bought the Soyjoy to get total up to $20.00+ so I could use the $5/$20 coupon: $5.00 profit.

You might also notice I got some snack size packages of Almonds (products), CVS lotion, and Scotch lint rollers. All these items were free after coupons, except tax. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to use my $5/$20 coupons, and I had some $5/$30 backups, so I got these free-after-coupon items to get my totals up around $30.00 just in case. After the first couple transactions with no trouble using my $5/$20 coupons, I didn't bother anymore.

Melissa said...

That Sacramento Bee online paper that we got the $5/$20 IP for a couple of weeks.

Melissa said...

Oh, or Fresno Bee? Lol, some sort of Bee. Stupid name for a paper anyway. Although still not quite as Stupid as ours: http://www.thepolkfishwrap.com/

LMAO! I guess there's a link on ihearcvs? :)

Melissa said...

Yes. You did get that these expired 1/23, right? Supposedly they don't beep for expiration for a couple weeks after the expiration date, but YMMV if the cashier sees the exp. date.

Also on iheartcvs is some supposedly generic $5/$30, $4/$20, $3/$15 etc. Some people say these beep "not for card" and some say they scan with no problem. I haven't tried them, though (yet):-)
