Charlene,
I got a quick question on a cvs matchup. I am new to couponing and trying to understand better. Starting 10/28, CVS has a p&g ecb buy $30 get $10 ecb. Olay regenerist and covergirl is part of this deal. I was wondering if Cvs will accept a coupon on a free item. In 10/28 RP we have a free cover girl lipstick wyb Olay regenerist coupon. Is it possible to use $5/2 cover girl items from 9/16 RP if I buy
(1) regenerist $20.99
(2) cover girl lip items – this s boo 50% off and part if the ecb $7.99+$3.99
Total $31.97
Use $5/2 cover girl cosmetics 9/16 RP
Use free cover girl lip item wyb Olay regenerist 10/28 RP
Use $5/1 Olay regenerist 9/30 RP
Pay $31.97-$5-$7.99-$5=$13.98
Get $10 ecb.
Is this possible? Will they accept the $5/2 cover girl coupons when one of the items is free from another coupon?
Jan says
How many cents less can I be from $30 in order for the ecb to still print? I read somewhere on your blog that even if the total is a little less than $30 it will still print. I forgot the percentage. Thanks. Wondering if I can just buy (5) of the detergents
Jan says
The revlonnail clippers are limit 6, which means can I buy 12 in one transaction and get 6*$7 ecb? Can I roll them to buy the next one as well? Will it still print?
Charlene says
Jan,
Yes you can buy the same items again at CVS with no problems and yes the ECB should still print for every 2 you buy.
Charlene says
Hey Jan,
I responded to your email- no you would need 3 Cover Girl lip items to do that transaction.
Here is the rebate I mentioned- you probably already know about this one:

You will be really close to qualifying for that too!
Jan says
Thanks a ton Charlene. I plan to modify my transaction a little bit. Instead of $5/2, am going to use $2.50/1 from 9/16 RP. I want to take advantage of the bogo 50% cover girl offer
(1) Olay regenerist $20.99
(1) cover girl outlast $8.99
(1) cover girl lip perfection $3.99 (from bogo)
Total $33.97
Use (1) free cg lip perfection wyb olay reg 10/28 RP
Use (1) $5/1 Olay reg from 10/28 RP
Use (1) $2.50/1 cg outlast from 9/16 RP
Pay $33.97-$3.99-$5-$2.50
=$22.48
Get $10 ecb. So like paying $12.48 for everything. If it takes $7.99 off the lip perfection, then even better.
Charlene says
Nice! I always spend on good skin care items so that sounds like a good deal to me. Maybe CVS will pony up a good coupon for you. Are you signed up for the beauty club?

Jan says
Another deal idea fr the $30 p&g is
(2) tide $11.98
(1) gain $5.94
(2) cover girl lipstick $5.99+$2.99
(2) Aussie shampoo $5.98
Use (2) $1/1 tide
(1) $1/1 gain
(1) $5/2 cg from 9/16 RP
(1) $1/2 Aussie AND (1) $1/2 Cvs coupon on any shampoo
Pay $31.88-$10 in coupons = $21.88 get $10 back. Like paying $11.88 for (3) laundry detergents, (2) lipsticks and (2) shampoos
Jan says
Yes I am. I couldn’t do the Aussie deal this week since I didn’t have the bogo coupon. I think I will be close to the rebate after this.
Charlene says
Jan,
That is right. I think it is $.94-.99 and it still prints. I might be wrong though and it is .96-.99. You can always try it and then if the darn thing doesn’t print you could go back and get the .99 dawn and it will print out. If I am following you on this, your total would be $29.70 and I don’t think it will print for you with $.30 off.
Karen T. says
Hi Charlene,
I’ve heard that the ECB will print @98%, so it should print with $29.40. HTH
Karen
Charlene says
Really? Ok well for sure try it and let us know how it works Jan! You might get lucky but if not the Dawn is just a few cents more in a second transaction.
Jan says
Thanks Charlene, jus t learnt today that at cvs transactions can be broken to get the $ amount which is awesome for newcomers like me. If we make a mistake, we can still catch up.
Charlene says
Yeah CVS is really the easiest store to get started with. It is my favorite because my brain is terrible with numbers so I can never calculate fast enough for Walgreens and Rite Aid is just so complicated.
franki says
@Jan-love to see newb enthusiasm!
There is also a mail in rebate for $15 back on a $50 total purchase, and you have until the end of the year to finish it.
http://www.olay.com/en-US/Images/offers/Rebate%20Form.pdf
Factoring that in should make your Olay/CG free
If you’re lucky enough to find 12 cheap revlon at one time, I suggest splitting them up. If you buy 2, you get $7 back. If you buy 4, you don’t get 2 $7extrabucks, you get one $14. If you bought all 12 at once, you’d end up with a single $42extrabuck. That is not easy to spend, trust me.
TY for great matchups, Charlene.
98% rule has always worked for me
Jan says
Thanks s much franki. I didn’t realize that I would end up with $42.
Charlene, I have a question. Starting Wednesday, the coupon machine has 20% off coupon. For deals that require $$ amount, it is before or after the 20% off?
Jan says
It also says regular price items, so do the p&g items qualify under this?
Rachel says
Hi, not sure if this is a silly question but i was wondering if i can do the first P&G deal today and get the $10 ECB and then do it again when the deals start again on weds getting another $10 ECB. i know its a limit of one per household just not sure if it re-sets tomorrow. I have a new baby so hoping to stock up on Pampers diapers!!
