and yep, they were the pink ones with princesses on them.....argh.......but for $1.89 for the large pack, I sure hope he can wear princesses!!!! He's only two so I don't think he'll care but I have a feeling my son might protest. Sigh!!!! Oh well, if he says no princesses, I'll donate them to a women's shelter for that price. Someone there will appreciate princesses!

The multi grain and whole wheat crackers work as well.

Still have these on my receipt:

6-pack box of Soy Joy ($6/$6 ECB)
6-pack of Gold Emblem Sparkling Water ($3.97/$2 ECB)
Glade Sense Spray and Lasting Impressions ($6.99/$2 ECB) ($4 mfg.)
Cottonelle ($12.97/$4 ECB) (reported to be $8.97 in some areas so scan them if you see them)
Cheez-it double pack shrink-wrapped ($6/$3 ECB)
Cotton rounds or squares (big bonus pack) ($3.49/$1 ECB)

There are more items, maybe others can add to the list.

These are the bonus items that are still on my receipt:

Slim Fast 8 pk ($6.99/$2 ECB)
Cottonelle Wipes($4 ECB) I can't remember the sale price on these.

Here in PA you are only taxed on the "after ECB and coupon" amount. I hardly EVER pay sales tax at CVS. Every state is different though.

In January I got $1,194.96 worth of stuff from CVS and I paid 6.49 OOP and .24 in sales tax. Yes I am a nerd and keep a spreadsheet

Same here. I try to keep my oop below $2 and I hardly ever pay sales tax either.

 

[maggiew]

Dr. Pepper is considered a Coke item in some areas and a Pepsi item in others. It depends on who they have a contract with to bottle their product.

I used to keep a spreadsheet too, until about August when it got to be too much work. I kept track of every OOP expense I had at CVS since I started, as well as every single item that I bought. I guess you can see why it turned out to be too much work!!

I still have all of my receipts from CVS though, so maybe I'll feel the urge to go back and finish my spreadsheet. I wonder how many tubes of toothpaste would be on there?!

For 90% off, I would put duct tape over the princesses!

Mahtomedi has the bonus boxes of crackers if you haven't met your limit, plus lots of wheat left (thanks Kycha!). I ate some cheese ones last night, they are really good.

We only have scanners that print coupons at the newer stores, the blue ones just scan.

I thought I had read that somewhere before! Good to know I'm not losing my mind!! LOL

Anybody else tired of having a 3 mile long receipt every time they purchase something?? Mine still have a ton of the old ecb deals on them. I don't have one with me at work, or I would post more that have not been posted yet. So, as long as they are still listed on the receipt, they still give ECB's even tho the time period is over?

 

[4fosterkids]

Yes, they both scan and give out coupons. All my stores have 1 of these, and only my closest store has 2.

You are so welcome! I really like those crackers too. Since I started CVS'ng, I have tried so many new products that I wouldn't normally have bought. But, because they were free or moneymakers, I had to buy them. I really like a lot of the CVS brand products, Gold Emblem crackers, Absolutely Divine chocolate, CVS brand facial cloths, hand soap, and I absolutely love the cotton rounds/squares.

OK, I'm back from our local store.

They still have signs up saying the limit on Colgate is 2 but my receipt says 2 purchased, 1 for next ECB so I'm sure it's 5 here as well.

I bought one face bar yesterday at the store near DD's school since that's all that they had and now I can't find a second one.

I did get the crackers and the 25% extra gave EBC as well. I combined 4 boxes with a CVS lotion (also had $1 ECB) so that I could use the $2/$10CVS Brand coupon.

I scanned my card once and got one sheet of coupon. I scanned DH's a second time and got 2 more coupons. The clerk was looking at me like I was nuts so I was too embarrassed to scan it a third time.

Second time on DH's I got a $2 off Stayfree. I had a Manf Coupon and there's $1 ECB so they paid me to buy them.

Valentine's Day is 50% off but there wasn't a lot left. Nothing that I needed so I skipped (plus it's 75% off at Target).

I already did the Coke deal with both cards so we're set with pop for awhile. (12 12-packs in the garage )

We have some skin care items on clearance for 50% off . I know that I read a deal about them but I couldn't remember. I'm keeping my eye on a night guard that's still in the regular isle with a clearance tag of 25% off. If it goes to 50%, I break down and get it.

Thanks to everyone for the great info and tips.

A BIG THANKS!!! to It's A Happy Day for starting these threads for all of us!!!!!!

The colgate limit here is 5. I got another 3 today and used the coupon. I also got the energy shots, and I have to go back for a script later. The coupons were fine and didn't beep

I just found this article on iheartcvs.com. It says that redplum has discontinued distribution in a number of newspapers. And that they have decided to mail coupons instead. This will not make me a happy camper. I buy at least 5 newspapers a week and I don't see anyway for me to get 5 redplum inserts through the mail. As of 2/8, I was still receiving the redplum inserts in my local paper. And I had signed up on redplum.com a long time ago to start receiving coupons through the mail. But, they never came.

http://iheartcvs.com/2009/02/no-red-plum-coupon-insert-in-your-paper.html

"As of February 1st 2009, RedPlum coupon inserts have been discontinued in many newspapers throughout major US cities. Instead of distributing these coupon inserts in the Sunday paper, Valassis has begun mailing the RedPlum coupon inserts to home addresses.

Valassis has pulled their RedPlum coupon inserts from newspapers in major cities in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Utah, Virginia, Washington, D.C., North Carolina, Maryland, and Texas.

For the average person, this may not seem like a big deal, but for couponers who buy multiple Sunday newspapers to get more than just one set of coupons, this is a major setback.

if you are affected by this change, you may wish to Contact Valassis and ask them to reconsider:
Web: Valassis Consumer Support Page
Phone: 1-800-437-0479 (8:30am - 5:00pm EST)

bringbackthecoupons.com also has a list of companies that regularly offer coupons in the RedPlum insert. Under each company's name, you will find contact information so that you can let them know how Valassis's decision to remove the RedPlum insert from your local newspaper will affect you and what you buy."

It's strange that the 2 you bought didn't show up today so I would only buy 3 more and see what it shows.

I have no idea what happened or why but DH stopped at a different CVS today on his way home and successfully got 3 more Colgate so of course I just had to push it and went to "my" CVS and sure enough was able to get 2 more. So I now have gotten 10 free!

And I remembered that I had used DP's card to get 5 on Sunday also so I checked their receipt and it also disappeared from their receipt so I guess I can use their card again and get 5 more!

DH is just wondering what in the world we need 20 tubes of Colgate for - that is until he went in today, used the coupons and actually saw the amount he earned in ECB's! Now he is one proud puppy!

It looks like the Chicago Tribune will still get the coupons. Yay!

For now......Someone posted that when the contracts with each paper runs out they will not be re-newing them. Not sure if that's true or not but if so I'll be standing in front of the post office's recycle tub asking for coupons.

BTW I decided to pick up some of the Xtra Laundry Soap ($1.99) for the area charity and did the Colgate deal so now they can have a few of my toothpastes. And I still get $8.97 in ECB since the reset!!

DS can now do the Colgate for 3 more so he might as well go pick it up and we'll donate those too. That'll give 9 families laundry soap and toothpaste thanks to CVS and everyone here keeping an eye of the deals.

Question about multiple cards. Those of you who have cards in your kids names are they older(teen and up) or younger?

I have signed dh up for a card, does he have to use the card or can I go in and use it?
