If you have a coupon for $5 off $25, does the total $25 have to be before or after other coupons and ECB? Thanks.

It is $25 BEFORE you hand over your coupons/ECBs.

Most of us pay in this order:
$X/$XX coupon
coupons/CRTS
ECBs
cash (hopefully not much )

Before manufacturer's coupons...that's how you get your OOP to be so low! The key is to get your purchase right at that $25 mark!
Last night I got: Crest, 2 Palmolives, 2 Vaseline lotions, 3 Garnier products, and 2 packs of Mentos Gum (my filler items) all for $1.08! The CVS employee says to me...I guess it's worth it to cut coupons.

Thanks for the heads up. I saw those last week and thought the $1.50 was too much money But if it is a MM, I am all over that!

We had 2 Dell computers that never worked right. I was on the phone with customer service over 4 hours in one phone call just trying to get the sound cards to work (they never did). I will never ever buy another Dell product. Good luck!

Print more diaper coupons!!

Which Garnier coupons were you looking for? I bought extra papers this week. Let me know which ones you needed.

ETA: Nevermind. I just checked the inserts and I didn't get any Garnier coupons this week. Sorry.

Thank you for offering. That was really nice of you!

 

[maggiew]

Was the crest coupon in the inserts or was it a CRT? DH has been asking for teeth whitener and I told him he had to wait for a deal.

Where are you getting the $5/$25 coupon? Was it emailed recently?

The $5/$25 I had was from swiping my card last Monday before I paid for my items. I spent that one and received another one when I paid for my stuff. DHs card only got a $2/$10 on CVS items last week.

Lexxiefern - I have a ton of garnier coupons. PM me and I can send you some if you want. I know how you feel about your paper, for a few weeks there I did not get mine delivered - the driver was skipping me or something. I kept calling the paper and one week they sent me the inserts when I told the lady "I just want my coupons, I barely even look at the paper"

 

[RobinFabulous]

the crest was an insert. also I found a few w &w nail kits and a few perfume sets and a kitty camera had them price check the cam and it was $29.99 so I didn't bother checking the other stuff.... the toothpaste was good though.... I wish I had saved mine last week.

 

[Jack&Ryan'smom]

Be careful if you are doing the Maybelline/Garnier deal. Was there yesterday and bought $10 worth of Garnier and got my $5 EBC's with no problem. I went to finish that deal today. I got the $4 Great Lash mascara and the $6 Colossal mascara...the colossal rang up at $7.49 instead of $6 and I got no ECB's for it. Had to get 2 employees and the amanger involved with the transaction. I think they were annoyed with me...but hey I'm not OOP for more than I have too and I want my bucks!
I had so many 5/25 CRT coupons so this was a good CVS week for me!

Just because I was curious, I went to Walmart at lunch today and figured out what it would have cost if I had purchased all my items there (the transactions I did for the article). I was actually surprised that quite a few items were cheaper at CVS before coupons! I didn't include the Boost in my calculation since that was a clearance buy and could be hit or miss.

Wal Mart
$43.88 product cost
$17.40 coupons
$26.48 net cost

CVS
$48.69 product cost
$18.40 coupons (difference is $1 CRT)
$21.00 ECB earned
$9.29 net cost

Difference of $17.19 between the stores for the exact same products.

Today at lunch I did Target.

Target
$44.24 product cost
$17.40 coupons
$27.34 net cost

So Target is still $18.05 more than CVS. Interesting that the difference between Walmart and Target is only .86. I thought it would be more. Many products were exactly the same price at both stores.

I am of the thinking that walmart and target do not save me money. I always buy things I don't intend to buy, and a lot of times I see the same items on sale somewhere else at a better price,
I very rarely shop at either place anymore. Just Target for the cute little kid clothes

Isn't that the truth! I always joke that I can never get out of there for less than $50...even if I am only running in for a $5 item. I only try to go in there if I have something specific to get now!

I have post-its in my car that say:

Stay out of Sam's Club
Stay out of Target
Stay out of Walmart
