Kelly, if the Stayfree and Listerine are part of the same deal, you can only do it once. But you could mix and match items within the deal if you'd like.

Hey! The ad says limit one per customer. Does that mean I can only do the deal once? Like if I buy stayfree in one transaction for the $5 ECB, can I not then buy $10 worth of Listerine? Does that make sense?

I don't see the Stayfree coupons on the Redplum site. Is there a certain zip code that's generating them?

wait... how can you use both the B1G1 coupon AND the $1 coupon?

Am I blind or is the printable coupon gone?

That's a great deal! I'll use my extra CVS gift cards with that to save even more.

Thanks, Deborah! I knew it made sense!

I got some on ebay and I just got an email saying they have shipped. Hopefully they'll be here by Saturday... if not I'll go when I get them in!

I still can't figure out WHY I couldn't figure that out last night... haha!

Amy,
You use one of your B1G1 coupons and one of your $1 coupons. Your OOP will be $4.00. You will receive $5.00 in ECB. You have made a $1.00 on the deal.
If you have extra coupons, you can do the scenario again, using Tara's instructions above to Liz, but you will not get ECB's on the second transaction, because it is a limit of one (1).
If you do the scenario twice you will have received $20.00 in stayfree products and a $1.00 item all for an OOP of $4.00!
Too bad I don't have any B1G1 coupons. How long does it take to receive them if you order them? Will I have enough time to get them?

What are ECB's???

I had this figured out earlier... I even ordered B1G1 coupons... and printed the $1 ones.

But all of a sudden I can not figure out how the stayfree deal is a moneymaker? I must have shopped too long today! Someone explain this again for me please? lol

Tara- just tried to print the Stayfree $1/1 C and it's saying it's expired??? I even updated the coupon printer software...if that makes sense. Any advice? Thanks Jenna

Tara thanks for the info on the dates. I've looked everywhere for dates on my SS and RP but couldn't find them. Never thought to look on the spine : ) Michele´s last blog post..Can stress affect fertility?

Liz, to maximize your savings, you'll want to buy two products and use one of each coupon per transaction. Your first transaction will be $4 out of pocket and you'll get $5 ECBs. You can turn around and do a second transaction using the same scenario, add a small filler item that costs around $1, and your OOP should be pennies because you can pay with the ECBs from the first transaction.

You need to use a filler item because otherwise your total would be less than the ECBs you're paying with. Most cashiers will adjust them down, but then you're losing $1 needlessly. Just use that $1 to buy something else small you might need.

My CVS takes manufactuar coupons up to a month expired.... I know not all CVS do this but more and more in the Detroit area seem to be doing this.... and I figure it might be worth checking out.

In addition, to my question, I actually have 2 BOGO coupons and 2 $1 off coupons... Would it be smarter to get 4 stayfree products w/ the E$5 ECBS?

By: Liz

Liz — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:13:53 +0000

Okay so can someone help me with Stayfree? :) If I have a BOGO coupon and 1 $1 dollar off coupons, would that fulfill the transaction requirements for receiving $5ECBs?

And, if I'm doing the math right, if I'm using these coupons correctly, would the total be $4.00 out of pocket before the $5ECBs?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Michele, I'm not sure what's on the front, but I just wanted to tell you that the dates are written in very fine print on the spine of all the inserts. It's kind of hard to find what you need quickly though, so I always take a Sharpie and write the date of the insert on the front cover.

I've gone through a stack of my SS but can't find the B1G1 Stayfree coupon. Can someone tell me what's on the cover of the 6/28 SS? Michele´s last blog post..Your vasectomy is offending my infertile self
