[pilesoflaundry]

hmmm although I'm lucky enough not to have a husband.... ha ha I think i see what your hinting at... and I like how you think. lol. goodtimes thank you!

Just a heads up if you do get a second card you cannot use the extra care bucks from the first card and vice versa.

So put a little sticker or a number or something on the second card so you know what goes with what.

I paper clip my ECB's to my CVS card plus any CVS red scanner coupons I've accumulated. That way I never get DH's card/ECBs/CVS Q's mixed up with mine. Nice and tidy for my less than nice and tidy mind!

I just took out a second card myself because I wanted to do doubles on the suncare.

A couple more tips on second cards -

- use a different phone number when filling out the card as if you forget your card they will pull the first card associated with your phone number.

- As I learned the hard way - Online accounts and tracking of your ECB are tied to your e-mail address so set up an account (i.e., xyzcvs at gmail.com) for getting CVS coupons tied to your second card.

- Legally they can't tie age to the card so you can take it out in your child's (or cat's ) name if you don't want two in your name.

- On my card my name prints on my receipt and coupons so it makes it easier to keep them separate. (I've had my card since they first started handing them out).

I use a small plastic organizer envelope that I got at Target's Dollar spot. I keep my card, ECB's and CRT's in one pocket. DH's in another. My Rite Aid cards in 2 others. Then I have a pocket where I put all the current weeks coupons i might need adn the back pocket I keep rainchecks, calculator and small scissors.

I just went to CVS to do my other card for the diaper deal and the Kotex. There was a woman there waiting to scan something to see the price while my coupons were coming out of the scanner.

She says, "what is that machine doing???"

When I told her it printed coupons she couldn't believe it. I told her to scan her card. She then says she doesn't even have a card!

I was with my mom too, and this is where my mom rolls her eyes and says, "don't you get all the free toothpaste?"

Always a good time at CVS!

Oh, and for my 2 cards, one is in my maiden name, the other married name. Plus, one of them now has googley eyes on it so it is easy to keep them seperate.

I was at Dominicks yesterday (grocery store) and the lady in front of me had shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, kotex, and body wash and she paid $33!!!!! I wanted to tell her to return it all and go to CVS!!

I felt guilty buying the Bayer Meter as a money maker since I'm not a diabetic. But then when I got home, I realized it was expired(1/10) so I was glad someone who needed it didn't buy an expired product!

So Natures Bounty BOGO with the $5 coupons ....
Where do you find a bottle of anything for $4.99?
The cheapest in my Cvs is Vit D for $5.99, and most everything else is $9- 15 !?

 

[3boymthr]

I saw that online there are some Nature's Bounty for $4.99 so it may depend where you live.

 

[momtosam]

There were a few 4.99 items at my store. It must vary by region. I bought Vitamin D. Chromium Pic-something was 4.99 and I think Zinc was, too.

 

[momtosam]

Just be careful with the Nature's Bounty deal. Several of my stores won't accept the coupons and apparently have backing from corporate. I am not sure of the reasoning, but I heard a customer arguing with them yesterday about it and then my cousin (who is a shift supervisor) texted me to not do the deal because it was a huge hot button at her store. Again, I don't know why....but since I don't use the vitamins and I don't want to ruffle any feathers at my CVS stores I am just going to pass. I'll let you all know if I can find out more.

Interesting... I've been going to a new store, so they musn't be up on this one yet. Honestly, I can't believe the Nature's Bounty people haven't changed the way they do these coupons. This offer has come up several times before. You'd think they would send such a high value coupon snail mail.

Sorry to quote myself.

I've been meaning to ask you, Kelly, which store does your cousin work at?

She works at the 183 store. They work closely with 222/Blandon and Shoemakersville. I think they share some management. 5th Street was also giving a hard time with the Nature's Bounty coupons.

B2G1 M&M coupon come from?
Thanks!

 

[ratherbeindisney]

I am new so forgive me...the 10 for $10 deal do you have to buy 10 items to get them at a dollar or could I just buy like 5 or 6 items and get them each for $1.00?

It just makes them $1 each so you don't have to buy 10 to get the deal. I've gotten 3 bottles of Bayer aspirin for free with $1.00 off coupons and I only bought those 3 items in the transaction, I did not buy 10 things.

I love that store! That girl, Aspen, who works there is really sweet.

You know, a while back they stopped taking coupons that generated overages on glucose meters, too. I don't try to buy those there anymore. I guess I'll cross them off of my vitamin list, too!

 

[flakypuff]

Drives me crazy when the stores pick and choose what they want to take. I understand them not want to give a overage but to not take them at all just seems unfair

Yesterday I got 3 hair dyes (Clairol) and 2 Pantenes for $6 something and 3 ECBs back.
-The dye was on sale for $5 each and I had 3 $2 off coupons. Pantene was 2/$7 and I had $1 off. I used 5 ECBs and got 3 back.
