CVS ECB Deals - Sales for Week 2/3/08-2/9/08

[LadyyRedd]

I posted this over at HCW and thought I'd post here to give everyone a heads up!
*******************************************************

I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, so if it is, my apologies. Just a heads up on the CVS brand Children's Aspirin in the February monthly booklet.

You most likely won't find any boxes that say "Children's Aspirin". They will probably say "Adult Low Dose".

The first store I went to today, I looked for the "Children's Aspirin" and couldn't find them, so I asked the manager. He took me over and looked at me like I had 8 heads when I said I couldn't find it and there was a shelf full of "Adult Low Dose". He looked high and low and that's all he found, so he said it's the right product. He said if it didn't give the ECB, he would give me cash and make it right.

So I bought 2 boxes (1 orange, 1 cherry) and the ECBs came out.

Just make sure the one you pick up is the same quantity (36 ct) and same dosage (81 mg) and is the Chewable kind in either Orange or Cherry.

However....I did see ones that actually said "Children's Aspirin" on them at another store. They had both the "Children's Aspirin" and the "Adult Low Dose". I bought 4 (on another card) and the ECB worked for both.

So if you don't see "Children's Aspirin", get the "Adult Low Dose".

Well crud, then mine probably are as I'm sure they are the same ones you have.

I just found some new ones at The Coupon Clippers that I am going to order. They don't expire until 2/29 so you might want to check yours.

A lot of adults take low dose for their hearts. I didn't think kids were suppose to take it. I like to take it because you can chew it and it works faster!

 

[Colinsmom]

I don't think that aspirin is recommended these days for children. Is it Reyes syndrome or something that it causes? I don't remember.

Anyways, another good deal this week is Theraflu. Buy 2, get $10 ECB. PSA either 5.99 or 6.49. There were Qs earlier this month in an insert for $3/2, making it free after Q and ECB. And if you are lucky, you also got a CRT recently for Theraflu (I got $3/2), making it a moneymaker!

That's probably why the boxes are changing to take off the "Children's" name!

I NEVER get any CRT's printed.....................

So is it safe for adults to use? for headaches?

As long as you aren't allergic and you don't have problems with stomach bleeding/ulcers since it's an NSAID, which aggravate stomach bleeding/ulcers (which is why I can no longer take Ibuprofen.....well, if I was downright desperate, I'd take it, but it would upset my stomach).

Just a heads up for any of you CVS'ers........I see the general mills cereal is coming up on sale for 2/$5

if you also live near a Stop and Shop they have the general mills cereals on sale starting today 4/$6 which is a much better deal. with $1 off 2 coupons you will end up only paying $1 for each box of cereal.

So is it safe for adults to use? for headaches?

A regular aspirin tablet is about 350 mg and a low dose is 82 mg. Too expensive to use for an adult with a headache. Straight aspirin is extremely cheap.

Children should never take aspirin due to Rey (spelling?) Syndrome. BTW I loved J&J baby aspirins when I was a kid. Maybe I have J&J BA poisoning!!!!

I was fortunate to discover the "All You" magazine from this CVS group last summer and now have a subscription. As far as I know the only place it's available otherwise is at Walmart and they run out quickly in some stores. It's $1.97.

My February issue came today so I thought I'd post the coupons in it in case someone wants to plan ahead:

Dove Pro-Age lotion $2.50
Rice Krispies with Strawberries $1
Florida Crystals Sugar 45 cents
Snausages or SnawSomes (dog treats) $1
POM $1
Ready Fiber $3
Silk Soymilk 55 cents
Sine-Off $2
Soy Joy $1 off 3
KY $2
Prince/Pauper and Roxy Hunter (movies) $5
La Choy $1 off 2
Hamburger/Chicken/Tuna Helper 50 cents
SeaPak Naturals $1
SeaPak refrigerated Shrimp $1
Slow Churned ice cream $1
Slow Churned ice cream $2 off 2
Slow Churned ice cream bars $1
Hidden Valley Ranch $1
Asian Sensations 75 cents
Promise spread 40 cents
Promise Activ spread $1
StarKist Gourmet Tuna b2g1

Windex Auto Glass $2
Hamburger Helper Microwave Singles 50 cents
MilkBone Steak Chew b1g1
Banquet Brown-n-Serve Sausage b1g1
Pilsbury cake mix and frosting (buy both) 55 cents

Somehow I got this magazine subscription for free? I have no memory of it, but it has shown up twice (along with some letter that says I don't have to pay). I looked through this months and was pleasantly surprised at all of the coupons!

I have a bunch of ECB's that are about to expire so I need to figure out the best way to use them this week!

 

[lisaross]

Are you only buying one colgate? Are both the $2 and the .75 coupons manufacturers coupons? If so, you won't be able to use both Colgate coupons. Don't worry. There is a toothpaste deal every week so you will get to use all of the coupons sooner or later!

I'm planning on buying 2 colgates each transaction i have 2/$1.00 to go w/each paste - i was going to try and sneak in an extra coupon - i figure it won't work!

heads up if you are looking for the Free after ECB diet gum, it's up by the cash registers, not a lot available..kind of like that 6hr energy drink

and get your Boost smoothie singles this week. They came in a single display box and normally means when they are gone, that's it.

 

[delmar411]

oh yeah and the $/$$ printables expire TOMORROW. Try to run as many deals as possible tomorrow with those.
