CVS ~ Weekly Ad: CVS AD 12/21-12/27 **17 Freebies** Photos added post 1

[vjanened]

Okay I know I am not clear on what I am asking above , cuz I really have lost it at this point. I think I wanna know in what order should I put these 5 transactions into. Which amount should be my beginning oop and then next and so forth. Is it beneficial to have the transactions close in totals? Aaayy, I gotta hit the bed. Thanks for any help, Janene

will these sunday & monday sales work on saturdays for the stores that activate on saturdays?

Now how do I go about this....start my transactions? Will my ECB expire at the end of the month or do I have a month once issued? Am I anywhere close to accomplishing this? What does roll over mean? Thanks to everyone here whose posts have gotten me this far. Very Overwhelmed, Janene

You have one month to use the ECBs once they're issued. However, with multiple transactions like you've set up, the idea is to "roll" the ECBs you receive from one purchase into the next one. So after you're earned the $17.45 from transaction #1, you would then use those ECBs to pay for transaction #2. (I don't think you're already doing this in your OOP totals, are you?)

I'm not very good at doing this, so I'll have to leave your question about the best order to arrange this to someone else But you'll probably need to do some rearranging of your groups to pay for them with the ECBs.

Probably not. I don't think they ever have before.

If you are just starting CVS then this week (Dec 7 - Dec 13) is the PERFECT week to start!

First, do these 2 transactions:
Transaction #1:
8.99 - Complete Multipurpose Solution, 12 oz
(-2.00) - Internet printable cpn here
Pay: $6.99 out of pocket (OOP)
Get: $8.99 ECB

Transaction #2:
8.99 - Complete Multipurpose Solution, 12 oz
1.59 - Powerade, 32 oz
(-2.00) - Internet printable cpn here (you can print it twice)
Use: $8.99 ECB from Transaction #1
Pay: $0 OOP
Get: $8.99 ECB for Complete & $1.59 ECB for Powerade

(Note: If you can't get to CVS this week then just do Transaction #1 sometime before the Dec 21-22 sale transactions listed below.)


Is there still an ECB on the Complete Multipurpose Solution, since its after Dec 13th?

I jsut scaneed my card at CVS and i got a 2.50 off pain reliever or sleep aide purchase....do you think I could use that on my excederine transaction?

Yes, it is a monthly deal. I haven't been able to find any since the first week, though.

Anyone here want to suggest a scenerio for me. I have a 6.99 ecb and about $5 cash.

Does anyone know if cough drops are considered a food or a taxable item? Will ECBs print if you use food stamp benefits for food items with ecbs? I am still getting them because my DH and I are still only working part time jobs. (I hope that changes tomorrow when DH goes for a job interview, keep your fingers and toes crossed for us).

I am just too brain dead to think of a good scenerio. For some reason I am very visual and I have an easier time making up scenerios when I have the actual sale paper in front of me.

Does anyone have links to the arm and hammer and zantac mail in rebates?

Sure, as long as it doesn't say "2.50 off $10 purchase" or anything like that.

Does anyone have links to the arm and hammer and zantac mail in rebates?

I don't think that there are printable rebates. The zantac form was in the 11/9 SS, and the arm & hammer is a tearpad (you might be able to find one in your store). You could probably double check in the rebate forum, or use the coupon database. HTH
