Yes, like Alicia said, go to the URL and change the date and page number. No problem to access June 1. And also, if you use the “snapshot” tool in Adobe Reader, you can select the coupon and paste it into Microsoft Word without having to print the entire page or have it be too small. I zoomed in first and then did the snapshot.

Hey girls!! I’m so excited, we aren’t too late… I followed some advise above but for the DATE-

Click on any day (NOT the arrow, but the number) and when the page comes up, change the date to 06-01-08 and the page to A9, and it takes you right to it! Yeay!

I went to the June 3rd day, then in the address, changed the date to june 1, and the page number to A9. It immediatly worked and I didn’t have to download anything. Hope this helps.

Oh no, I’m having the same problem as Allison. Is there any way to access this coupon now? Like she said, it will only go back 7 days. Am I too late??

Hey I have a problem it will only let me download the last 7 days I can’t go to the first, anyone had this problem?

Allison, I had the same problem. I clicked on the link that Laurie posted above and it still worked. After signing in, it took me straight to the page I needed too, without having to download the whole day’s paper.

I signed up for the paper today because I have been out of town. It only goes back 7 days so unfortunately I cannot download June 1 newspaper. Is there another way I can access that coupon?

When I tried to print out the coupon the barcode isn’t printed out. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix that?

I couldn’t print either without a really small coupon as a result!! It was not selecting or highlighting just the coupon for me. So, I realized the printer was auto-scaling. After i clicked print, it was on the box that pops up. I deselected “shrink to fit”–THEN went back and rotated the page 2x so the coupon was upside down and at the top left corner!! TADA! Full sized coupon (and if the guy won’t take it I will manually push HIM thru the machine after all this work!!!)

I was able to print it but I haven’t used it yet. Zoom in on the coupon then click on the camera icon on the tool bar. This will let you highlight a section and will paste it to your clip board. Paste that on to a Word document and you’re good to go.

How do you highlight the coupon to print it? I had to print the screen and and paste it in Paint to select just the coupon to print. The last time I did this the CVS cashier did not accept it, saying that it was a photocopied coupon. I’m worried this will happen again. Is there a feature that allows you to select only the coupon to print (like the last $3/15 coupon in the other online newspaper that also had a free trial period)? Thanks for the help!

Finally! I had to download another free file compressor software because winzip had expired.

Quite a lot to go through (tried to get this several times) but the payoff is worth it to me! Thank you!!!

I want to thank you for your wonderful blog. Because of you, I have started figuring out the whole CVS thing. I was able to get 2 Chex mixes, 2 Pampers diapers, 2 Pampers wipes, 2 cans of tuna, and a box of cereal at CVS for only $2.64 because of all the coupons you mentioned and the Extra Care bucks I had saved.

Thanks!!!

Hi everyone,
I also tried to download the June 1st issue and it would not let me. “Internet explorer cannont….” It would let me download any other page just not June 1st.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Thank you, Crytal.

I just printed mine before I read about I can skip clicking on the little arrow page by page. It did took a while for each page to load. But I was doing something else as well so it wasn’t bad.

I will try it tonight to see if it will scan since I print it larger than normal. The regular paper won’t fit the whole page so I have to print in the zoom mode.

I was just wondering about the wording on the coupon, “limit one coupon per customer.” It doesn’t say “one coupon per transaction,” and it makes me wonder if the intention really is that each customer only use the coupon once. I wondered about this with the Washington Post coupon as well. Is it just generally assumed that “one per customer” really means “one per transaction?” I want to be able to use this coupon multiple times with a good conscience, so I hope someone can clear this up for me.

Also, I downloaded and printed this coupon by selecting it from the huge blue page (didn’t want to waste all that blue ink) and pasting it onto a word document, 3 per page. But at the store, it wouldn’t scan. The cashier, who was of the rather unhelpful sort, didn’t offer to key it in and I didn’t know that was possible. Next time if it doesn’t scan, should I just ask them to try keying it in?

Also, why wouldn’t it scan? Do you think I just need to zoom in a bit like the previous poster? Or, if I was low on a certain color of ink do you think that would affect it being able to scan? Also mine looked a bit blurry. Is that the reason?
