I'm loving all these weekly freebie school supplies.

I read all the time about people getting emails from CVS with coupons.

Is there an email list that I can be added to?

I have my email listed on my online CVS account where my card is registered.

This weekend, go to the pharmacy and ask for this coupon book: ReadyFill Coupon Savings Booklet $25

There is a coupon in it for $3/12 eye care, would work good with this transaction:

11.97 Visine Multi Symptom Relief or Visine Wipes (or other products - see below)
7.99 Blink Tears or Gel Tears
-3.00/$12 eye care
-9.00 Three Visine mfgs. from 6-14-09 Smart Source (*or $2 coupon in the current All You Magazine on page 41 or $2 coupons for Visine A or AC in the 4-26-09 Red Plum or $2 AC: http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qg2mdzs55333807&bt=vg&o=52618&c=VI&p=8AnszM6D
-4.00 Blink mfg. from 5-31-09 Red Plum (*or $1.50: http://www.yourhealthyeyes.com/)
$3.96 (earn $5 plus $7.99)

*if you have the lesser value coupons, your OOP will be higher, but it will still be a money-making transaction

Wow Lana, that sounds great.It took me a minute to 'get it' but its amazing. Thanks for all your great ideas!! And flakey's, too!!!

Just did this transaction in the test market here, the pharmacist gave me a coupon book and the coupon beeped, it really doesn't start until Sunday - they pushed it through:

$11.97 Three Visine Wipes
7.99 Blink Gel Tears
-3.00/$12 eye care from Ready-Fill Coupon book (get from pharmacist)
-9.00 Three Visine mfgs. from 6-14-09 Smart Source
-4.00 Blink mfg. from 5-31-09 Red Plum
$3.96 (earned $12.99)

The tax thing is in full force here now. I had a zero balance and still had to pay $1.21 in tax for those 4 items.

Let me first ditto all the thanks we owe you and Flaky and everyone else who posts their helpful plans of attack and deals.

At which CVS did you have luck getting the pharmacist to give you the booklet early?

I was so sorry to hear what happened to you at that Walgreens with the coupons. How rude of them! What was the point?

I read all the time about people getting emails from CVS with coupons.

Is there an email list that I can be added to?

I have my email listed on my online CVS account where my card is registered.

It takes a long time for them to start coming in email, sometimes 6 mos. or more, and then they stop and you might get them a few times a year. It takes about 2 mos. of regular shopping for coupons to start coming on receipts (or from the scanner).

Wow Lana, that sounds great.It took me a minute to 'get it' but its amazing. Thanks for all your great ideas!! And flakey's, too!!!

I know it was confusing and I forgot to write 3 Visine on the first post too. Hope you can do this deal!

Hi - Luke at the old Woodbury store gave it to me, but I didn't use it there because someone forgot to turn on the ad yesterday afternoon. They had 2 tubs of the wipes and lots of Blink on the shelf, the new store had several of the wipes and lots of Blink too, but you should go before Saturday. I think people from other areas of the cities are coming over here to do test market shopping.

The Walgreens incident was in Mahtomedi, before I went in, I grabbed all the Listerine coupons I had and some were $2 ones for the purple kind (not part of the deal). I didn't have any intention of using them. I'm not ever going back there lol

Something else happened at the new Woodbury store last night, but I don't know what - the kids and I had just left there (only ones in the store) and my husband was coming home from golf league and said it was surrounded by police and the entrances were blocked by police cars!

I dont mind the posting but if it wasnt for all you posting the deals it wouldnt be so much fun



Ok so I need a little help:

I have the following coupons:
8 Free Cokes
8 Free Mars Candy
8 Buy One Get One Free Mars candy
8 Get 1.00 off when you buy coke and Reeces
8 Get 1.00 off when you buy coke and 1 king size Hershey
8 Get free bottle of 7up when you buy 2 candy bars

So I am trying to figure out how many products I have to buy.
Can I purchase 8 cokes and use all the coke coupons? I am not sure if I can use all these coupons at the same time. If I can this is what I would do
8 Free Cokes
16 Free Mars Candys
8 Free 7up
8 King size candy bars-I will get the 1.00 credit for the coupons to pay for it
8 Reeces cups- I will get the 1.00 credit from the coupons to pay for it

Where'd you get all those great coupons ??????

 

[ClarabelleCowFan]

Wow great coupons! Where did those come from?

 

[flakypuff]

Wow great coupons! Where did those come from?

The coke ones were from My coke rewards.
The free mars was from the website..chocolate give a way.
I am one a coupon train.
I also got some from tearpads...just saving them.
Now, I want to use all of them because I can get almost all of it FREE. I just am worried because I think I use them all because they are different I am just not sure about...coupons vs items you have???? I know I saw you have to be careful about having an item for every coupon or something

This is so funny! I asked this question this morning before going to a meeting. I stopped at CVS and got a $5/25 on my receipt and when I got home to check my email I had a $5/30. DH said "ask and you shall receive". Thanks for the info.

I went in and asked and they gave me one tonight :-0 I don't have any of the mfc coupons though... I'm going to look and see what I can dig up

 

[Newfie2000]

I'm trying to get some ideas for Sunday and just can not figure out how the Blinks comes in? Is it a monthly thing or am I missing it somewhere? Could be that I am just blind...

8 Reeces cups- I will get the 1.00 credit from the coupons to pay for it

Look at the UPC of the coupons, if the middle part (the long number) ends in a "01" that means that the coupon only attached to one item. If that's how they are, you can use one coupon for each item. I doubt the BOGO will attach to only one item so that's why I listed 24 Mars.

I think your shopping list would be:

8 Cokes
8 7-Ups
8 King Hersheys
8 Reeses
24 Mars

If you go negative, just keep adding items from the candy deal until you get back close to zero. Then look at your receipt to see how much you need to get to the next $15 on the candy deal and use any extra bucks you earn to buy more as you should be close to the next $5 extra buck after that transaction.

That's pretty cool! You hit the magic point

Blink tears or gel tears is $7.99 with a $7.99 extra buck, limit 1. LOL - good pun about eye products!

You make it so easy I wish you were closer to meI would love to shop with you I went last night...I did all the above Then the Kashi deal using 3 1.50 coupons. I got 4 packs of the Bic Pens used 4 coupons 2.00 off... And I had 2 coupons for FREE large M&M's, Oooo and 10 Mentos using 1.00 coupons... at the end I owed 56 cents I got back 15.00 for the candy deal and 5.00 for the Kashi deal..We are having my DS birthday party at the Drive In on Saturday I have all the drinks and snacks

 

[Jennifer in MI]

flakypuff - I am SERIOUSLY impressed with your trip! How exciting to have all the snacks for FREE!!! I tried doing that for our upcoming family reunion with pop. I don't drink it and don't want leftovers. But, if I have leftovers that were free, somehow it's easier to handle! Anyway, I fell a little short, so I'll end up buying a few more.

I'm also currently saving some of the free snacks for our next trip down to Disney. The Kashi cereal bars this week were a nice addition!

We would have a blast shopping together!

You did so good, I think that's the best CVS coupon trip ever. I wonder what it says on your receipt for "you saved" - bet it was over $100!

Hope your son has a great birthday party! They can load up on candy and run around like sugar-crazed maniacs under the big screen lol

EDIT: I just went chocolate-crazy at a CVS. Also got 4 Fuze with BOGO coupons and just realized I have to go back before they close and use the BOGO Nestea coupons before the July deal ends tonight lol

 

[RobinFabulous]

I can't get the Visine to print :-( I'm going to try on the other computers. I do have 2 $2 off Tylenol extra strength, so if I can get one of the visines's to print I may can finish that deal, & do the blink, and use the coupon from the pharmacy book.
