CVS Ad 8/9 - 8/15 past week

[pantherkat]

I'm actually excited about this week. I really, really want those cute (but way too expensive otherwise) pink and purple folders and comp books with the shiny diamond look for my daughter. This is my scenario to get them FREE FREE FREE FREE!!!!!! YAY!!!

Meter 14.99
School Supplies (including the folders and other overpriced stuff I would not normally get) $15 - should be able to be right around 15 without going over my much.
Revlon - 9.99

Total $39.98
Use
$14.99 q - meter
$1 q - Revlon
$4/20
$12 ecbs (4x$3 ecbs)
$7.99 ecbs
oop...zero if I can get school supplies right at $15 otherwise only what I go over. probably .50 or so (not including tax)

I will get back 5, 5 and 9.99 (exactly the amount of ecbs spent so not too shabby).

Now, on the off chance that my cvs enters the meter q as $30 my ecbs spent will only be $4.98 (I'll use 2 x $3 and add a small filler) and I will get back $19.99.

i would just like to point out that after a few cashiers get fired for inputting more than the sale price the rest at a store tend to get testy about coupon usage.

so, i always- always- always point out that they need to key in the sale price.

because we don't NEED more nasty-mean cashiers!

for those that have a upromise account, make sure to sign up for the ecoupons this month if you are planning on buying huggies diapers for the deal. there is an ecoupon for 1.50/1 diapers for this month!

the meter coupon is an up to coupon meant to be used for the exact. selling price if under 30.00. if meter is not on sale then it should be 30.00 taken off the full price... i have corrected a couple of clerks. as they were putting in full value when the meter is on sale for 19.99... they were very greatful. and said they would have gotten in trouble .. as their drawer would have been off by the difference.

Buy (15) 3-packs of Extra or Wrigley's Gum at $2/4 = $30.00
- 15 $1/1 Extra Or Wrigley's Brand Gum, Any 3-Pack Multi-Pack - 07-12-09 SS

Does anyone know if this is the wrong insert date? I have candy coupons for the other but can't find any gum coupons! My kids blow through gum like crazy...

I have a question about the Colgate BOGO.

I have Colgate MQs and also the Readyfill $2 off $10 oral products.

In order to use the Readyfill Q, do I need to buy $10 worth of Colgate get $10 worth free, or do I need to buy $5 worth get $5 free?

I need to get stocked up on toothpaste again! My niece checked into a drug rehab, and since it's a Church sponsored facility they don't get government grants, and donations are way down. They currently have 72 residents there! I talked to the director to find out what they need, and then sent almost all my toothpaste (30 or 40 tubes!), deodorant, feminine supplies, and a BUNCH of other stuff, mostly accumulated from CVS.

Yes I know I'm going off topic, but I do want to remind people who are stockpiling from these CVS shopping trips to remember the homeless shelters, halfway houses, etc. Demands are getting bigger and donations are getting smaller. If nothing else, it's at least a good way to rotate out your stockpile.

I wonder if it's regional. I also didn't get any gum q's in the 7/12 SS. :sad:
