I just seen $1 off and the picture matched my tooth brush so I used 4 of those coupons on 4 toothbrushes. And everyone of them scanned through just fine. This must be one of those cases where the coupons says to buy 2 but must not be coded that way and the print on the coupon is so fine that I didnt even see that part. So I actually got all 4 toothbrushes for free

Inspired by Queenie31rk, I decided to do the Oral-B toothbrush deal. I thought, like everyone else, that there must be some mistake and I'd better take advantage of it before it's caught.

Then I looked at the coupon. It IS confusing, and I spent probably fifteen minutes looking at toothbrushes in CVS trying to decide which ones to buy.

Here is what the coupon says:

So the coupon only requires two items if you are buying the plain Advantage brush, the Indicator brush, or Oral-B floss. For the other products mentioned, the coupon works on one.

For the ECB deal, the ad just says "advantage toothbrush". The toothbrush it has pictured (you have to look closely) is the Advantage Breath Refresh (the kind with the tongue scraper thing on the head). So we can assume that the deal works on any Oral-B toothbrush that is in the Advantage line (says Advantage on the package and includes Advantage Plus and probably others), while the coupon will work on Advantage Breath Refresh, Advantage Arctica, and Advantage Glide if purchased singly and the regular Advantage if you buy two.

Confused yet?

The ECB deal has a limit of 5 per card. So I bought:

2 Oral-B Advantage Breath Refresh
3 Oral-B Advantage Artica (that spelling annoys me)
(regular price for both $3.49 -- I think -- sale price was not marked, but I had the ad in hand in case of emergency)

I got back a $10 ECB and used 5 $1 off coupons. Post coupon price was $1.99 per. So these are FREE AFTER ECB & COUPONS. (Actually, a moneymaker!!)

I did not try the Advantage Plus or any other Advantage (I didn't see Advantage Glide, will look tomorrow) as they weren't listed on the coupon, though if someone has please report back.
