Question in regards to the $2 Instant Coupon for Beauty Club Members? What can it be used on? Can I use on clean and clear or the dove and soap body wash?
I totally didn’t notice the “display all match ups” button…sorry about that. I had a $2/1 printable from a week or two back and got a free mouthwash! Thanks for all you do Josie!! You rock!!!
I have a question, I went this a.m and did the Stayfree deal, but the cashier only took $4.49 off with my bogo, rather than the $6.99 full value of the pads, so they ended up being $2.50 for both- which is still a good deal, but I wasn’t too thrilled since I was expecting free : ( I’m just wondering if anyone else came across that or if I was unlucky with my cashier?
Hello Nat. I had the same issue this morning. You. Have to get the smaller packages that are $4.19 and the coupon will take of the max amount which I believe was $4.49.
Thanks for letting me know that Amani! I was about to ask my sister to pick some up on her card, I’ll be sure to tell her to get the smaller ones then.
I found a great deal! Simple products have a $5.00 ecb when you spend $15.00… Well my cvs had hydrating light moisturizer 4.2 oz on clearance for 3.24. There’s a $3.00 coupon in today’s rp insert. Thought .24 was a steal.. And it’s tracking for the ecb even though it’s clearance. I spent 1.20 on 5 plus tax got $5.00 ecb. Had to do 3 separate transactions though due to the language on the coupon plus I went to 2 diff stores. Good luck the last store this wasn’t marked clearance but I scanned it and it was 3.24
I couldn’t find the Simple products coupons in either RP’s in my L.A. Times papers today. Are they in there or did i somehow over look them? I tried to print some but they say that the coupon program has ended. =/
They were not in my LA Times either, but they were in the RP#2 in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. Lots of good coupons this week, so worth it to purchase extras. I bought 4 so I could take advantage of this ECB. Found 4 of the Light Moisturizers ($3.24) and 1 of the Cleaner ($1.99). $5 ECB printed even though the total was $14.95. So, $ .95 + $1.20 tax = $2.85 MM! These make great gifts.
I went into cvs and got 4 of the Stayfree pads and tried to use 2 of the Stayfree coupons and the cashier told me that i couldn’t use both coupons because that those were the rules and that I had to buy 4 to use the coupon since they were already BOGO. She said that I would have to pay for one to get 3 free. I really didn’t know how to explain to her how y I could use both and I lost my voice with this weather. Can someone please help me ? I still have coupons left and I would still like to use them. TIAA
The store is giving you one free. The one you are “supposed to buy” is being reimbursed to them through the coupon. It is laid out well in CVS’s coupon policy. Print the policy and take it with you to the store. You just got a cashier that doesn’t understand the policy. Gotta love it! Here is the link:
I agree with you-B1G1 sales are very difficult for me to understand when using coupons. How your cashier turned that into B1G3, I still do not understand. Basically when you buy one, you get one from the store for free (w/o coupons). Your coupon from the manufacturer gives you one free when you purchase one (given to you from the store). One is covered by the store, and one is covered by the manufacturer. Here is Josie’s second vlog on the subject-it helps to clear it up very well. HTH! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twnwbSwe6sU
Do an internet search for CVS’s coupon policy. Print it out and take it with you to the store. The policy totally explains that you can use a BOGO coupon with a BOGO sale and get both items for free – paying only tax.
i tried doing the stayfree deal also but my cashier wouldnt even take the cuopon because it was already a bogo deal <_<, did it happen to anyone else ?
I tried the Stayfree deal and the lady wouldn’t take the coupon saying that I am already getting one free. I usually go during the day and the cashier takes all my coupons with no problems but not this lady. They also had 75% Christmas stuff, some candy left but not much, some toys and wrapping paper. Got my son a play BBQ for $5, not great quality but at 3 he doesn’t know the difference.
I found a good deal on the Flinstones vitamins, buy two 150 ct for 17.99 bogo 50% off
Use 2 (2/1 flinstones coupons) and 1 (5/2 flinstone aleeve products) I believe they are from last sunday, pay $17.98 + tax (20.14) and get 6 ecb back for the aleve spend 20 get 6 ecb
Then buy the 50ct flinstone vitamins for 8.49 bogo 50% off and use 2 (2/1 flinstones coupons) and use the 6 ecb you got and pay $2.74 + tax.
Total of about $23 for 400 flinstones vitamins I thought it was a good deal.
indicate my favorite deals!
My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
I could have sworn that numerous people said that the tide deal from last week would be carried over to this week. Did that not happen?
Thats next week. And its for a cvs cash card!!!

Did your ad show the $2 in store coupon and $4 sale price on Listerine??
Yes, it does. It is listed in the match ups directly under “Non ECB deals”
I totally didn’t notice the “display all match ups” button…sorry about that. I had a $2/1 printable from a week or two back and got a free mouthwash! Thanks for all you do Josie!! You rock!!!
Honey Nut Cheerios Coupons (60c on 1) seem to no longer be available at any of the 3 sources.

2 of my papers didn’t have it either (la times) but my others did.
Double checked
they were definitely in my press telegram paper rp insert, but not my la times.

my 1/6 SS only has $1 off Finish.
I thought so too, but found the $2.15 off coupon a little farther back in same insert.
And I now see that you found it too.
delete my last comment! I found it…on a different page! sorry and thanks!
I didn’t get the Stayfree q in the Daily Breeze
I went to my CVS yesterday, and found a lot of stuff from Christmas section 75%off, but not candies, though. Although my son and I had to make three different shopping trips, due to the Finish coupon wording, we got $60 amount for around $3. Yeah~

My CVS cashier ( a man) took my BOGO Stayfree Q no problem after I explained to him how to do it! Stocked up again!
Did the stayfree deal today and it worked, but I had to pay tax on $0.00. Is that correct?
Yes, you still pax tax on free items in California
