It looks like the week of 8/2 is going to be a big one for money makers at CVS. Here are two more that involve printable coupons that you’ll want to print now in case they’re not available later!
:: Stayfree Pads Money Maker
Stayfree Pads (28-48 ct.), $5
Get $5 ECBs wyb $10 (limit 1)
BOGO Stayfree Product, exp. 8-31-09 (SS 6/28/09)
$1/1 Stayfree Product printable
Better than FREE after coupons and ECBs!
(Thanks, Saving Cents With Cents!)
:: Blink Tears Money Maker
Blink Tears or Gel Tears, $7.99
Get $7.99 ECBs (limit 1)
$1.50/1 Blink Tears printable
Better than FREE after coupons and ECBs!
If your store sets their sales early on Saturdays, you can use this coupon for a big moneymaker!
$4/1 Blink Tears or Gel Tears, exp. 8-1-09 (V 5/31/09)
(Thanks, Kerri!)
Don’t forget the FREE Electrasol deal is the week of 8/2 also!

I’m not sure if it’s a typo or if my coupon value is just different from yours, but my Blink coupon expiring 8/1/09 is for $4 off any — that’s a pretty big moneymaker, and I won’t be able to take advantage of it :(

Oops, yep, that’s a typo. $4, yeah!

Where did that $4 Blink coupon come from? What’s the V stand for? I don’t have it. Shoot! I’ll have to settle for the $1.50. :)
Gracie Cappello
Do they allow you to use the $1/1 coupon along with the BIGI Free coupon or can you only use one of the two??
Amy in LA
I don’t have the B1G1 either. Ugh. I never get the ones y’all do!
Amanda
$4 coupon is in the 5/31 Red Plum
LoriAnn
YEAH … I have a ton of these and was going to throw them out becasue I did nto think a deal was coming!
jamie
Hi! Just a question- since the ECB’s won’t print out unless you spend $10 on the Stayfree, won’t the B1G1 (which will make your total less that $10) prevent the ECB’s from printing?
Tara Kuczykowski
Jaime, ECBs print based on your total before coupons. This is how we’re able to get such great deals at CVS! :D
heather
For the ones that have A LOT of coupons, how do you benefit from this with those coupons when they are a limit? I’m new to this and trying to figure out if they are ways you can get around that limit or what do you do?
Thanks in Advance!

Amy in LA — didn’t look up the Blink coupon yet, but last night I went onto The Coupon Clippers website (www.thecouponclippers.com) and they still had plenty of the Stayfree B1G1 coupons. They do have a minimum total amount to buy (I think it’s $3 in coupon purchases + .92 S/H) but if you explore or do searches on their site you probably can find some other great coupons. I bought a bunch of the Stayfree coupons when Rite Aid had their sale, and just ordered some of the Schick $4 coupons for the Rite Aid gift card. Or you can also look for the coupons on trading boards or on ebay.
Michele
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?

Tara Kuczykowski
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.
Amy in LA
Thanks, Mary Beth!
Liz
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!
Liz
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?

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.
Tara Kuczykowski
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.
Michele
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 : )

Jenna
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
Amy in LA
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
Amanda
What are ECB’s???
Deborah
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?
Amy in LA
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!
diva99
That’s a great deal! I’ll use my extra CVS gift cards with that to save even more.
Jamie
Am I blind or is the printable coupon gone?
Amy in LA
wait… how can you use both the B1G1 coupon AND the $1 coupon?
Janey
I don’t see the Stayfree coupons on the Redplum site. Is there a certain zip code that’s generating them?
Jamie
Janey…I couldnt find them on redplum either , but if you go to stayfree.com you can print two $1.00’s up , at least you could yesterday :)
Kelly
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?
