If you need toothpaste and lots of gum, this is the week to run to CVS. Both are free or better than free after coupons and ECBs!

This week it’s your choice! There’s not really anything left that will get you a high return on your ECBs, so if you need diapers, do the Pampers deal now. If your stockpile of Coke is low, stock up on Coke. Or just save your $9.00 in ECBs and come back next week to see how we can roll them over!

In my area you can only get ecb’s for one of the toothpastes :-(

thanks so much for this helpful web site! i check it several times a week! but i am really confused about something…
where do you get the coupons? and can you use four coupons of the same exact thing? (4 $1 offs?) sorry – i’ve always used coupons, but not nearly as effectively! and i want to do this! thanks :)

Deal Seeking Mom
Stephanie and BusyMom, the ad does state limit one; however, it happens quite frequently that the limits are not always as stated. Several people on the SlickDeals forum have confirmed the limit to actually be four. I’m sorry. I meant to mention that in my post!
Anonymous, you can definitely use four coupons if you have four items. These particular coupons are from a Sunday insert. The information in parentheses tells you what insert it was in and the date it was in the paper.
V = Valassis
SS = SmartSource
RP = Red Plum
P&G = Procter & Gamble.
Hope that helps!
