   Had fun with those freebies last year! My store had a limit of 2 transactions per person though so you couldn’t keep rolling and rolling the ECB’s.

  They recently changed it to say Extra Bucks instead of Extra Care Bucks, so we are using EB for the future (instead of ECB)…hope that helps! 🙂

   From the ad it looks like these are pre-Thanksgiving/Black Friday deals. Looks like its the Sun-Wednesday deals that week. Still good of course and hopefully MORE free stuff for the Thanksgiving/Black Friday circular.

   I don’t shop at cvs but with these deals I might have to. Can someone explain what EB are? They are extra bucks and I assume I need a cvs card but what happens then? Do the EB get loaded to the card? So I have to buy all these items first with cash then I can do another transaction to get more items for free using the card that I earned the EB on? Thanks for the help

  Linda- You do need a cvs card to receive the EB, and you can only use the EB for that card. For example the ludens are $1.00 you get $1.00 EB. So you pay the $1 up front and you’ll get a paper EB. You can turn around and spend the $1EB right away or save it for next time. The EB expires 2 weeks from purchase but most stores will still accept them a few days after expiration. Keep in mind some items are limited to just one EB, white other might be more. So once you reach the limit of EB, it won’t print more EB, for example the ludens are only limited to one EB, so if you bought 3, you’ll pay $3, and only get $1 EB.

  Did they change the exp date to only 2 weeks instead of a month on EB? It’s been awhile since I have been shopping at cvs and didn’t know if that is an updated policy change…thanks

  It’s one card per household, the system will link them. You can only use EB that are from a transaction with your card, they are coded and stated what card number its attached to on the EB. The system will say if not for your card.

  When you walk in your CVS there is a red coupon machine. You can scan your store card there and it will print a few offers out for you. Hope that helps!

  YES!!! One per CVS Card. Other q’s print here as well. I’d suggest signing up for the Beauty Club as well. You earn $5EB for every $50 spent. You can send these to your card or they will print at the Magic Coupon Machine!

  You can also scan products at the machine to validate pricing.

    Happy that the CVS deals are good. The Walgreens Black Friday ad was sort of disappointing.

    Question though: I’ve had a CVS card for a couple of years now, but recently downloaded the CVS app and saw that I only receive the “App only coupons” and not the other coupons I used to get (ex. $4 off $15 razors) Went to the store and they don’t print from the ticket machine either. Is that a new thing? Has anyone else had that problem?

  Ashley November 9, 2015 at 5:23 pm MST

  Check your settings on the app. You may have “gone paperless”, which means your coupons and EBs will only show up on your app and won’t print. I realized I did this when my EBs didn’t print recently.

  App only coupons are new and stated in the ads. They are seperate from personalized coupons and the ones that print for everyone.

  This also happened to me when I downloaded the app i miss my other coupons and don’t get near as good of deals now I would advise people not to get the app on account of this!!!

  App has nothing to do with what coupons that you get in your acct. It might just be coincidence, but it happens several times a year, they do a purge so other cardholders get an opportunity to get offers. Just have to wait it out until you get back in the circle.

    Coupon etiquette is it wrong to do multiple transactions so you spend less out of pocket with these deals? Rathe than buying them all at once?? And getting back the EBs all at once.For example buy 3 items for .99 then do another transaction for 3 items .99 and use the EBs to get those for free. Your spending less out of pocket by just buying 3 rather than buying all items at once with this deal?

  Lauren November 9, 2015 at 6:42 pm MST

  Linda, there is nothing wrong with splitting up the transactions! I always do a lot of planning for this particular sale, so I can get as close to $0 out of pocket as possible. I usually do 3 or 4 transactions, depending on how many EBs I have accumulated before the sale. There are always a lot of other couponers there doing the same thing. It’s super fun 🙂

  I think this is something that is totally acceptable, but if there is a line of people behind you, I would reonlinemend probably going back in line again just so others could go, which was what I was planning on doing for these transactions.

  Sarah November 9, 2015 at 8:54 pm MST

  I agree and I also agree with the getting back in line part it stinks to have to wait and wait but it’s the only way I can feel right about doing it!

  I would say it depends on how well organized you are before you step up to the register. I also usually do 3 or 4 transactions but I have them all seperated in my cart with the coupons that go with them so each transaction is fairly short. I’ve seen others who aren’t very organized and they randomly decide what to buy in each transaction and it takes them forever to check out even to a point where I am frustrated with them. I’ve also seen others with multiple cards checking out who spend a lot of time at the register which is even worse. Hey, I don’t mind if you have multiple cards but maybe use one card and then get in line again and use another.

  DItto what these lady’s have stated. I will step aside if there is someone else in line behind me and I have multiple transactions and there are others in line behind me with a single or a few items that obviously aren’t “couponers”.

  They’ll both print but it’ll add together. So if you buy two, it’ll print as 2 times the ecb. Like if it’s 1 ecb and you buy two, it’ll print as 2ecb. I hope that makes sense 🙂

  Cbeths November 9, 2015 at 7:45 pm MST

  You can buy together. You will only get one EB with the two totalled.

  Shopper November 9, 2015 at 7:52 pm MST

  For example, the veggies is a limit 2, purchase 2 in the same transaction a onlinebined $2 will print.

  Purchase 2 veggies and 1 pact, a $2 and a $1.50 with print.

  Same offers onlinebine into one EB (in 1 transaction – instead of printing $1 and $1) so it’s possible to have a large number of EB to spend later.

  You can purchase 1 veggie and get $1 EB. Then use that $1 EB on the same item or anything else in store, to spend less oop, and you’ll still receive the EB – if limit hasn’t been met.

  Limits are just for the EB to print, if you want more of that product you can purchase more, without the EB.

  Probably more info than needed :p

  It matters to me! I have often been stuck with more ecbs than I can spend wisely in a given week, which is a waste. So I will plan multiple transactions to minimize my oop (which in turn minimizes the # of paper ecbs to spend in future) but still maximizes my overall savings.

    Can someone tell me if nail polish would be considered a cosmetic? The Red Box machine is printing a $3 on Revlon cosmetics this week so the nail polish next week would be a MM with this coupon. $4.99-3.00 = $1.99 OOP and then get a $3.00 EB

    Took some time, but the least OOP scenario I have onlinee up with is $.49 and you will have $1.98 EB left over at end if anyone would like to copy it: Please note, I used 1 each of the Centrum (limit 2) in two different transactions.
    The figures out to the Right – first line is what you’ll use to pay, the second line is the EB you will get from that transaction.

    I put lines between transactions but the formatting here deleted them so I put double spacing between. Hope this helps.
