this is a test ad we had a few of these this year while the rest of the states get the reg. ad. If you look at the other ad scan for this week it is very different meaning they have way better deals then us for this week only.

[lbraendle]

Darn! But...it helps sooo much when I know this ahead so I don't get my hopes up for sales that don't exist here in Michigan...so thanks shakin72 for keeping us updated!!

[MichiganMan]

Thanks for the post, Shakin!

Looks like i better roll those ECB's next week ... best not to wait on this one!

[crosscountrysoccermom]

There is a $1/1 Bumble Bee coupon. Does anyone know if the one on sale for .77 is the right one for the coupon?

[BJB]

Let me just say we must stock up on the aquafresh.99 with $1. coupon free? And the ad for this week has BB tuna BOGO @ $2.29, which .77 is cheaper next week and $1. off coupon is for the pouch I think?

No, it's not the right one. The $1/1 coupon is for the Premium pouches & the cans look like what is on sale.

Shakin72, I hope you're right, that this is the last one of these inferior ads.
Looks like I will have to get a move on things this week, because I have Ecb's expiring soon.

I absolutely understand where you're coming from there, Michigan Man.
I'll be rolling everything necessary to omit shopping at CVS the week of 06/28. That's what I do when they have those crappy ads
I somehow think I'm getting back at them, but for all I know the employees enjoy me not being there with my coupons and extrabucks and low OOP.

I'm sure they do not like me at my fav. Wags. When I came back from vacation I asked the cashier if he missed me, he quite frankly said No and I should go on vacation again
I told him I would try even harder to save money with even more coupons and shop even more often on his shift, so I could do him that favor and save more money to be able to afford a vacation again.

I used my aquafresh q's up already for small MM at Wags. You see I'm pretty two faced I shop CVS and Wags, but CVS is closest to my heart, I mean wallet.

I was thinking about the bogo diapers and using a $2 off $10 cvs brand coupon...decent for diapers.

[lynda03]

As an MI girl, I will be so glad when they stop this madness! I can't believe that there are no good deals! I'm not going to know what to do with my free time since I won't be hitting CVS this week!!!

Thanks for the heads up!

[miralys]

I have to figure out what they are trying to learn from these test ads, but I never shop during those weeks. I use up whatever ECBs are expiring the week before and sit out the test week. I figure that is the only way of showing my irritation with these ads to corporate. Thanks for letting me know this is coming up again.

[shakin72]

with the first few they saw a 10% increase in sales which they are not seeing now, plus all the mgrs are screaming cause the stores are getting stuck with the mountains and mountains of product they send in for these ads.

HEY ALL MICHIGAN CVS-ERS!!

So I live right near Detroit, SouthEast Michigan, land of the worst economy in the country.

I went into CVS this evening, to finish up my SoyJoy purchases. I picked up a flyer as I walked in the door, and a strange calmness, and inner-peace actually, came over me. I was looking at next week's flyer (6/28) ... AND IT WASN'T THE CRUMMY ONE!! IT WAS THE FULL-ON AD. It had the cosmetics ECB deals in it (including the 2-day one). It had the Propel/Gatorade ECB deal in it. It had the Brawny, and the Coppertone, and the SpeedStick, and the Sunglasses ECB deals.

In short, it looked like this, and not like this.

So don't give up home, check it out for yourselves!!

[num1flygirl69]

I too live in the metro Detroit area and it looks like MichiganMan is right at least as far as metro Detroit goes. I haven't went to the store yet as I wasn't going to even bother going this week, but after reading his post I pulled up the ad using my zip code and we too have the normal ad. Guess they decided the test ads were crappy

Thanks MichiganMan for the heads up!!

[pushfrog]

I was just coming on to post about this. I live in FL (I'm in the panhandle) and the ad online for my local store is NOT the crummy one either! Hooray!!

[laddcocoa]

I live in Orlando, Fl and I got the crappy ad in the mail and in todays newspaper. It is also on cvs.com with my zip. BOO HOO Maybe cvs doesn't like central Fl.

[emarismom]

They don't like south Florida either! We dont get any good deals like double coupons, x/xx @ grocery stores, etc. Maybe I need to move!

[Cuponqueeny]

Is it Sunday yet? I'm ready for a good ad
