I’ve got some great transactions mapped out for you this week! If you’re a newbie starting out, you can spend just $5.70 out of pocket for about $50 in merchandise (based on sale prices). If you’re returning with your $5 ECBs from last week, you can get the same amount for less than $1 OOP. Not only that, but you’ll end up with $11.99 in ECBs, so newbie or not, you’ll be EARNING money on your purchases!

Great post, especially for newbies who may not have ECBs or very many coupons.

Any idea what the limit on the Always Infinity is?
5 is the limit on the Soleil, eh?
On the Colgate I thought I had done 2 transactions and that 2 was the limit, but it does not say “* offer limit reached” for the Colgate… any idea how the system works on this?
Wondering about the Warm Delights max limit and the above… and then Eucerin is also 5… does that mean 12ECBs X 5?
Sorry for all the questions… and maybe you do not have time to answer, but if you do I would be super appreciative!

Sorry, Kathi! I’m guessing that like-minded CVSers maxed out the print limit.
Thanks, Bargain Babe! I hope you’ll stop back.
April, if you go back to the CVS Weekly Deals post, I list all of the limits in parentheses, and you’re correct on all the ones you mentioned above. The Always actually says one in the flyer, but people are reporting that they’ve been able to purchase two and get the ECBs. I’m not sure on the Colgate. Sometimes the receipts don’t update immediately, or it’s possible that the limit is higher than the ad states. And you’re absolutely right about the Eucerin. Hope that helps!

April, you can find tons of cute icons on iconspedia!
Nicole, I haven’t heard of any new $/$$ coupons. Often people report that they print with their ECBs, but I never seem to be that lucky. As far as the cold medicine, the best deal is to purchase 2 Viactiv Flavor Glides and the K-Y Liquibeads. Use the $2/1 Viactiv and the $5 K-Y printable for $5 OOP after ECBs.
