My yardsale was a bust. No customers. One person did come by at the last minute as I was packing it up. Large humungous mouthwash that should probably go for $2.50-$3.50 they wanted for a $1, so I had to give it to them for that and I had two of them so $2 for the both of them. A small mouthwash should probably be $1. I haven't had a yardsale in several years.
Just buy the 84oz Tide. Everything else is a waste of your time. Mouthwash is a very tough sale unless it's Listerine. Very few people like Scope so if that's what you had it's probably going to sit there no matter how busy you are. The going price on Tide is $10 and you'll have people lined up to buy it. I can't explain why Tide is so hot but it is and it shows no signs of slowing down. Don't get the smaller sizes. Nobody wants those. 84oz and up. Even P&G reducing the amount of Tide in the bottle hasn't slowed things down. Seriously, just buy Tide. Everything else that the store carries is just a means to get Tide cheaper like as part of a Flash Deal.

The only mouthwash I had were those 2 large Scopes. That guy wanted Gillette Fusion razors 2 for $5, my price $4 each. Said no to that. For some reason I rarely do those household deals, I'll keep that in mind. I did have at least a couple of extra Tides just sitting here that I didn't bring to the yardsale. Oh well

Fusion is hot, too. I'm hoping to stock up with the $3 insert q's. There's no way in hell that I would let a Fusion go for less than $4. When you need one, you aren't going to be able to buy it for $4 so why should you give it to some random guy at 2 for $5? If it doesn't sell, keep it. It's not like razors expire or he'll be able to find a better price.

Will this work?
(36) M&M theater sized 4/$4, 36
Less (18) $1/2 SQ
Pay 18
Get: 6 WC (digital spend 30/6), 7 WC (paper 35/7) and (2) 1000fetch (spend$8/1000).
- I rarely do paper & digital boosters. Even if I use a store Q, the $36 will count towards 35/7?

Does your store have 36? I went in for Skittles on Friday and they were out of the sale candy.

I should've jumped on this. I love Skittles. I would've been happy with M&M's but they were out of everything. The guy said that in-store p/u orders were wiping them out.

No, store coupons don't count toward spend threshold.

Thank you! I wasn't sure about that & another buddy told me, I'd have to continue going up up for the WC to credit.

Moving this over from the coupon printing thread to keep OT out of that thread.

Quote from z390z View quoted comment :
A lot of coupons reset on CDC and no one is reporting the resets except me once again.
gardengal's script does not see the resets, so we have to rely on reports from other users.
Keep in mind, many of us who were using them at CVS have cut back worrying about ips because it's almost impossible to adequately use them without an ordeal. I hardly ever see anyone post in many of the other store's threads anymore, and when there are posts, it's almost never about deals with ips.

Regarding reps, I agree with some of the other comments, there are so few posts lately, and even fewer that have information of value to most, that it can be hard to have a rep available for someone when their information is helpful.

One more thing about reps, I have noticed very few people in the Drugstore forum have been offering reps for quite awhile now, even when I thought what I shared was helpful.. I recently ventured out into other SD forums looking for things when I reduced my CVS shopping. I was surprised at all the reps I got just for providing my opinion and past experience.

I don't know exactly when not giving a rep became a thing. But it suddenly occurred. A lot of people were chased off SD for a variety of reasons, one of which was some very serious bullying. The anonymity factor plays a part. Some posters forget that civility is of utmost importance whether one is know or anonymous. Blog sites, instagram and other social media sites have garnered lots of followers. The accuracy of some people is not good; some are dishonesty in its prime. SD for the most part has been a community driven place--people posting things that they actually have done, found, or experienced. It's too bad more people aren't on here any longer.

It's that time again for my worst commercials of the week list. First place has to be Domino's. I was so glad when the 50% off commercial ended last week but then we got the mac & cheese commercial this week which is even worse. The girl who reads the commercial drives me crazy. She's talking about Domino's like it's the best sex she's ever had. She has to go. 2nd place has got be Wendy's. That crazy lady has got to go. Maybe both of them can carpool home and get hit by a train. Any commercial with the Kelsey's or a buffalo belongs on the list. One commercial has a Kelsey, the buffalo, and Jimmy. Aren't we lucky? Last, but certainly not least, is Wegovy. I wish the guy who lost the weight would go hug a bear. The only thing that could make the Wegovy commercial worse is if they hired the Domino's girl. On 2nd thought, Wendy's has got to be #1. They're advertising $1 sodas and then making you feel bad about drinking them. That's something that CVS would do.

I got a 5/30 email coupon from CVS this morning. It wasn't a flash deal or anything like that. I was shocked. Maybe CVS finally listened to me. I tried the new $3 Gillette razor/blades mq on the Fusion 4-pack and it was a beeper. My store gave me $3 ecb's in place of the mq. The Gillette deal this week is killer. It works out to $4.50 a 4-pack.

I tried posting something on a different thread. It printed the post I quoted 4 times and then deleted half of my post. I tried fixing it but it didn't work. Also, there's a huge delay from when I type something on my keyboard and it shows up on the page. It's been like this for a couple of days now.

I want to reply to Lakebreeze but I don't want to go thru the multiple quotes again. The quickest way to kill a deal is to post it on SD. For some reason, the company spies all hang out here. A recent example is a deal from last week that was killed a few hours after posting even though it was in the wrong thread. I feel like there are consequences to everything I post in a certain thread. I'll say that I can do something and the next day it will be blocked. Posting on here can be like shooting yourself in the foot.

I wish that more people would post in chat. I try to start conversations but only a few people ever reply. I now post for myself and figure that nobody else is going to read it. As for reps, I never get any. I try to be funny and make people laugh but I guess that I'm awful at it.

Spread the Love is a bunch of crap IMO. There aren't that many deals that I'm interested in that are posted that I don't run into the share the love warning for reps.
