I had read that another store's sale prices turn on, on Saturdays. Is this the case with CVS as well? This would really help me out with the Duraflame sale.

Thanks,

ymmv, but the two near me turn around 7 pm on saturday. I check it by seeing if any of the ECB tags are under the products on Saturday. Once those are out, then the register is generally turned on for the next day's sale. So on Saturday night, you can usually do two week's sales at the same time.

My CVS manager said it was corprate wide that the computers atuomatically start the sundays ad the Saturday before at 3pm... ?? Not sure, but it works at my CVS!

Yes, anytime between 3pm and 6pm so don't go too early! (based on my experience)

Each store is different. They have to manually turn on the sales themselves in the computer. One store I activates them as soon as they walk in the door at 8am, another around 9am. I like going there to get my shopping done early! Another, they don't activate early at all.

Thank you all so much!

I went today at 11:30 am and the the sales had been activated. Got the duraflame and am really excited about it.

The sale prices are generally activated early, but the ECB deals are only good Mon-Sat.

My ECB's have always printed out, except when they have their 2 or 3 day sales and they will only print on those specific days.

Not quite true. The ECBs will also print out if the store activates the sale early. But, if an item has ECBs as part of a special sale like a "Sun, Mon, Tues Only" sale, those ECBs Will Not print out early if you shop on Saturday (but the sale price will ring up.)

For instance, if your store activates the sale early today and you went to buy the Oral B Pulsar toothbrushes so you could use the B1G1 Free coupon that expires today, you would be able to buy the Pulsars for $5.99 each, use your B1G1 Free coupon, use a $.75 off coupon and then receive a $5 ECB because you purchased $10 worth of the Pulsar products. The $5 ECB would print today.

Which is exactly what I did today

[puddlescyn]

Well we went and they said they didn't have any of the logs in stock yet. The person working said it "must not be cold enough yet." Yeah whatever

So I will call the stores tomorrow before I go - they are quite aways away. I need to get them tomorrow b/c I have 5/25's expiring tomorrow.

I went this morning around 11:00 and they were set. Glad I was able to use some of my coupons before they expired.
