I received via mail notice that I have $42.50 in quarterly ExtraBucks Reward and sale price savings of $1.02. I took it to my CVS and asked how I used it and the store manager could not tell me anything about it. Told me to call the 1-800 number for info.
Always scan my extra card but have not ever 'cashed' it in.

If you return items that contributed toward ECBs, do you lose the ECBs?

What are the CVS Dollar off transaction coupons and how do I score those?

Pelase explain me in detail how the Zyrtec deal works for this week (9/18/11). I had the cupon for $7.00 but no other discount was applied or given. Did I need to scan the actual coupon in the red machine before using it? How can I know if the Rtc will be $5 or $10? Any suggestions if I didn't get it?
Thanks.

I guess when I say free I mean to say very cheaply or close to free. For instance getting a very cheap deal on soap then selling it out of your garage for full price. Not only morally wrong but I'm 99.9% sure that's illegal.

I think once you own it (and you do own it after it's free) you can do what you want. I personally would never do that. Where are people getting "free" items anyway? the stores in my areas have so tightened their policies that I am rarely ever able to do this. I don't consider "free" after ECB to be "free" because I paid money out of pocket.

Am I the only one who thinks selling things you get for free at the store is illegal? You're making profit from a manufacturers expense. Does anyone else agree with me? Even if it's not illegal I think that's terribly wrong.

Yes, as long as the limit on the deal is more than one. But you don't need to go to another store -- most stores will let you do multiple transactions.

Can I use ecbs on the same scenarios as before and get MORE ecbs the same? For instance, buy a razor for 8.50, get 5$ ecbs. Go to a different store, buy the same razor with my $5 ecbs, and get more ecbs?

I have never been to CVS before but was thinking of going. Can anyone tell me if they are offering a BOGO sale can you use a coupon on each item. Also can you use an ECB to get another ECB on the same item but on a different transaction?

Can I stack an ECB and a manufacturer coupon for the same item?

EX. Laundry soap B1G1
Use 1$ off 2 and 2$ ecb?

OOP does not include the tax. What do you do if the item is not on the shelf anymore?

Thanks.

I am new at couponing and until now I've been afraid of walking in to the store because I truly had no idea how to take advantage of this coupons. I have a big family, recently in a bad economic situation and obviously in need of lots of items and it will kill me to walk in there unprepared.
After reading this amazing detailed information, I am more than ready to start my smart shopping.
Thank you sooooo much, my family and I really needed this help.

I dont quite understand how this works. I have read it but how do you get the ebc's and do you start purchasing products before you can recieve them. What about the coupons where are we suppose to find all these coupons. I am just new and need a little advice because I have decided with the economy so bad we need to start saving in many ways.

Right, you have to pay the first time, but then if you can keep "rolling" the ECBs, that's where the real savings kick in.

I see it said a lot that if you buy something for .99 and you get .99 ecb it's like getting it free. But for the first time going in, you will have to pay the regular price oop, correct?

There's no way to counter it. Maybe a computer programmer could, but then that would totally be cheating! However, a lot of times I find the same coupon available in multiple places, (i.e. smartsource.com and on the manufacturer's website) and then you can usually print 2 from each source.
I don't have two computers, but I think a lot of people do, and print 2 from each computer.
