There were $3.00 coupons recently that can be used for these. My store did not give me any overage but adjusted the coupon to give the item to me for free.

Where can I find a copy of CVS' sale/ECB policy? For instance they were telling me the Folger's deal was only on the large containers. I wasn't able to get five small ones (instead of 2 large ones) and still earn ECB's. Is this true? If so how did I miss that?! Then apparently the reward's card they gave me had been previously used so when I was trying to buy things it wasn't printing out the ECB's but was reading at the bottom that my limits had been reached. They didn't have any other cards available apparently. I realize this will resolve next week when the sales change over. Next time I'm going to try a different CVS location but wanted to read their policy first so I'm better prepared/informed.

Love the store. I have a question that I think most of you could answer for me. One of the deals this week is the Schick Quattro refills. I ended up getting it and with the ECB's it's a good deal but could have been better if I could have found the coupon. Another site mentioned that the coupon was available in the SUnday insert. Not in mine unfortuately. Are there sites I can go to (like Redplum?) to re-print stuff not i my paper? Thsanks! I just started CVS’ing last week and I’m hooked! Love the store.

Today i had to kind of argue with a manager to get some money refunded because they charged me incorrectly for something, (the sign in the store had Honey Nut Cheerios advertised for 3 for $9 instead of 3 for $10, though it seemed confusing to the manager as to why)and then told me "well, you're still saving so much anyways, why complain?" Ugh! Anyways, i smiled and was polite and got them to correct their mistake. So, I got: 7 Honey Nut Cheerios @ 3 for $9 = $21 1 CVS Bandaid = $1.99 1 Listerine Smart rinse = $3.99 Used: 1 $4/20 CVS coupon 7 $1/1 Honey Nut Cheerio Coupons 1 $1/1 Listerine Coupon Total Value: $26.98 ECBs Spent: $14.46 ECBs Earned: $15.48 Spent OOP: $0.52 Just started doing this last week, but already saving a ton!!

I did it again this week and did not receive my ECBs, my coupon stated limit reached - so they carried over from last week, booo. -Dove candy bars also work towards the candy deal. (I found this accidently when I noticed $1.50 was put towards my reward earned total) -I bought 1 Brut deod. this month, my receipt now says that I can only buy 1 more to earn reward. Also, it rang up as $3.39. I'm not sure why my limit is off? A few notes from my recent transactions:

You can, however, use a store coupon in conjunction with a manufacturer's coupon. Thanks for asking!

They are on sale for BOGO for the 6x8's. I had an email for $5 off, plus the Kodak coupon from insert for $3 off and then a $1 thing that printed for the card scanner. So I got two for $1!!!

Quick question: Today I went to CVS and I did the cereal deal 6/$20. Gave them a 4/$20 that I got in my email. Then 5 $1/ off cheerio or fiber one coupons. Bringing the total to $11. I had a $10 ECB (so only $1 OOP for 6 boxes of cereal :) ... which wouldn't scan?! The clerk was so nice and kept apologizing. She tried to "push it through" a couple of different ways and it just kept saying I could only use it towards $4 of the purchase? Have you heard of this before? So I paid $11 OOP, but did get my $10 (which I rolled into a diaper wipes/bandaid/qtips deal for 2cents... so I'm not complaining :). I have been CVS'ing since March and have just never had this happen. Any tips? Thanks for all of your hard work! Hi Crystal! Quick question: Today I went to CVS and I did the cereal deal 6/$20.

Just like you can only use your ECB's once since they have your number on them.HTH Julie- it sounds like if you spend 4 more cents, you will get the $5 ECB's on the Nivea. Try to find the cheapest Nivea item you can! Great job on the savings! Nicole- you will only be able to use the $4/$20 once since it’s tied to your EC number.

As I am new to the whole couponing and CVS world, can someone tell me, do stores (CVS, Target, Wal-Mart, Jewel, etc.) accept expired coupons? Also, can I use the $4.00/$20 coupon I received in my email for signing up for the Extra Care card more than once? If i print it multiple times? Thanks!

If I go back and get 1 more Nivea will that count toward the 19.96 and spit out another 5 ECB or do I have to start all over again? How do you tell how many 5 ECB you can earn.
