The Bayer meter deals are a limit of 2 per brand! So an overall total of 4 for free is possible. (yeah for $20 free ECB’s) I did all 4 on one of my cards and still have 2 more to go on my other
Thank you so much for posting this so early! My paper never got delivered, so I would have been without the info. Thanks to this list, I’ve already done all my deals!
I don’t know know if it was just me, but I tried printing the $4/1 Mini Air Wick Q’s on two different computers and it wouldn’t print them and print a different Q instead, like $4/1 on the Ultra size. Just FYI
The Redplum $1 Tylenol Q is for Extra Strength Rapid Release, same as from 6/21 SS. Can this be used for the 8hr Tylenol?
Also the Tylenol Arthritis is a $3 moneymaker:
Buy 3, $3.99 each
Use 3 $2Q from 6/21 SS
Pay $6 OOP, Get $9 ECB
I got a CVS coupon that printed with my receipt last week, $2.50 off $10 Pain Reliever purchase. Use this with above and it’s a $5.59 moneymaker!
FRUSTRATED CVS CUSTOMER TODAY! I went to get all my deals today like the ones mentioned above and my store at least for the first time slapped me with a 5 coupon maximum!! I used the $4 for the razor and 4 ECB’s and they wouldn’t allow me to use the rest. I have been doing these deals for over a year and this was the first this has happened. Wrote corporate to see what the deal is about new policy. Any other troubles with this anyone????
At my CVS they were out of some items and of course they don’t do rainchecks on 3 day specials BUT the asst manager said that they usually get more of the 3 day items in on Tuesday morning (on shelves Tuesday afternoon) because the items are generally still on markdown the rest of the week, just not as good as the first 3 days. Possibly worth a try in your area if you missed out today.
It’s definitely a limit of 3 on the free photo books–I did it today.
It’s so wonderful that finally we’re back into the swing of good CVS deals. So many freebies this week makes the heart happy!
I went to CVS tonight to do the picture book for free after ECB. I was able to make 5 and my “Offer limit reached” did not show up. So more books to make tomorrow. Good luck everyone.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the Purex 3-in-1 laundry detergent is B1G1F this week at CVS. The price at my CVS is $8.99 and I used two – $2 off coupons. Although not free, it is a pretty good deal to get detergent at $2.50 each.
Thanks to the person who suggested going back to CVS on Tuesday. I went to 2 CVS stores (the one near me, and the one by my church) yesterday and neither had the scissors, rulers, OR pens. So, I bought my cheap 2 pocket folders and spiral notebooks. This is the 2nd time in a month that my store has not had the items on special.
I was also frustrated at CVS yesterday. The first store I went to had none of the items I went to get. The second store had only a few. None of them were marked with the sale price as they usually are, so I had to be careful to make sure I had the correct Item. At the cashier, I asked about the pens and she got me some in the back. I am wondering if they were keeping items in the back and making it harder for people like me to get the deals. I may try again today for glue and scissors.
They also only allowed me to use $5 of my ECBs for my purchase. She couldn’t tell me why, just that the register wouldn’t take it. It kept saying over the limit.
Thank you for this info! This is my first time CVSing, and I bought all the free school supplies in two transactions so I wouldn’t pile up too many ECBs. Everything worked great and I will definitely check the CVS deals every week now. I have not been clipping coupons at all but I may try to start. I have not been very successful at printing out a lot of the coupons that you link to though. Some work, but lots don’t. I really appreciate all the links and tips though.
It is frustrating when they don’t have the merchandise in stock, but I always get a raincheck. Someone posted that you can’t get one on a 3 day special, but I have always been able to get a raincheck for anything in the ad even if it’s only a Sun-Mon deal. I usually can’t get to a CVS until Mondays or Tuesdays, so they are almost always out of what I need to get so I do rainchecks quite a bit. I got 6 of them today!! Second week in a row that they didn’t have anything I needed. I can’t really complain though, because I get so much stuff for free from CVS!
Oh my gosh. I was just at my CVS, and found an unadvertised ECB deal. Not sure if it is for everyone, but it definitely was for my store. I got a gallon of 2% milk (it was only the 2%) for 1.99 and then got a $1 ECB back. So my gallon of milk was .99!!! Hope you guys can all find it, too!!
I’ve made 5 transactions this week using 2 different cards (mine and grandmothers) so I could get the photo books.
(7) photo books, (4) blood monitors, (3)choc covered pretzels(filler item), (1) soda (for my kid), (1) gummy bears (filler item), (4) extra pages for one photo book, (2) rulers, (2) notebooks, (2) scissors, (1) fusion razor.
Total out of pocket was 17.00 in total and I still have 35.92 in ECB’s that I haven’t used. I did have $6 in ecb’s to start with and I just kept rolling them so I didn’t have as much out of pocket.
I had some of the $1.00 off 1 Crystal Light product coupons leftover from the last time they were released. My Target stopped carrying the 3-packs for 99 cents by the registers, so I’ve been hanging onto my Crystal Light coupons. At CVS this week, I bought 2 single packs – they are 2 for $1.00 and found in the refrigerators by the bottled water. I thought I’d try my coupon and it worked!! So, I received 2 single packets for Free. Not as good as the 3-pack deal at Target, but since my Target stopped carrying those, CVS is a nice backup for my extra $1.00 Crystal Light Coupons!
I just got a $5 of $30 purchase coupon in my inbox, so I might head back for a second CVS trip! I didn’t get a photo book or stock up on cereal yet.
I did a free trial-sized aloe fresh lotion using the $1.00 coupon here:

Plus B1G1 CVS gummy vitamins saved me $5.49 on this week’s first trip. The nearest CVS never marks these on sale, but they always are. =)
