Fair point. LOL

I had meant SD but CVS also is sometimes seeming like they want to drive us away.

I was referring to people who don't count ecbs in their breakdown. So they'll say they spent $5 and earned $20, when if you look at their receipt, they spent $5 out of pocket and spent $40 in ecbs. I don't see it here or on i https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...-heartbeat.gif but people do it on the FB page I follow.

I don't have the new format yet, but there really is no where else I see to go.
I haven't noticed that but I don't do social media. I did notice on YT that people were playing around with the numbers from Wags Days and coming up with some pretty funny "mm" transactions. I include tax in my calculations and I also establish a value for what each item is worth in order to figure out if the deal is worth doing. Value is what I could get for the product if I had to immediately sell it for whatever reason. I don't ever want to be stuck with products that are worthless but of course we all end up doing that. Sometimes I'll come home and I can't get in the front door because there's too much stuff so I have to get rid of it. It's a lot better to have Tide than Covergirl or Axe in that situation lol.

I feel that very strongly with CVS. I wonder if things would be different if that memo hadn't been leaked. What blew my mind was how much hatred that some CVS employees have for their customers on the reddit threads. They definitely need a new job. If the highlight of your day is to report somebody for also shopping for her mom you need to do something else.

Why do you think that people don't post very much on here these days? Are they going someplace else like to FB groups? Are they worried that people will steal their deals and make money off of them on YT? Maybe they think that the drugstores are watching what is said on here. I've always thought that myself but it would be pointless these days. Or maybe everything is done by pm. On a tough week it was good to come on here and get some ideas. The percentage of deals that actually work is much greater here than anywhere else that I know of. I'm not saying that the YT deals are all bad but they usually get killed right away or the person posting it doesn't understand the deal themselves lol.

One of the reasons I am not doing much at CVS is that I am getting the same crappy weekly CRTs every week. I do get $3/$10 Neutrogena which I will pair with the $3 DQ this week to get $5 ECB wyb 2. I am also doing L'oreal Elvive and COver Girl, but that is it!

My card has been zombied for over a year now, I think it has changed CRTs maybe three times? But I used to get some that didn't have a spend amount, just $3 off Hallmark, or $1 off CVs bottled water. Now most of them have a high spend amount, like $6/$30 Colgate so i very rarely can use them.

I don't think CVS has as many people attempting to make good on their deals using coupons. Less people trying equals less talk everywhere, so that's one thing.

I think there are some things that are posted here that are skipped over, based on the lack of discussion/response to some of the things I've seen posted here or posted myself.

Many people are super unappreciative. There's more than one person active in the CVS threads who has messaged me many times asking questions about deals, how coupons work, etc. I don't think they have EVER repped me, and seldom do they ever even say thank you. That sure does turn me off to offer help, even though I stupidly keep doing so.

The 400 stores that have the two week ad & the crummy CRTs we're all trying to work with play into it. And the differing availability and usage of manufacturer coupons, digital coupons and rebate programs makes the experience different for us all.

I don't watch the YT videos, so I can't speak to what they're doing or not doing.

And just as a point of reference, look at the Rite Aid and WG threads here. WG has been one thread for everything for the last two years now. Divide out the 2905 (as of this moment) comments there by 24 months and that's an average of 121 posts a month. According to you, Rite Aid has awesome deals, but if you go back and look at the Rite Aid threads, there have been less than 25 posts in most weeks.

Sadly, what I don't think the powers that be at SD realize, much of what is happening here is hanging on by a thread. It's only time before we'll know if the change from classic to redesign will lead the few of us that are here away - whether that's to somewhere else, or to just do our own thing.

I have been successful in rolling every week three cards at CVS for many, many years. Without the xx/xx like 10/70, 20/80 I doubt I could continue. CASH was a boon while it lasted. At least with two cards I can do ASH by using one receipt for each. Same stuff over and over again until...that one thing that you are so happy you finally got for a great price or free.

Is it getting tougher, definitely. I spend way too much time looking for deals. I spend more time at erica's site as for a while the pictures of their haul or clearance items really helped. Hate the discus format. I am fortunate that at the moment I can still use old format here.

I do find the folks still here are the kindest folks. Many of the snarky ones have moved elsewhere.

IG'ers make sooo many mistakes they are a last resort. A few YTers are good sources of info but watching instead of reading a nice list takes too much time.

We adapt if we want to stay playing this game. At least for me, it is a game.I know some here it makes a difference in their lifestyles. We all go through the ups and downs with our finances as life shoves us around.

I do want to thank those I cannot rep cuz I haven't spread things around enough mainly cuz it takes so long to get enough variety anymore too.

Just my two cents worth tonight. I probably could share more here but some of you hang elsewhere too and time to do so doesn't always present itself. It really is the thrill of the hunt and mostly the highs outnumber the lows still so I'll keep playing at least for a little while.

For CG this week, since it is not tiered, can split it in two transactions? So buy one 7.29 item today and use $4 crt and $3mq and if I find two more coupons do the rest then? This way if I dont get my hand on more coupons, my oop would be still low .29 plus tax. Should work?
Have one of those 20% saying earn a ❤ so want to use that , today being last day😏

I was thinking today about why I'm so upset with CVS. The first reason isn't even CVS's fault. Crest and Colgate stopped putting out paper coupons. I still get toothpaste crt's on my non-digital cards but without the paper q's there's no deal.

I went over my paperwork this evening and I realized that I had a $10 ecb expiring today on 2 cards so I ran over to CVS and did the Crest deal and I was in & out in less than 5 minutes. If I had the expiring ecb's on my non-digital cards I'd still be there trying to figure out what to buy. The only reason that I was using the non-digital cards was for Covergirl and Tide. I'd use the Covergirl mm to get Tide for free and it was great while it lasted. There was also magic on my non-digital cards that started early in the year and continued until 2 weeks ago. If I used YT math my Covergirl deals were $30 mm's lol. Now it makes no sense to have non-digital cards.

I'm not happy with the CEO. She wants to turn CVS into an insurance company rather than a retail store. It's her right to do that but she won't make very many friends especially with the people who have been loyal CVS shoppers since they opened out here.

I hate the Wags thread. It should be every week. There are certainly enough deals now to justify it. Wags is confusing enough without having a gigantic thread for the whole year or longer. I realize that I don't post any deals on the Wags thread (because I can't seem to grasp their system) so I don't have the right to complain about it.

I don't understand the lack of interest in the RA thread. Next week we're getting a 15/50 Bonus Cash coupon in addition to the 13/50 cat that printed today. That's a $28 savings on a $50 order before you start filling your cart with items. Listerine is 6/12 with a limit of 2 (and $1.50 Listerine cats have been printing for the last 2 weeks). There's also a 10/30 P&G deal. I mean, how much better does it have to be? Actually, I'll answer that. You've got the Bonus Cash Challenge (which can be substantial), $2 for every 1000 points earned, and any rebates that you might get. On the last round of BCC's, I was getting paid $10 for visiting the store twice over a 2 month period. BCC's on some items can be $20. That $2 for the points can really add up. My cards always have $2 more on them than I think they do. Bonus Cash pays sales tax so no oop transactions are a reality. You only have to use the amount of Bonus Cash that you want to spend. You don't need fillers unless you're short of a threshold. At CVS, if you have a $5 ecb you have to spend the whole amount otherwise you lose what you don't spend. That's a huge difference. I waste so much time at CVS looking for fillers.

You can split the deal and still earn the EB if you go back.

Thanks. I came to report just that. I tried with a 5.99 item but there was nothing left for 20% to attach to. Didnt think of that, got a 6.29 eye pallet of 3 colors, digital wont apply. Tried with different color , scanned in app this time and it applied. Same item just different color! Then realized all this hurry to do deal today so 20% would get used, the one expiring today was already gone as it was past 7pm and the one that was applying was expiring 9/19 .haah anyway, my cvs trips seem to never go smooth even when I do all math before.
I wish there was an option to see in store price online. Deals seem to fall apart these days with all the price hikes in store vs online prices. El vive was 5.99 Frown

CVS is the only store i really still coupon at. Yes, deals have gotten worse but there are still deals. Thanks to $/$$ crts and emailed coupons and occasional random emailed item specific coupons I've been doing $80 or $100 transactions on 4 cards each week. I gotta say, my store is the best. I know what I'm doing, I'm always nice to them and they're always willing to work with me.
I do watch one IG/youtuber (crazydealsandsteals) and check IG cuz often someone will post a deal i missed or unadvertised deal. I do spend time to do my homework obviously before going to the store. I don't post deals as much here cuz like momma, it bothers me when people are unappreciative. Not that i need a "thanks" or a rep but at least i see that my post helped, otherwise, what's the point of even posting.

Ps, wags has a really nice deal on charmin and scott this week. I had some leftover cash from buying 90% summer so i didn't have much oop

In the activate rewards rebate (ended 9/3) scenario I went for $10 rebate by adding Desitin 10.49 which had 1 dq and 2 ecb back to 3 Neutro cleansers, so total over $30. But got only $5 reward. Sent them an e-mail and got back after 5 days: Hello xxx We have provided an additional $5. xxxxxxxxxxxx. I haven't redeemed the original $5, so went to redeem it hoping it changed to $10, but no, still $5.

So, just 12 digit code and no link. Any idea what to do with it to get the additional $5? PM if you'd like.

I see bogo 50% and $1 off for scott. Would you please share? I have a $5 reward for 2x $10 transaction and a $7 for $20 or 25. And a $5 for $1+. So have been thinking to stopby. I doubt 90% will be there, tried in another store last weekend, nothing was left, all Halloween. Wasn't quick enough to drag myself out the door😒
