Tonight I bought 2 packs of Pampers Cruisers as part of the P&G $20 deal, and figured I would just try my $3 and $2 Feel & Learn coupons. If they didn't work, I had $1's for standard Pampers diapers. Happily surprised to find they worked! I'm sure I've done it at Target too and had forgotten. Anyway, just wanted to share with anyone buying diapers for the P&G deal.

I have been using those for a long time at CVS and I was soooo happy when this past week we got the $3 off ones in the paper.
Plus dont forget to use the free kandoo product coupon to get the free kandoo. It makes for a pretty sweet deal when you need to get to $50 to use a $10/50 coupon.

here is a pretty sweet deal to do tomorrow for those of you that need diapers


31.96 (4 packs of diapers 7.99ea)
17.96 (4 kandoo prod. 4.49 ea) prices may vary so may need more dawn to make up the difference to get to $50
.88 dawn dish soap
---------------------
50.80 total

-10 (10 off 50)
-4 (4 off 20)
-17.96 (free kandoo products coupon)
-12.00 (4 of the $3 pull ups coupon WORKS on diapers too)
- 1 (1 off dawn FOAM also works on regular dawn)

total out of pocket.... $1.86 + tax and you will get $5 back in ecb

or you can use aquafresh as a filler they are on sale for 99cents and there are $1 off coupons making them free....

that's an awesome deal!

[lewisvillegirl]

Thanks for posting. Great Deal! I don't have all the Kandoo coupons, so I might buy some jj products and use a couple $4 JJ as fillers.

I'm still trying to figure all of this out. This is similiar what I got to experience live in front of my face! I don't know how you can manage to get all these coupons and use them like that!

[hmilam]

Where did then Kandoo coupons come from?

But I only paid .24 for all of that stuff at Target. Just remember that you can use a manufacture coupon and a store coupon on one item. I used the $2 man on diapers and the $3 Target wipe/diaper coupon for the same item. Plus because I bought the diapers, I could use the free kandoos and Pamper wipes coupon.

[Kmchamplin]

Kandoo coupon came out in the May P&G insert.

Those coupons are not intended for baby diapers so that makes it coupon fraud. Just because something works (a.k.a doesnt beep due to coding) doesnt make it right. It is because of you that those of us who use coupons correctly get a bad rep and a hard time at stores.

How did you manage getting it so low?
This is the lowest I can manage:
1 Jumbo Pampers 9.50
+1 tub Pampers wipes 2.49
+1 free Kandoo wipes 3.83
=15.82
minus 2.49 for the free pampers wipes, minus 3.83 for the Kandoo wipes, minus 3.00 for the target coupon of pampers and wipes, minus 3.00 for the Pampers manufacturers coupon of Feel n Learns, minus .25 cents for Pampers manufacturers wipes
=3.25 per Jumbo pack
that is as low as I can get it without the $5 off $20 coupon that expired. how can you get it so low? please share. tia!

well, hold on there before you go pointing fingers and accusing people of coupon fraud. We ALL know YMMV. Some cvs will take expireds...some will not...is that coupon fraud??? After all....they are expired coupons. Its up to the store to make that decision. And as a matter of fact the MANAGER checked me out and I asked if I could use those pampers pull up coupons for the pampers diapers. After all they are still basically diapers and the company is still getting their money! And the manager said "if they scan and dont beep then they are fine"

Im not the one that actually puts the barcodes or pics on the coupons. From what the manager told me is that the barcode overrides the pic and the wording on the coupon. If it could not be used then it would have beeped and not let me use the coupon. And that would have been fine but it didnt hurt to ask and my store lets me use them so I do.

Im not a horrible person. Im not out making fake coupons...etc.

As a matter of fact the last Huggies deal they had going on I with my own free will was at wal-mart and heard a lady behind me talking about my huge coupon binder. She had one pack of diapers in her hands and said she wished she could save on diapers like I had just saved on my food. I told her she could and told her about CVS. She put those diapers down and headed to cvs. My cashier told me the lady had 6 kids. The youngest were TWINS and that her husband had died and this lady was trying to raise all the kids by herself. And my cashier thanked me for telling this lady about such a good sale at CVS. But..in my heart I felt a tug to help this lady further. I had given her huggies coupons but felt I needed to do more because "I" knew that "I" could save more with my 10/50 coupons...etc. So I hurried up and put my daughter in the car and we rushed over to help this lady. I found her in CVS and told her I felt like I needed to help her and could get the diapers even cheaper. I ended up buying her 10 yes TEN packs of diapers and barely paid anything after my coupons, 10/50 , 4/20, 3/15 plus the coupons for the diapers.... and anything extra I paid for out of MY pocket so that this lady didnt spend a dime! She thanked me profusely and had told me she was on her last $20 and was trying to make ends meet until friday and got paid. She actually asked me if I was an angel. I said "no, just listening to what my heart told me to do"

The diapers I bought today with the deal posted above. Were NOT for my children they were for a lady whose husband just packed up and left her with a small child. I help out MANY MANY MANY people with my deals from CVS.

That extra $ on my pampers pull-ups coupon vs using my pampers diaper coupon is definately not going to break the bank of "pampers" because they are all still getting their money and the store LETS me in the first place. But it does help my money go further to help other people.

Let's please not get into any arguments over decoding coupons. Everyone has the right to do what they are comfortable with, and we try very hard not to judge people for what they do here. We don't promote decoding on this site, but we aren't the coupon police either.

Way to go Queenie on such a good deed for someone in need!

[Kmchamplin]

I did use the $5 off of $20.

[hbaqueen]

I never said you were a horrible person I just state the truth people who use coupons in a manner other than what it is intended cause problems for everyone. But your logic is way off thats like saying Well yes I stole money from this mans wallet but hes rich anyway and Im going to give it to someone who is poor Im not stealing it for me.
Geesh
I think I will not be spending time on AFC anymore I thought this was a good ethical and fun site but I see it is not.

[Alex's Mommy]

I can no wait to try this deal today. I don't have all of the kandoo coupons(I only have 2) but I do have a few Free Destin Coupons that may make up the difference.

[Kmchamplin]

I know that I will be heading there also since I have ECB's burning in my pocket. I have used up all of my free kandoos though.

[AngieP]

queenie31rk you have a huge heart and it's unfortunate that more people don't take the time out of their busy day to help others out such as you did. Great post!

I have no children and have don't even consider the diaper deals around town. We have a coupon swap at work that I maintain and I always have tons of multiples for baby coupons...i always forward them on to my girlfriend with twins. I know she isn't aware of the way you can use these coupons at cvs so i might rethink the sales next time to help her out. Thanks for the inspiration.

Each store is different with their coupon policy. I went to one of my cvs stores yesterday at lunch time and the cashier wouldn't allow me to use a $10/$50 and a $4/20 together. I think my total was $64 before everything so i couldn't even separate. I went to another cvs store that evening and they gladly took both $10/$50 and the $4/20 coupon. The cashier said as long as the register took them she didn't really care.

I was at Target last week and I had a new cashier who had a manager helping him with my coupons (yep, i picked the wrong line)....anyway the manager told me that soon Target might stop taking the printable coupons because of the fraud. What was most interesting is that she said Target sends all their coupons to Mexico and gets reimbursed so much per pound. So it's not like the companies are even reimbursing the stores sometimes. It's all up to the store as to what they want their policy to be.

[HaileysMom]

Well, I didn't thinK I would have caused a fued over that great deal we got at target. I don't think that it can be considered fraud when the store is taking them. Its ultimately up to the stores that decide if they will take them or not. It's not something to get worked up about. GEESH!

[AngieP]

...i'm with you there Haileysmom! It's completely up to the stores.....coupons really have little to do with the manufacturer these days. Stores know what coupons are coming out in the Sunday papers before everyone else so they usually decide to put those items on sale to get you in. They're the one who wants our business. Heck we can buy pampers at just about any store around, so stores fight for your business...whether its taking expired coupons, multiple coupons or whatever, they want your money to stay with them, not across the street to their competitor.
