GDA on the scope outlast
3.99 - 1.00/1 9/27 PG -2.00 ECB= $0.50

I think the math is off. Should it be:

3.99
- 1.00/1 9/27 PG
- 2.00 ECB
= .99 and not .50?

I think it's $1.50 ECBs and not $2. :shrug7:

I did this one this morning. I found the basic foundation for 6.19, then a TruBlend blush for 12.99. Had to get manager override for the coupon, but I think that was because the value was over $10. Still seemed to be kind of a problem, but the manager put it through. Luckily I had a really good cashier who totally understood that the face product should be free, even though it was more than the foundation.
I think by face product it can only be foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, etc. Anything else would be considered lip product, eye product or whatever.

This makes a good transaction to use the $5/25 if you don't want the P&G products or don't have the coupons for them.

CG foundation: 6.19
CG blush: 12.99
vaseline lotion: 7.99
subtotal: 27.17
-$5/25 from flu quiz
-BOGO covergirl 12.99
-vaseline lotion 1.25
=7.93, and get back $12 EB

I also bought 2 papers, and still only had an .88 OOP after EBs (including tax).

I tried to use the same coupon at my CVS and the cashier would not even try the coupon because he insisted that the of equal or lesser value part was implied. I read the coupon out to him, but he would not even look at it and kept pushing it back. When I walked away he and another employee joked about some people not being able to read plain English.

I have complained to CVS, and I am not happy.

I had a gut feeling that this would happen..that's why I posted on this a few days ago. I think someone else also had a problem with it too and had to get a mgr to push it through, it's definitly a YMMV kinda thing. I know that if I were to do it...I would have the same problems as you..so I just don't go there. I don't want to be flagged...it's bad enough when I'm already doing multiple orders. Just my opinion...

dawn renew handsoap is free with $1 off coupons from Home Made Simple Booklet. They expire 9-30!!! Maybe the new booklets have the same coupon. I can't find my new one....

They sure do! I had two from the books that expire 9/30 and two more from the latest version - expiring on 3/31/10. Four bottles for free! Great find!

Here's my plan for tonight, please advise of any errors. :)

#1)
Covergirl Foundation $6.19
Covergirl Blush $12.99
Gillette Fusion razor $9.99
Total: $29.17
-$10 off $20 (from Grand Opening mailer)
-$4 Fusion
-$12.99 blush
-$1 Covergirl
Total OOP: $1.18
Get back: $5 ECB + $5 ECB

#2)
(4) Bounce Dryer Bars $4 ea= 16
Charmin Big Rolls 16 pk $10
Total: $26
-$10 off $20 (from Grand Opening mailer)
-$5 ECB
-$5 ECB
- (4) $1 off Bounce Dryer Bar (-4)
- .25 Charmin
Total OOP: $1.75
Get Back: $10 ECB

#3)
Vaseline lotion 7.99
(2) Ponds towelettes BOGO = $6.79
Total $14.78
-$10 ECB
- $1.50 IP Vaseline
- (2) $1.50 IP Ponds
Total OOP: .28
Get back $7 ECB

Now, another question. I happened to get two of the Grand Opening mailers (each has two $10/$20 Qs), one addressed to me, one to household. Do you think I can use all four coupons? Or do you think the system will only allow two $10/$20 coupons per card?

I have only been to my CVS a couple times, they are new here and the cashier is not at all nice. He does not like to take manufacturer's coupons at all when I am using a CVS coupon- like the $5 off $25 one.

I actually called CG before I called CVS to make a complaint and they told me that the coupon can be used for any face product that was equal to, less than or more than the price of the foundation and that it would automatically max out at $15 since that was the highest suggested retail price for any of their face products. They are sending me a coupon good for a free CG product, CVS just basically said they were sorry for my experience and to have a good day.

**Scenario**
Buy 4 tide @ $6. = $24
Buy 1 dawn @ $1. = $1.
Total is $25
Use $5/$25 or any other $/$$ CVS Q
Use (4) $1/1 Tide
Use (1) .25¢/1 Dawn
Final $15.75
Pay using $7 ECB from Vaseline deal above
Pay $8.75 OOP
Get back $10 ECB
(Makes it FREE after ECB's $1.25 MONEY MAKER)

That math is misleading ... it's not a MM
You're paying $15.75 (with real cash or cvs cash - don't matter)
You get back $10
So this is not free...And you MAKE nothing... you spend $5.75
