Cvs weekly 8/2-8/8

[momtosam]

My free items were aspirin and hand lotion. I didn't pick them up yet.

 

[mafibisha]

My free item on both cards was the lotion. I won't complain about that one....it is a nice sized tube but still small enough for a desk drawer or purse. My friend got free aspirin.

The vitamin water is working at 2 of my stores. I did it 4 times so far. I will probably do it 2 more times tonight on my way to Musikfest if my friend will let me stop. I am going to see the David Cook concert I him!!!!

Ok, somehow I missed it - what is the vitamin water deal?

Have fun at the concert! I heart David Cook, too!!

 

[PatsMom]

My free item was the lip balm too. I'd also rather have the chocolate!

Heads up, if you haven't done the Benefiber deal this week, I just got a Benefiber Plus Calcium (big bottle) on clearance for 75% off ($2.97), I used a $2 mfg. and a $3 CRT on it (bought other items to cover overage) and I got the $3 extra buck. I read yesterday that people were getting that type for $5.81 and earning the $3, so maybe they are 50% off still at some stores.

I tried the Vitamin Water here in Illinois and it didn't work for me. I needed an extra dollar to use my 4/20 so it wasn't a big deal.

I was able to get 3 Softsoap instead of 1 like the ad said. Sorry if that is repeat info. I believe you can get 5 but I only had 3 coupons.

 

[CajunDixie]

Arghhhhhh!!!! Went to my local store to finish up the deals only to be told they didn't have the stuff I needed and probably didn't even have it Sunday morning. And their truck now comes in on Wednesdays.....the day after the new 3 day sales end. Now we all know you can't get the ECBs on the 3 day deals on Saturdays and they didn't have any in stock Sunday so ahhhhh isn't that an advertising no-no? And neither store is a 24-hour store!

 

[teedisney]

I got "chapblock" and my cashier changed it to 99cents so it was free. She was the nicest! I also got 2 $3/15

 

[glitzybabes]

Oh I see the free is different. My dm went to cvs today and she got a free cvs toothbrush.

Has anyone else had an issue with the free mascara? Last night I bought 5 boxes of Natural Instincts hair color which made the mascara free, but it didn't ring up free or print out a coupon. The manager told me she didn't know why and to call the 800 line- big help. It was right there in the ad and even the cashier was telling her I should get it but she played dumb. So I called the 800 number and they told me they didn't have the ad in their system, call back in two days or so. I wasn't happy... The other problem I had was that those 5 boxes of hair color should have finished my buy 6 get 1 free deal and they didn't do that either, it still said right at the bottom of the receipt that I had only bought 1. I ended up taking the receipt and the ad in again today hoping for better results with a new manager and they zeroed it all out for me but it was annoying, and I wasn't able to use my $4 off coupon for the hair color that way.

Other than that, I had an AWESOME CVS shop this weekend, I brought home about $150 worth of stuff and managed to make a $41 PROFIT on top of it. A lot of that came from the vitamin water glitch.

So I've not messed with this CVS stuff much before, but I have a question if you guys have a second.

I popped in yesterday to buy milk and went ahead and got the Pepsi 4/$12 with the $4 ECB back.

When I checked out, a $4 ECB printed out for the Pepsi along with a $6.50 ECB. No idea where the $6.50 came from, it says Spring Spending but neither DH or I can remember buying anything there in a really, really long time.

Anyway. I have 2 $1.50 off Pampers Diapers.

So can I go back and get the 2 packages of Pampers that are 2/$20, use the coupons and then use the $10.50 in ECB that I have and STILL get the $5 ECB to print off?

Just curious. TIA.

The 6.50 from Spring Spending also includes prescriptions...$1 per script or something like that so maybe that's what yours is from.

Yes that's exactly how the transaction would work, and your $5 ECB will print. Before you buy them though, go to the pharmacy and ask them about their Readyfill program and ask for the coupon book that goes along with it. There's a $4/20 CVS coupon in there that will make your Pampers look like this:

2 Pampers $20
-$4/20
-$3 coupons
-$10.50 ECBs

2.50 OOP with $5 ECB back.

So it's definitely worth asking your pharmacy about the Readyfill coupon booklet!

I have a $3 ECB that expired on the 31st...lost it when I needed it and then found it last night!.....does cvs still take it? is it a "YMMV" thing? Should I call CVS?

I would say that this is definitely a case of YMMV. There are some cashiers at one of the stores that I frequent that will 'push' them thru if the are only a couple of days past. Other cashiers will flat out refuse to accept them. At the store I frequent the most, the mgr there will take them for about 7 to 10 days past expiry (at least for me she has, but I ask nicely. ) I know they'll take them there, so I let them know that they are recently expired.
If they don't take them the first time though, don't let them take them and throw them away. Try again w/ someone else next time. good luck!

Thanks so much!
I get all our prescriptions filled at Kroger (and if they have refills, I transfer to Rite Aid for the gift cards ) I've never filled one at CVS before so I'm still confused as to how I got $6.50 ECB but I won't knock it!

Thanks for the tip about the pharmacy coupon book, I was actually going to wander back that way and see if my local CVS honors the Rite Aid coupons to transfer a prescription over to them from Rite Aid.

Now that I have a better understanding of this I can see how it becomes addicting!
