Frequently asked questions:

Do you really do multiple transactions at your stores?

In the past, I usually had $20-30 ECB on hand, so I didn’t have to break up my transactions as much as I did when I first started, but now that I am starting over, yes, I am doing multiple transactions. If you are doing multiple transactions, I recommend that you let the cashier know up front that is what you are planning to do. If there are several people in line, let them go in between your transactions. This gives you time to clip your ECBs and get prepared for your next transaction.

My store was out of all the freebie items first thing this morning. Can I get a raincheck?

This all depends on your store. I have contacted corporate about this before because some stores in my area give rainchecks and others won’t. According to corporate, this is up to the individual stores.

I bought the wrong item or I bought the RIGHT item and my ECB didn’t print. What can I do?

If you bought the right item, show the store clerk your ad and your receipt. They should be able to manually print your ECB at the store. If they don’t know how, you can call customer service and they can add one to your account that will print within 48 hours (you have to wait 48 hours from your purchase time to do this so they can “see” your transaction in their computer).

If you bought the wrong item and didn’t receive ECBs, you can do a return and purchase the correct item. If you paid using ECBs, they will have to give you money on a gift card.

Get Rio for as low as $6.99 at CVS!

August 11, 2011 by

Yesterday I posted about a $3 printable coupon for the movie Rio here and I posted prices for Target and Walmart and then one of my fabulous readers let me know that there is also a deal at CVS!  I LOVE it when you guys leave comments and tell me about deals, by the way!

This week at CVS, when you spend $15 on iTunes gift cards, you can get the movie Rio for $9.99!  If you use the $3 printable coupon here, that’s just $6.99 for the movie!

Here’s the breakdown on this deal:

Buy $15 in iTunes gift cards
Buy Rio – $9.99

Use $3 Rio printable

Spend $21.99 OOP

I love it! I sure hope my store has some in stock because I’m planning on taking advantage of this deal and using my ECBs to help pay for it! If you haven’t registered your Extra Care card yet, you can also do that and sign up for their e-mails and you should get a $4/20 coupon e-mailed to you, which means you’d only be spending $17.99 OOP for the iTunes gift card and the movie!

Have you seen Rio yet?  What did you think?  My kids and I loved it!

CVS: BOGO free coupon policy changes

July 31, 2011 by

TLC’s Extreme Couponing strikes again (at least that’s MY opinion):  CVS is announcing some changes to their coupon policy with respect to Buy One, Get One free coupons.

-You CANNOT use a BOGO FREE MQ AND a $/1 MQ together for 2 items
-You CANNOT use (2) $/1 MQ’s on a CVS BOGO Sale (you can only use 1)

My store has actually been enforcing this for awhile now.  What I’m hoping CVS will do is actually put a coupon policy in writing the way that Walgreens did a few months ago instead of leaving decisions regarding coupons up to store employees and managers.

Do you feel that TLC’s Extreme Couponing is ruining couponing for everyone?  Make sure you check out my post on “Is TLC’s Extreme Couponing ruining it for legitimate couponers” here to see my thoughts on this!

(Thanks Coupon Clippin Daddy for the heads up on these changes)
