okay...so I didn't even use any ecb!!!!

I made the following purchase today:

(2) Infusium Hair products $13.58
(3) Pantene Items $12.00
(3) Sunsilk hair products $13.47
(2) Samy Hair Sprays $6.00

Subtotal $45.05

okay...keep in mind that when I calculated this at home the Samy Hair products were priced $5.99 with 50% off the second one...which before the 50% discount would have made my total around $51.03 (before the 50% was taken off at the end).

So to continue with my story...

I glanced at the screen before my coupons and I think it was around $48 with tax....CRAP...i quickly grabbed two packs of gum to add to get it over $50..but he continued with my coupons... so i figured he would add them later...

-$10/$50 cvs coupon
-$5/$30 cvs coupon
-$4/$20 cvs coupon

-$5 on 3 pantene mfg coupon
-$4 BOGOF pantene mfg coupon (register didn't beep)
-$2 Samy Hair product mfg coupon
-$2 Sunsilk Product mfg coupon
-$2 Sunsilk Product mfg coupon
-$1 Sunsilk Product mfg coupon
-$4.49 free sunsilk product (cvs B2G1F promo)
-$6.79 BOGOF Infusium product

TOTAL OOP $.23

The register only beeped with two sunsilk coupons (it shouldn't have because the cvs free promotion wasn't taken off until the very end)...so the cashier manually entered them. He forgot to add the gum that i added to get it over $50, but I just told him I would get it next time because he was done with the transaction by the time he realized.

and I received the following ecb:

$2 ecb for pantene
$3/$15 purchase
$5/$15 cvs brand purchase
$5/$15 Life Fitness Vitamin purchase
$1/any johnson and johnson first aid kit
$1/any nivea visage Q10 item
$3/Revlon colorist hair color
$1/new irish spring body wash
$4/nature made cholest-off

HOLY COW

Good job, girl..

If you're ever in Missouri, swing by and pick me up - I wanna see how this is done! LOL Good job girl!

WOW WTG!!Don't forget the CVS vitamins B1G1F you could do great things with that cvs 5/15 off their brand!!

Thats great!!

okay...so i'm new at this, i have been reading you guys for acouple of days and just wonder how well you guys do buying a whole lot for just cents.....so tell me can you use the -10/50, -5/30, and -4/20 all at the same time? I'm confused. and one more question...on the target coupons can i use the ones that say " target coupon" and target web coupon with the same transaction.....HELP!!!

unfortunately there is not one magic rule that all stores adhere to. Every store seems to differ in what coupons they wish to accept and at what time. I shop between 3 cvs stores and there is only one person working in one of the stores who refuses to allow me to use multiple cvs coupons. All of the other stores don't have a problem with it. I've even had a manager ring me up several times at one store and I always have $10/$50...$5/$30...$4/$20...and she just cracks up every time she sees my total. I've been told by some that as long as the register does not beep they put through as many coupons as I have. Everyone has had different results...you really just need to to a trial and error at your stores. You can always return the items if they don't allow multiple coupons.

thanks, so i am new at this coupon thing...and just started not to long ago...my husband was sooo happy when i started saving him a couple bucks .....but now that i know i can try couple tricks....whatch out cvs' and the others i am going to try everything that i can.....ohhhh my hubby will be even happier....Haaa!
thaks, I AM ALSO LEARNING!!!!

Wow is right! That is great! I wish my stores would stack the $/$ coupons, but you got a great deal going on!

KMChamp.. you're saying CVS won't stack the $/50, $/30, $/20 etc for you????? Seems most everyone has been able to do that. I have been somewhat leary to try - fear of embarassment. I expect the CVS bubble will burst before too long for AFC shoppers when the CVS heads get wind of the system. Anyway, enjoy shopping this way while you can.

I've been stacking coupons at my CVS, too. I just hand them one at a time. I'm wondering how often I can use them. Can I go twice a day and use those same coupons, once a day or once a week? I'm wondering if there is a limit.
