cvs- chit chat thread for week of october 11

[seedlady]

ok, here is the thread for the week of the 11th- have fun.

[savedsol]

I wonder on the B1G1 on the Mars Fun size if that would count toward the $5 ECB for Halloween? Thanks for posting the ad, reps to you!

The same bags pictured on page 1 as b1g1 are pictured in the basket on the ECB deal page--so they should. But only the one paid for would count towards the $20 total spent.

This probably won't be a stellar deal, but I was thinking about buying the Schiff Mega Red fish oil (supposedly doesn't have aftertaste, hoping my brain and wrinkles will benefit..)any way--regret not doing at wags with the rebate.... Here is the deal:

bogo use 2qs: Schiff MegaRed, Any - 07-19-09 SS $3.00

I don't know how much it costs, though....

Question and price check - CVS kitchen trash bags are going to be B1G1 50% off. Are they any good, and if so, what are the prices? TIA.

I can't remember the price, you may be able to get an idea at CVS.com, but I have gotten them and think they are comparable to Glad--my hubby hasn't had any complaints yet. And all CVS products are guaranteed--check the box it should say. If you don't like them you could take them back--even without a receipt, as I understand it, because they were obviously purchased at CVS.

I was looking at this yesterday. I have used CVS trash bags before and they are good, never had any problems. Price at my CVS (NW PA) was 20 ct - 4.99, 45 ct - 7.99.

I ended up getting mine at Aldi's 56 ct - 6.29. But I saw a Walmart ad that came in the mail yesterday and it said they had Hefty odor block 45 ct for $5.xx. I prob could have used a coupon and gotten them cheaper than I paid at Aldi's. Oh I use the drawstring kitchen bags, so that's what the prices are for.

Anyway - HTH

[vbc99]

I use the CVS trash bags. I stocked up on them this summer when they were on sale online and I bought enough of them to qualify for free shipping and $15 off $60. When they were on sale online, the 13 gal 45 ct drawstrings were 4.49 and the 13 gal 30 ct flaps were 2.99.

[angeleyeza]

Quilted Northern seems like a good deal. There will be a $1.00/1 MQ in Sunday's Redplum.

$6.99
-$1.00 mq
-$1.00 ECB
____________
$4.99/24 (because its 12 double rolls) comes out to $.21 a roll

There is also a printable listed, but its for the Soft and Strong and the pic in the flier is the Ultra Plush, so we'll just have to see if that one is on sale as well.


there is a $2/2 Q from the sept All you?

[RockyGap]

I only get $4.00/$20.00 e-mails when CVS has lousy ads - I got my $4.00/$20.00 e-mail today.

It appears that all candy counts towards the deal - not just what's listed. For this week (10/4) anyway, I bought Hershey singles, Mars singles, and GE brand candy, and they all counted. Also, it does not say limit reached at $20, so it is more than one. I'm thinking it might be a monthly deal, I'll see if it is still on my receipt tomorrow.

[savewildlife]

Okay, T don't know about that Halloween candy offer. I was just at my local CVS, which I really don't shop at very often, but thought I would when I saw that Tide deal last week, which I loved. However, I had over $25 in candy and my ECB didn't print, I went back in the store and questioned wh I didn't get it, the clerk told me I needed to spend .56 cents more according to my receipt, I said no I already spent $30. After going through another clerk, they finally called a manager, I gave him my recipt and siad I alread spent $30 all the candy came off the Halloween isle and no where does this state it has to be certain candy items, he gave me the $5 and I left. What is weird is the receipt showed $19.44 towards candy and right below it it showed $7.50 towards the candy purchase.

I think I am sticking to wlagreen at least their ads are straight forward.

[twinmommyboyz]

All of the candy does count, well it did this past week. I was able to get exactly $20 worth.

[isis]

This is what I did today:

.99 - Halloween Bag
1.99 - Carving tool
.88/2 - Brachs
2.00 - Newspaper
5.86
-5.00 in ECBs
1.15 total paid (.86 + .26tx)

My Gillette plan for later in the week:
9.99 razor
4.69 shampoo
4.29 fusion shave gel
18.97
-$3/15 q
-5.00 ecb
-4.69 (free shampoo q, from a MIR a while back, x 10/31)
-4.00 razor
-1.00 shave gel
-1.00 CVS/gillette shave gel q from flu booklet
= .28 + tax (if I calculated correctly, $1.67)

Has anyone been able to find the Kashi Go Lean cereal? I had to get a rain check today!


ETA: I finally found the cereal today! ;)

Yes, I found it at the CVS in Ross....but that was on Monday! So I am sure they are all out. I may be stopping in today, if I see any, I will post!

[Jennlk84]

Kashi cereal is 2/$6 this week. I have the $3 off coupons from vocalpoint. If I purchase two of the cereals in one transaction, can I use two coupons?

TIA!

[Jennlk84]

The Quilted Northern toilet paper that is on sale this week has a limit of 3 per household with card.

My question is, if I purchase 2 of them in one transaction (need to because I have a $2 off of 2 coupon) will I get a $1 extra care buck for each?

[Mama Stu]

If the $3 off coupon is off ONE box of cereal , then yes you can use two coupons. If the coupon is off TWO boxes of cereal then you can only use one coupon. HTH

Yes, If you buy two of them, you will get a $2 ECB.

Is the Flu Shot $5/$25 gone? I have had a nutty week and I can't find it. Any help is appreciated!!

[Benz1968]

Wow! I guess the economy has affected our CVS deals. :sad: I remember the old days where there were soooo many deals. :hectic1: Their were tons of threads. I was surprised how few threads there are now. :shrug7: Hope things change real soon for the better. CVSing has helped out family alot.

I would agree witht that statement. I was surprised too to see so few new threads with great deal alerts under the forum. Well, we will see what happens in the next few week...

[Jennlk84]

I am heading to CVS tonight but I have two questions..

1. The Quilted Northern toilet paper that is on sale this week says limit 3 per household card. Can I purchase two in one transaction and still earn an extra buck for each?

2. I have 3.00$ off coupons for the kashi cereal that is on sale this week. Can I use two of the same coupon if I buy two cereals in one transaction?

Thank you!

[pwetypweas]

Answers:

1) Yes you can buy two - limits are set a maximum (i.e. if someone bought 4 they wouldn't get extra bucks on the 4th item)

2) As long as your coupons are for one item each and you buy two you may use two coupons even if they are the same :)
i.e.

I buy 2 boxes of Kashi Cereal, I have 2 $3/1 coupons - I MAY use both coupons in one transaction since each coupon is on only one item.

If I had had a Kashi cereal coupon that was $3.00 off TWO cereals and I bought two cereals I could only use ONE coupon.

Make sense? :) Good luck!

[Jennlk84]

Thank you so much!

Maybe CVS is reserving the GREATer deals for Black Friday :biggrin:

You can use two of the Q's that are $3/1 unless it says 'Only 1 coupon per transaction/household' or something like that. If it says 1 per purchase...this means 1 per item so you could get 2 boxes and use 2 coupons. Make since?

HTH!

If you go directly to the website it is no longer there but you can still get it HERE (http://minuteclinic.com/flu/SmartSavingsFluMC.swf)

It will probably be gone soon though!

I don't know if this was for everyone but when I went to that link with IE I got a blank screen but when I went to it through Fire Fox I got the QUIZ and I'm printing several coupons right now. hth someone! :wink7:

[notsyourbeezwax]

Worked for me this morning with IE. Thanks and repped!

[nicellis0325]

What do you mean you could print several coupons? If you print more than one, the others will beep at the register, saying "this coupon was already used," if you take the quiz again, it will have the same number as well, right? If not, please do share! :)
