CVS ~ Black Friday 2010

Thanks! does that mean 24 hour stores will start at midnight?

You might want to ask your store what time they activate. The past 2 years, my 24 hr store did not turn the ECB deals over until 6am on Thursday morning.

i am fairly new to couponing with cvs so I have a question.
I think I have a good deal worked out, if someone could tell me if they think it is a good deal or not and if I could actually do it, I would appreciate it.

Transaction 1
Buy 1 Carmex $.99 use $.30 coupon get .99 ECB
Buy 1 Herbal Shampoo $3.99 use 2.00 coupon get 3.99 ECB
Buy 1 Herbal Conditioner $3.99 use 2.00 coupon get 3.99 ECB
Buy 1 Gillette deoderant $4.00 use 2.00 coupon get $4.00 ECB
Buy 5 Reese $.79 each get $3.95 ECB
So I would spend $10.62 OOP before taxes and get $16.92 in ECB

Transaction 2
Use the $16.92 in ECB
Buy 1 Chocolate Fountain at $18.88 get $10.00 ECB
So that would be 1.96 OOP before taxes and $10.00 ECB

so that would be
1 carmex
2 herbal products
1 gillete deoderants
5 resees (stocking stuffers)
1 chocolate fountain for
$12.58 OOP and $10.00 ECB

do you think that is a good deal or can someone come up with something better, this would be my first time really doing this. and can you use the ECB the same day like doing the 2 transactions.

Looks good to me. Maybe you'll have some ECBs to use to get the first oop down lower, but I think it's a great job.

There is a $2 coupon in the Nov P&G for any Clairol family product - can be used on the Herbal Essence shampoo/conditioner.

how?? does it have clairol on it somewhere? i would think this is for just that named portion of products... kwim?

I have 4 bottles of the swirled purple stuff and it does say Clairol right above Herbal Essences. The bottle of Drama Queen says Clairol on the back. I don't see why that q couldn't be used since it says "family of products"??? Maybe a MOD can weigh in??

Does anyone know if these deals can be done online?

Because Herbal Essence is a Clairol product you should be able to use the coupon on the item. However, YMMV as the picture on the coupon shows hair dye and you know if you have a non-coupon friendly cashier they are going to fight you on it.

If the store is not 24 hour; can we begin shopping Wednesday night like we can shop on a Saturday for the next week's sale?

I've been couponing almost a year now and I wasn't doing CVS last year, so when everyone was saying save your ECB's for the black friday sale I had no idea it would be this good.
