Thanks for the list of deals…doesn’t look all that great…wags has a better deal on garnier this coming week…FREE, no real limit unless your wags has coupons scrooges…
I tried to find the Soy Joy six packs and couldn’t find them anywhere. Do you know where they should be?
Cottonelle wipes – value pack of one starter kit and one refill for $5.98 with 3 EB = 2.98 (I also had a CVS printable coupon for $1, so it was 1.98!)
One of my stores has had the value pack items (like the SoyJoy) out for a few days at least. The bigger store was just putting them out tonight, and the hadn’t made it ti the SoyJoys yet. They should be out soon.
I have looked for the blade coupons. I do not see it can someone tell me for sure if it is in the book and not another issue? I have looked at both sets of coupons in there. Thanks
Where do we find the Reinventing Beauty Mag? Can we get them at CVS? Also, can we use the Soy Joy Qs on this week’s deal, even though the Q states for 5 single bars instead of the pack?
Can anyone tell me where I can find the Reinventing Beauty Book at CVS? I can never seem to find it
WAGS wouldn’t let me do more then one shampoo b/c the limit in the Easy Saver books says “Limit 1″…wish they would’ve advertised that! I didn’t want to go grab several more books right in front of her after she scolded me!
BR/BR/Also – The SoyJoy bars were on the end of the aisle near all the other “health” stuff… hope this helps!
I had to get rain checks for most of my stuff this week. The reinventing Mag that they had was a different issue than Kate Hudson, so I wonder if that was last month’s.
To mention the Cottonelle coupon in the Nov. ALL You says you need to buy both a double roll 4pk or larger AND 42 ct COTTONELLE FRESH Flushable Moist Wipes tub or refill or larger. Must purchase both.
I think I should mention what I just discovered!BR/Haven#39;t gone to do it yet but some of you may have the same coupons that I do. (got them from trading so don#39;t know what paper they came in)BR/BR/StayFree maxi pads are 2/$9 and are part of the Jamp;J deal, buy $20 get 10 ECBs.BR/I am gonna get 4 packs of pads and whatever liners I need to fill with to reach $20.BR/Use 2 $2 off 2 coupons on the maxis.BR/Use 2 b1g1f coupons on the Maxis.BR/And use the printable 3/15.BR/BR/I figure that my total will be about $4 and I am gonna get back $10 ECBs.BR/So money maker on the MAXI PADS LADIES!!!
I found my Soy Joy bars where they have regular food, which is also close to where they had the christmas stuff. It was a in a special box that was obviously printed up just for CVS as it had the ECB deal printed on it. They were NO WHERE near the individual bars.
Where do we find the Reinventing Beauty Mag?
They are in a few places at my store. I often see them in the beauty isle. My store had 2 different ones. But I haven’t bought one yet because they often have the coupon parts out near the pharmacy.
http://justniftythrifty.blogspot.com/2009/01/cvs-haul-11009.htmlBR/BR/The limit on the SoyJoy is more than 5. BR/BR/Is this a weekly or monthly deal? Any idea?
