I'm sorry to be writing this here, but I don't have your email. I see on your site "free easy bakeware". Is it really free? Is there a catch? Thanks so much, and I'm looking forward to Old Navy coupon seeking with you! Last week, I watched it for 13 hours and took a nap from 10:50 to midnight, and it came up at 10:57pm (central). I wanted to cry. Hopefully I'll get the $75 this time! :o)
Oh and if you got the Home Made Simple coupon book, there is a $0.50 coupon in there for dawn.
Jennifer, I think you're referring to one of the Google AdSense ads. The bakeware is free if you sign up for a trial of something else which you would then have to cancel, or believe they give you the option to pay shipping instead. Just be sure to read the fine print.
Thanks for the info on the Home Made Simple coupon!
Please disregard post # 3! My computer is acting all wacky today! It was suppose to go under the freebie section.
Can you use a manufactor coupon and an Extra Care Buck on one item?
Yes, you can use both, Stacy. However, if your out of pocket costs will be negative after you pay with your ECB, they will adjust the ECB down and you'll lose the balance.
Get (2) Clip-on Starter : 8.99x2= 17.98
Get (2) Clip-on Refill: 3.99x2= 7.98
Total=25.96 - (1) BOGO Starter Q, - (2) Free refill WYB starter Q, - (1) $2/1 Starter (SS 5/17) and - (2) CVS $3/1 starter Q
**First 2 Q's you can get them from the OFF! website
So: 25.96 - 8.99 - 7.98 - 2 - 6 = 0.99+tax!!!
Oops! The previous post was for the OFF! Clip-on Mosquito Repellent... I forgot to mention... :p
There are $2/1 Pampers coupons in the P&G coupon booklet from the deal a couple months ago, plus I got a $2/1 Pampers coupon in the mail last week. This makes for SUPER cheap diapers!
anyone used the clip on repellants yet? they look kinda big and did not know if they would stay on a child or just get knocked off.
Could anyone else get the Pampers page to print? The images didn't print for me. Also, where do you see the limit of 3? This is an awesome deal, so I want to make sure I can get it on it and pass it along! Thanks for your help.
Jessica´s last blog post..Weekly Spending 6/3/09
they printed for me. i am using internet explorer. hubby suggested you try to use the print preview before you hit the print button and see what it shows you. good luck.
I just want to thank you for your hard work. You have saved my family a fortune. The diaper deal you found this week is truly appreciated. I've checked out other blogs and, quite frankly, none compare to you. Thanks again!
Are ECB's the same in all states? Does anyone know a coupon blogger in Southern California I could follow, sometimes they dont seem to match. Thanks!
LOVE the diaper deal....thanks so much for finding that one!
RE: The Off Clip On...I have one that I got free from BzzAgent. While I really like it for myself (and it has really been working...no Skeeter Bites for me!), I think it might be a little cumbersome for a kid. It's really big, and also the clip isn't super tight, so I feel like it would fall off. Plus, according to the directions, it takes a "few minutes" for coverage to build up if you move around, so with a kid like mine who doesn't stand still for a single second, it might not be so effective. Hope that helps!
Sara´s last blog post..CVS Deals, Week of 6/7
The coppertone coupon printed a blank page but the expiration date for me and then I coudn't print anymore! I will call coppertone on Monday!
The Pampers limit 3 is what's advertised in the weekly ad. The ECB deal is only advertised online, so that's why I'm suggesting you print the page in case the ECBs don't print.
I'm new at this so I'm not to sure about the ECB. Do I get ECB for every pampers that I purchased or is it good for all diaper purchase i.e. I get $15 for all all of them or do I only get $5?
Aneshka, it's not clear from the online ad, so I really can't say for sure. I think it should be $15 total since the weekly ad says limit 3, but again, I'm not positive.
I was having trouble printing the pampers page too - but then I "right-clicked" on the image and chose print. It worked that way for me. Hope that helps!
Diana - have you tried your Clip-On coupon scenario yet? Please let me know if it worked! I'd like to try the clip-on insect repellants, but I've been hesistant to pay so much for the starter kit.
There are reports on a coupon message board I read that the Pampers ECBs are not printing, but most managers are force-printing them if the person brought in the printed ad. Hopefully CVS can get their act together!
I went in to get the pampers deal. I did not get it. I had the print out from the website but I will need to call the 800 number. The manager said he did not have an event code nor did it say anything on my receipt earning any reward. So he said he couldn't print it out.
Also check your contour coupon. Mine was for test strips not the monitor so I lost out on that too!
Stay tuned!
So, the diaper deal... does this mean I have to split it into 3 transactions to get $15 ECB?
If so, could I do one transaction, then pay for the next package with ECB? Or will the ECB not print when I use them to pay? Sorry, I'm new to this! Thanks!
Jenni, you could do one transaction and then use the ECBs from that one to pay for the next. That's how you can get really low out of pocket costs at CVS. However, it sounds like the deal isn't working yet, so be prepared.
I also went to CVS this morning and the manager told me to call the 1800 number. I'm going to try another CVS later today.
I am so upset! I had all my scenarios planned out and went and got 8 papers today for the Dove deodorant deal... and my Red Plum does not have a single Dove coupon in it! This is so totally unfair!!!

I also just realized that my SS doesn't have 0.75 off of toothbrushes... only toothpaste. I was so excited about my week at CVS and it has just down down the drain... :-(

I tried the Pampers ECB deal this morning and had luck!
First I asked the cashier about it as a question before I even got any diapers. I showed her the printed page, and said “Are you doing this deal right now?” She didn’t even hesitate and said “yes. You can do it, but it is limit 3″. So I bought 2 extra papers (b/c there is a $1 off Pampers coupon in there today - I already had one) and I did the following deal:
$8.99 x 3 = 26.97 - $3 coupons = 23.97 - $5 in previous ECB (from this weeks Dawn deal and Fusion Razor deal) = 18.97 and I got $15 in ECBs!!! It did not automatically print - she seemed to know it wouldn’t. She looked at my sheet again, typed something in and out printed the $15 ECBs!! I am seriously stocked for diapers now!! Also watch the packages of pampers… I think they in the process of switching to packs with less diapers… my CVS had Pampers Baby Dry with 34 count and 31 count (size 4).
Good luck!
I too brought in the printed page and got $15 ECB's without question, one transaction! My banana boat ECB's didn't print out either but I did get those without a problem.
I went this morning and no ecb’s printed for the pampers. (I didn’t have the page I printed either because I ran out of the house so fast this morning I forgot it on the table.) My cvs manager would not print them for me because he said he had heard nothing about it. Anyways I talked to a guy from cvs.com (corporate is closed today) and he said they were aware they are having issues with the ecb’s printing and they are working on it. He said it should be fixed by tomorrow. Also if you have already bought them and ecb’s did not print out, keep the receipt, call corporate when they are open and they should issue your ecb’s.
I just wanted to add that I , too, did not get automatic ECBs for the pampers this morning, but both stores I went to printed them out manually for me (I only got 3 total, but spread it over 2 stores). I had to explain a lot about where I found the ad, and they kind of tried to put up a fight (saying stuff about an event code, maybe it's an online deal only--thank goodness the page says "ONLY IN STORES", etc), but I was friendly and asked them to honor it and both managers did.
I went first thing this morning, and no one in either store had heard anything about it.
I had my best CVS day ever, which I am getting ready to post about...it was amazing! $111.56 in merch for $6.60 out of pocket!
Sara´s last blog post..CVS Deals, Week of 6/7
I was curious where you found the CVS Q's for the OFF Clip?
Are they in store or did they print out on your receipt?
Pamper Deal is a DUD! Two CVS managers said this is not legit because there is no barcode or code to type in the register. If you are getting this deal...it's only because your store is bypassing the system. Don't expect this deal to work! I'm calling the 800 number to ask what's up.
I did the OFF clip on deal about two weeks ago when the stater packs were $7.99 and the refills were $3.99. This is how it worked for me.
BUY (2) starters
(2) refills
Use: (1) BOGO starter coupon
(2) BO GO refill coupon
(1 ) $3.00 off starter coupon printed from CVS website.
I did not have the $2.00 coupon. Still a great deal.
I think it is legit when you go to the cvstoday.com website it is there on the front page
Where does it show that the diaper deal is limit 3?
Amber´s last blog post..Taking a Day to Ourselves
I am so excited...I got 3 jumbo packs of Pampers and bottles of dish soap for $5.00 because I had extra coupons and also a $5/$25. I did have to talk to the manager so thank you so much for the heads up about printing the page! =)
I read somewhere that if your ECB's don't print now they will show up on the 1st of July for the pampers. (I will try to find the source) I see you recommend using 6 $.75 coupons for the toothbrushes. Do I have to buy 6 newspapers to get them? I am confused
With a little effort was able to get the Pampers diaper deal to work and left with $15 ECB. I also used three $2 P&G booklet coupons and a $5 off $30 CVS coupon.
I printed 3 copies of the deal from CVS.com in case they wanted one per pack. The cashier had never see this deal and said she couldn't do it unless it was listed in the ad or the month ECB booklet. No ECB printed after the transaction. She said that Pampers deal might be for stores in specific regions of the country. I explained to her that this was advertised from the homepage of CVS.com and I never entered a zip code. The cashier asked a manager was nearby. He didn't say a whole lot, but noted that the dates from the website were valid and manually printed my ECB. As I left, he immediately got on the phone - I assume he was calling to find out the situation with the inconsistent advertising.
Hopefully others will be able to get their ECB too!
I too tried the Pampers deal and with NO luck! The Online ad says, "Pampers available online or In store". I understand this to mean that the promotion is available in store, and that Pampers can be found there.
My ad on CVS said offer valid in store only, which further proves the point we should get the ECB. My cashier refused to do it today, but luckily the District Manager is my cousin so a quick little phone call to him at home got it solved. I got 3 packs for $13 OOP and 15 ECB printed! I'm going back tomorrow to do it again since nothing is on receipt saying my limit was reached!
Dore'´s last blog post..Thrifty Thursday (June 4 edition)
Looks like those of you who got the deal are lucky - I just checked the link again to try and print off of IE (didn't work on Firefox), and the link no longer advertises the $5 ECB deal.
Yep, looks like CVS caught their mistake because the link no longer has the deal on it. I KNEW I should've printed it yesterday. :(
If anyone happens to have a copy of the file saved and could email it to me I'd love you forever! :)
the page i printed out shows pampers deal is good til the 13th. yet when i called them on this today, they said the offer was only good until 9 a.m. the cvs manager had already called them for me and said they decided to take back the offer since they were not printing and ended it at 8:30. sounds like they have issues with keeping their facts straight as well as honoring their offers. i think we should all email them and tell them what we think of their ethics.
UGH! I went w/o printing the page out (because my CVS is typically ON THE BALL) and I didn't get my ECB's when I told the cashier she told me to call the headquarters but was a Pain.....First the Old Navy fiasco...now this...my 2 GREAT deals of the week bit me in the butt! Thank God for Big Y and their buy 1 Get 2 free deal.....I would've been devistated this week if it weren't for that. If anyone happens to have a copy of that CVS page could you email it to me? dcarroll@daniellecarroll.net

We have reports that the managers of our CVS stores are not honoring the CVS/Pampers deal, "they don't know what to do".
Here is what we and what our friend Lisa has done. Good luck and let us know how things turn out for you. Just remember, be nice, smile and stand up for yourself.
We called this morning about 11am central time and was told by a CVS representative that this offer was "posted in error" and that it had been removed from the site. Upon checking this site at 4:15pm it is there and has not been removed. We called the customer service desk again (1-888-607-4287) and was told that this "was not an valid offer and that the ECBs will not print and they will not give out the ECBs if you purchase the diapers". We asked why the site was still posted and she said "that they were working on it".
Lisa's Experience:
I just called the number at the bottom of my printout from the CVS online ad that shows the $8.99 plus $5 Extra Bucks (1-888-607-4287.) Explained my situation to the rep and she put me on hold to check. About 30 sec. later she came back on and told me she was sorry but there was nothing she could do for me because that ad was a mistake and had been pulled at 10 am this morning and revised on their website. I told her I printed the ad off at about 8:30 am and made my purchases at 10:46 am. She again apologized and said there was nothing she could do. I politely asked for a manager, and got a floor supervisor after about a minute holding. I again explained the situation and she said she would go ahead and honor it, no argument. She had me read all the info from the top of my receipt and get the packages of Pampers to verify the UPC code. She said my $15 extra bucks (for buying three packs of diapers) will be available in about 48 hours because their system will take some time to update, and that it will print off at the bottom of my next store receipt to use on a future purchase. She said I could even just buy a 10 cent item, the coupon would print, and then be available to use in the store that day.
Dang, I wish two things: one that my printer had worked this morning, and two that I had read the last comment before going to CVS! I lost $6 ECB on the pampers, and now have nothing to roll over to the next period... Tara, can you edit the original post to NOT show the ECB since CVS is not honoring it and you can no longer print it? ...just a thought.
