notes:
it's been quite a while since i've shopped like this @ cvs!

if you have the starbucks coupons be sure to scan the chocolate at your store. if they haven't marked them clearance, there's a better chance they still have some left! it wasn't marked at this store.

looked for the 1 oz neutrogena but didn't find any.


my revlons coupons did not beep! i grabbed the first polishes i saw from a display of "new" colors. now that i compare barcodes, i can see why these did not beep. if you look at the barcode on the pink polish on the left (which i bought today) you can see that the "company prefix" is 0997 and matches up with the 00997 on the coupon. the clear polish on the left is has a short barcode and does not match up with the coupon at all. so if you can find them at your store, the nail polish with the 1st barcode style will give you less hassle at the register.

i expected the roc to be $6.99 - $3 off sale = $3.99 like last time, but i guess the price went up. glad i only ended up getting one! (because they only had one left.)

notes:
the aveeno cleansing pads i bought did not count towards the aveeno eb deal. there have been some reports that they work and some reports that they do not.

i think there are 2 types of aveeno positively ageless pads, the one i bought (beige/copper lid - upc 3 8137-101053 0), and one with a green lid (not to be confused with the "positively radiant" cleansing pads, which also have a green lid). it may only be the "positively ageless" green lids that are working now.

if i can figure out and find the correct ones, i will attempt an exchange. that would make the new cost $2.21 if i receive the $10 eb.

as far as the tresemme coupons, they scanned for me earlier today but not this time. (printed the same way) however, from what i could tell - my boyfriend's scanned through on another register at this store. i asked him whether his coupons beeped, but he wasn't sure because he "was thinking about dinner." :)

same goes for using the $10/$50 and $4/$20 beauty on one $50 purchase. we know that the registers in some areas will not accept more than one $/$$ coupon, regardless of the amount of purchase. they were both accepted, but whether the cashier had to push it through or not, i cannot be sure...

update 5/9:
i had read that the aveeno positively ageless pads had been reprogrammed in the system to generate eb. also this shelf sign reads "any aveeno skin care":

so i had emailed cvs thinking they would issue me the extra bucks, but i never received any response from them. since today was the last day of the deal, i planned to show the cashier the sign and ask for the $10 eb to be printed. but the store i went to did not have these signs posted, so i just returned the aveeno for $29.30 on a cvs moneycard.

oh and you may remember, i tried to return this stuff for an exchange before and the manager refused because i didn't have my boyfriend's amex with me. this store returned the full credit to the moneycard even though we offered the credit card!

so... cost of both transactions combined: $12.21 - $29.30 refund to moneycard = $17.09 profit ♥
