I decided to take my own advice this week and did the CVS shopping scenario that we posted about earlier this week!
It worked out great. I did have an extra CVS cpn not mentioned in the scenario that popped out of the CVS scanner. Of course right after I did it I received a $3 off an Olay (and others) $15 purchase…it figures LOL!
Transaction #1:
3 Olay Facial Cloths 30-33 ct. $3.74
3 Olay Body Washes $5.99 ea.
Subtotal: $29.19
Used (3) Get FREE Olay Body Wash wyb Olay Facial Cloths or Cleansers P&G 7-22 (exp. 8-31)
(Cpn excludes Pro-X, Regenerist, Total Effects, Age Defying & trial)
AND used $2.00 off $10 Beauty Purchase – CVS scanner cpn
AND used $2.00 off any Body wash purchase of $8 or more
Used $5.00 ECB from last week’s scenario
Used 1.75 in ECB from previous shopping trip
Final price: paid $.47 + got $5 ECB
Although there has been much chatter about using (2) $3.00/2 Olay cpns along with the BOGO cpn it’s really not a legit use of the cpn! The cpn is a $3.00/2 that means you have to buy 2 products in order to use the cpn. Therefore the cpn links to both the cleanser AND the body wash. You cannot legitimately use 2 manufacturer’s cpns on one item and if you use the $3.00/2 you couldn’t use another cpn on either item.
Even if a cpn scans without beeping doesn’t mean it’s ok to use it. CVS will not be reimbursed for both cpns. Manufacturer’s call that double dipping and CVS loses out 🙁
4 Suave De0dorants $1.00 ea.
4 Suave Body Washes 2/$4.00
2 Herbal Essences or Aussie Hair Care 2/$6.00
Subtotal: $18.00
Used (2) $.75/1 Suave Body Wash (limit 2 per transaction)
Used (2) .50/2 Suave Body Wash (limit 2 per transaction)
Used (4) .50/1 or .75/1 Suave Deodorant RP (#1) 7-29
Used $1.00/2 Herbal Essences or Aussie P&G 7-1 (exp. 7-31)
Used $1.00/2 Herabal essences or Aussie – CVS Scanner cpn
Used $5.00 ECB from transaction #1
Final price: paid $4.60+ get $4 ECB (Suave) + $1 ECB (Herbal Essences)
Grand Total: paid $5.07 out of pocket + got $5.00 ECB and since everything from both scenarios applied to my Beauty Club purchases it put me over the $50 and I’ll get $5 more ECB next time I shop 🙂
