I also was thinking for some reason that the monthly deal on complete solution was 5 and snatched up a third. ugh. oh, AND I bought all 3 arm and hammer on one receipt so I cant turn in 2 rebates like I planned, AND didnt get a duplicate of the olay regenerist I bought to go toward the $15 gift card wyb 2 and the coupon booklet offer.... soooo many mistakes!!!

I feel your pain.. busy time of year and soo hard to stay organized. Congrats and Best Wishes on the BABY!!!!

I figure I get enough stuff for free and I'm not going to do perfect transactions every time--win some, lose some. Sometimes deals work out better than planned sometimes not. I like to try to stay under the radar as much as possible. I know that at my main CVS, all the cashiers and mgrs know my face, so I try to be a good customer. Lots of CVSers complain about cashiers and mgrs, I think it's equally as important that you be a good customer. Let's face it, when you buy items with ECBs and coupons, it makes the return transaction more of a hassle. So I just deal with it and it keeps me on my toes for next time. Just yesterday I purchased 3 Crest mouthwashes. I thought the limit was 3, it was 2. So my $3 nailpolish coupon went to cover my mouthwash instead of giving me extra ECBs. But on Sunday, the cashier gave me a free Jingle Bells dog by accident (Hallmark item) that was 4.99. So it's all a wash. In the end it always works out and you get tons of free stuff.

It's a bit of a hassle to return if you paid almost nothing out of pocket, but you can do it if you really, really want to. I do not, but if it's makeup I will exchange colors and shades.

The computer won't generate the Extra Care Bucks. I was able to get rain checks for the items I could not find. Some folks have posted that their stores refuse to write them but I have not had that problem. The ads now have an Event Code on them so when you redeem the rain check they can print your Extra Care Bucks for you after the transaction has been completed.

I went to 3 different stores this week for various things. At each store different bandaids were on sale. I don't understand how this is possible. I actually asked one of the managers and he didn't know. I guess it was up to the discretion of the manager??

There are kids bandaids in 2 places: with the regular bandaids and with children's remedies. All together I think I saw Hello Kitty, Nascar, Dora, Diego, and Spongebob. Maybe Barbie too? Can't remember b/c I was looking for a boy! At the first store Hello Kitty and Nascar were on sale. No Nascar in stock. Second store only Dora and Diego were on sale. Third store Spongebob, Hello Kitty, and Dora were the only kids bandaids on sale.

I called CS to try to find out which ones were on sale, but they couldn't even tell me. Anyhow, at the one store they refused to adjust my coupon so I bought 4. I used another coupon at another store (the $3/2) and that worked fine. I've been using the $3/3 Johnson's coupons at Walmart for the Buddies soaps.

Thanks! I'm going to see if I can get some too!

I don't think I've seen this posted, but when I bought some more of the bandaids last night, at the bottom of my receipt a few of the 2-day freebies are still shown in the listing. It shows Listerine, Right Guard, Iceland, and both AdvantEdge items. The only thing I didn't max out on was the Right Guard and it still shows "Quantity needed to earn reward - 1".

Any chance a select few deals are still working all week? My store still doesn't have the Right Guard in stock, so this isn't helpful for me, but hopefully someone else can benefit, if it is true.

Edited to correct: Sorry, I was mistaken, the only item still listed is the Right Guard. Didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up, was looking at the wrong receipt.

Right Guard is still listed because it is a 6 ecb December monthly deal. But it was on sale for $6 for only two days Sunday-Monday. After Monday it rises to 7.99.

If you got your 5 during the 2 day sale and not your monthly deal, the limit went back to 5 on the receipt. So if you did not finish the monthly deal, you are out of luck now. Also, the monthly is $9.99 get $6 ECBs.
