Finally lol, the reddit sub of employees was saying it might not go to 75 since the 50% was supposed to last the rest of august and then get sent back.

Just went to a few stores and got a bunch of the dog soccer balls for $2.5 each, my dog loves the one I already got him so good to have other ones ready to go when he inevitably destroys them lol. but yeah one i went to did not have much out, just a small table of shirts. but the others still had a bunch of tumblers, hats and other stuff.
I saw those dog soccer balls. I don't have a dog (I live in an apartment) but I know 2 dogs it would be perfect for. Thanks for the idea!

re: GC deal 15ecb wys $50
The ad lists some stores and says "other participating brands"
but my stores never hang tags

I've had good experiences searching with Google - which now has AI help.
So I asked it about "other brands"

Participating Brands
Vudu / Fandango at Home
Under Armour
Focus Brands (select participating mall and fast-casual food eateries)

then I asked what Focus Brands includes:
Auntie Anne's
Cinnabon
Jamba
Moe's southwest Gril
lMcAlister's Deli
Schlotzsky's
Carvel


I don't like using AI b/c of all the energy it requires (although I once asked the Google AI and was told it's not as intensive as something like ChatGPT), so maybe sharing this here helps justify .it.

Thank you for mentioning Google. I had a nice chat with Gemini and for what I'd use it for (helping to find a good show on Netflix and a few medical questions) I don't need a Google account and it's free. Since Copilot and ChatGPT are now requiring an account to use them and want to charge me a fee, Gemini is a much better option. Copilot and ChatGPT have a huge weakness when it comes to deals at CVS. They can't ever get the week right. If I ask them what I should buy this week, they'll give me a deal from March. Hopefully, Gemini can do a better job.

Edit: I spoke too soon. Gemini wants to make me log in. Well, it was fun while it lasted. I'm not going to sign up for a service that can't even get the day right...

I went to cvs yesterday, after a long time. Finally, the registers are updated ti the new ones.
Found a clearance L'Oréal cream and when checked out, $5 ECB printed, which is new for me.
Any tips and tricks while shopping at the new registers?

Thank you. Can we get a picture of the cream or its name and upc ?

Some tips and tricks for new registers

Yes, clearance USUALLY works for ecb
If the face value of a DQ or PQ is more than the value of an item, then it adjusts down to make the item free instead of being rejected on the old system
Spend $X Ecbs still print at 98% of X, but crts need 100% of X
Digital coupons detach and re-attach after each Total, this is only relevant in rare situations when multiple dqs can attach to the same item.
If you have digital only Ecbs from an online order or from checking out on the old system and using Almost e-mail and print option then it would change expiration date on all of them to today plus 30 days. And the same for a fresh transaction. On the plus side you won't lose them by forgetting to send them to card within 1 week, on the minus side you won't have 1 week extension of the expiration date.

The hard thing is that when the cashier checks the clearance item with the Zebra it won't show as earning EB so it's always a leap of faith.

Thank you so much for all the info. I can't seem to attach an image to my message. But here is the product link. It was 6.xx and $5 coupon worked on it.

A month but that's only 2 ad cycles and you can miss the deal you want because the coupon you need didn't reset. It was much better with a 1 week ad and coupon resets every week. CVS needs to change things up and put different things on sale. They've run the same ad for 5 years now.

Rite Aid used to have Plenti and the rewards were good for 2 years. Those were the days...

When you have a CVS ad like this one, yes, it definitely is. I can't think of anything to buy for the next 2 weeks. I didn't get any CG coupons for this ad. Maybe I was supposed to clip them last week but buying things I don't want like CG is the thing I hate most about shopping at CVS. Fortunately, I don't need to roll anything but if the ad in 2 weeks isn't good then it could be trouble.
