Thanks for the always helpful posts!!
But my coupon is $5 off of a $15 St.Ives purchase -- so I'd have to buy at least $15 worth, not the $11.96 you wrote.
Did you get a different ($5/$10) register coupon??? A $5 off $10 coupon would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Ta-da, made it work!
Today was my very first CVS trip. I'm a little embarassed to post b/c I didn't do well at all compared to others who are
paying under $1 for their deals.
I also couldn't find any St. Ive's coupons before I went,the printible I got from this thread said it was on the lotions so I didn't think it would work on the body washes or facial scrubs I bought.
Oh well- here goes:
St. Ive's $11.96
GUM toothbrushes (2 pack) $1.99
Huggies wipes 160 $4.99
Colgate Kid's toothpaste $2.79
4/20.00 CPN
1.00 GUM MFG CPN
Total OOP 17.21 with $6 in ECB's back.
SO it was a little expensive, hopefully I'll get
better next time!

I'm right there with you. Today was my first try and I messed up right off the bat because I forgot to bring my 2.00 ECB with me that I had from awhile ago.
I bought - 2 sunlight dish soaps -.88
2 gum toothbrushes -1.99
2 right guard -3.29
Total -12.32 minus- 1.00 Gum Coupon
-3.29 Right Guard
- 1.00 Right guard coupon
Total 6.27 And now I have 3 ECB to use. Quick question can you use a few ECB coupons at one time?? My next hurtle is sneaking in Paper towels that are not individually wrapped. We store them out in the garage so DH thinks we should buy the ones individually wrapped. Yes I know they are more expensive but DH is strange that way.
Sarah- did you try the Firefox? I understand if you don't want to download a program, but my DBF is a major geek
and he put it our computer. It is supposed to be better/ more secure than IE. He prefers I use Firefox, which I don't because I am more familiar with IE and am a slow adopter, but when I need to print a Q I click right over- no problem. It has saved me at least $50 in the last 2 months. It is safe and you can run it simultaneously with IE. Ok- I won't mention it again.
The St Ives coupon off smartsource say good for one "St Ives Healthy Brilliance". Has anyone seen these products? I was not able to use the coupon on the products they had in store- would not scan. Manager said he never heard of Healthy Brilliance line of St Ives.
If you look in the ad it says that the limit is five. I called the 888# and will be getting credit since I bought $21.93. I should get fixed over the next couple days so buy away and call it in if you need to.
If you look closely at the ad (and this is the point argued) At the bottom of the page it says *limit 1 referring to all deals - but in the box with only 1 product (can't remember which one) it says limit 5 for that particular item - products are separated with a line. Some say 5 others say 1 for the St. Ives but the CVS computer is programmed for 1 so 1 deal is guaranteed while the other 4 it is up to the individual to argue the point with a manager or customer service. I for one don't need anymore lotion or bodywash so I will not argue it but I will pick up the 1 without a hassle.
