Does anyone know if Sierra Mist is a pepsi product?

$5.71 cash OOP

I got back $5 in ECBS to spend on other stuff, so I really only paid (lost) $0.71 total for 5 products. Not sure where you're getting $1.33 for each, unless you don't have many ECBs to use. My boyfriend uses the hair gel and normally pays $3-4 for one, so this was a great deal for me. Hope that clarifies what I meant :)

Thank you for explaining how and why it works for you...

For me with my $1 Qs and using EBs that don't need to be rolled over, it is a good deal but not a money-maker (I have a lot of this product).

I would be better off using my x.xx EB and 71 cents or less on something my family needs at CVS or buying more Sunday newspapers

yes- I always have. It is a cosmetic- at least in my mind.

Yes, it is. I bought 2 in one of my deals and got the ECB.

The register wouldn't take mine on nail polish. I assumed it was bc it was not considered a cosmetic item???? But, then again, I had trouble with that q last week too. Took three and then just decided that was enough and I had a cashier that swore it was because it was bogo and I couldn't use two q's on a bogo (I bought 4 things and it allowed 3 q's...sooooo...apparently her theory was wrong) but anyhoo...I took them to another cvs and it did work just fine. So I might try there with the revlon q and nail polish...

Anyone else not get to use their 2.00 off nail polish?

And btw it is 4.29 at my store not 3.99 so I'ma little jealous!

Good for you for getting free polish though!!!

I tried it for the first time yesterday morning and it wasn't that good...kinda missing it's punch.

I tried it today for the second time today, drank some out of the water before pouring the mix and WOW! What a punch to this stuff. And it tasted 1 million times better!!!!!

But I was going to buy my 2nd batch of this stuff today before the manager was so rude to me today at the pharmacy. I probably would have bought about $25 worth of stuff in there including the zipfizz, but no way!

BTW, it only beeped for me the other day to give my ECB's.

Buy 1 @ 3.99, get 3 ecb. Limit 3.

If you have 3 insert coupons plus your CRT, you'll make $5!

Do you know what week it is? I got the CRT too but my guess is that it will expire before the ECB deal.
