    Also important to note that they give you a card to attach to your reusable bag. They scan it each time you come in (once per day) and every fourth trip you get $1 off your purchase!! That's .25cents each time you shop!! Amazing & I love you Jenny!!!

    Ty this was a wonderful video. I also coupon at CVS more than any other store and I love it. One thing I think you didn't mention at least I didn't notice. Is that you need to check the sales flyer on the limit of items and how many extra bucks you get! If it says two items your only getting extra bucks on those two items after that you can still purchase more of the item but you wont get any more extra bucks for it. Ty so much for the great video.

    @galecrafts 12 лет назад

    I just started couponing at CVS & yesterday when I was checking out using my CVS Care card "A", they would only let me use the ECB that were printed from using that card "A", not all of my ECB. My husband has a card as well & gave me his ECB that he got, but they told me I could not use them on this transaction because they were generated from another card. I told them my hubby gave them to me & they said no, he could only use them using his card. Please explain...

  • @Chris28456
    @Chris28456 12 лет назад

    @galecrafts Basically each coupon is attached to the card it was printed using if you look at a coupon from card "a" it will have the last 4 digits of the cvs card on it. Technically you should only have one cvs card per household, but next time use his phone number or his cvs card if you'd like to use his coupon, but no policy abiding store would allow using coupons from another cvs card...not suppose to at least. I'll admit i have done in several cases though.

  • @marcynino2
    @marcynino2 11 лет назад

    Ok so the times i been to the store they just ask if i have a card. Mind you they dont give me the coupon for the bucks. Cvs and walgreens. What do i have to tell them to let them know that i know i will get a care buck?

  • @godlovesjennifer777
    @godlovesjennifer777 13 лет назад

    Hi, I've been couponing now since September, but you just said something that I don't understand. Why is the BOGO better at drug stores than the grocery stores because of how they ring up? Why does it matter if it rings up 50% off or full price for one and free for the other? Will you please give me more details on this? Thanks.

  • @ESBEAUTII
    @ESBEAUTII 13 лет назад

    None of the CVS' that I have been to in MICHIGAN have coupon Centers lol.But thanks soooo much for explaining the bogo because when someone told me that using a bogo coupon along with a bogo sale that both are FREE I was confused. Currently walgreens has that kind of deal going on and their coupon policy allows that transaction! :-)

  • @sandraand6690
    @sandraand6690 8 лет назад

    @Southern Savers Good morning, been watching a few of your videos last night and I have a question? In the (Rite Aid's May 8-14) sales paper they have a BOGO on Shea Moisture Hair Care and or Bath product. Ok so they're BOGO free, I have (4) coupons @ $2.00 off each product. would it be to my advantage to just purchase (4) of the items and get $4.00 off (2), or buy (8) of them and get @2.00 off each item? Did you say in the video , if you have a coupon for a BOGO you can still use a coupon for the free item, because the Manufacture still recognize the free item as a purchase? or am I mistaken? if so I apologize. I'm soooooo confused as to what to do with this great deal help!!!!!!!!!! (Same scenario) different item. Also, they have in the same (May 8-14) sales paper. Nivea Body Wash BOGO free. I have (2) coupons @ 3.00 off of (2) Nivea Body Wash. How would this coupon work would it just deduct $6.00 from @4 item? Thank you for you quick response.

    • @southernsavers
      @southernsavers  8 лет назад

      +sandraand6690 Rite Aid and Walgreens are the only two stores that do not allow coupons on the free items. So you’ll buy 2 (or 4) but can only use 1 or 2 coupons on the items that are not free.

    • @sandraand6690
      @sandraand6690 8 лет назад

      +Southern Savers Thank you for getting back to me. I decided not to use them because the items were too expensive, so I purchased the Nivea's body wash instead. Thank you for your response.

  • @yajhairaperez8210
    @yajhairaperez8210 4 года назад

    When people hear “write down” and “collect your coupons” it means people doing work. Where do I get it? What am I supposed to write down, how do I know this will work?
    Ive been couponing since late March (cuz of COVID 19 virus) and it was tough!
    I ended up making lots of mistakes, but kept pursuing, started with “something” we usually buy and worked my way up.
    I hope somebody reads this because I’m 24, jobless, and changing careers every time I finally figured what I wanted but I change my mind because it was too damn hard or I lost interest.
    So I started late March at Walgreens (it’s still complicated to me) went to CVS and because most deals are digital it was easier! (You still need paper coupons though, I haven’t gotten to printing)
    I went through storming CVS and Walgreens for 1hour or two in the beginning (my brain was all scattered trying to do the math WHILE I shop, it was overwhelming) May 12, 2019 sacrificing my first bit on a particular transaction, and receiving my fake store money (aka in CVS Extra Care Bucks).
    After many videos and going to the store, I literally just go in and out ASAP when I have a list. Literally RUclips has people that prepare what’s on special this week and next. Now that I understand the store, I have a system:
    Step 1: Understand the store/coupons
    Step 2: do it (make mistakes.)
    Step 3: watch videos on RUclipsrs (Washing dishes, sweeping and mopping if you want to multitask). The videos are 10-15 mins long
    Step 4: write it down (I don’t like wasting paper, I type it on my iPad notes ICloud) Take my notes to the store with my phone, and buy what’s on my list
    MUST: Find RUclipsr you understand, and speaks your language (BUT after you understand the store. Usually, if the youtuber taught you the store then their weekly videos are beneficial.)
    MUST: Know how many coupons per item. I just got tide pods free. (Store coupon and manufactured).
    MUST: Make mistakes and recognize your mistakes. Trust, once you know where you made a mistake, it’s up to you not to repeat it. (My mistake is forgetting to take out my paper coupon so I ended up paying more than I should that’s why I write “MINUS $2 Tide pods PAPER coupon” on my notes hehe)
    MUST: When doing notes, make sure everything is clipped/written down
    I hope to learn from Rite Aid. It’s seems to be my next best thing.
    Transaction: pay the cashier RECEIVE your receipt!!
    Hint: CVS: Invest in your first transaction, collect ECB, example (small 5/10 Extra Care Bucks) and when you buy, buy the amount of ECB that Equate to the first. Obviously, the rest of the other steps will click.
    Caution: watch what you spend with CASH. Extra Care Bucks are so you DONT Pat real money from you pocket.

  • @Wallymack1
    @Wallymack1 10 лет назад +4

    I bought two right guard body wash for $8. I used a manufacture coupon $2 + in store coupon $1.50 = $4.50+ $.38tax. OOP = $4.88
    I got $4 ECB. SO I got the 2 body wash for $0.88 cent.
    Like you said, go in and buy one thing in your beginners video :)
    Now can I use my $4ecb on the same item? At a different or same cvs?

    • @southernsavers
      @southernsavers  10 лет назад

      Many items at CVS are a limit of 1, so you'll need to pay attention to that deals limit. If the limit is more than one, then yes you can use that ECB to buy more. If not use it to buy other deals, it's just cash good towards most everything you would buy in the store!

    • @TheMissjujubee24

    • @southernsavers
      @southernsavers  5 лет назад

      If you have coupons withe limits on them, you do want to follow those limits. However many times we still have a CVS digital coupon in their app or on their website that you load to your card, so then use one paper coupon and one digital coupon for that deal.

  • @Nyterayven
    @Nyterayven 13 лет назад

    @godlovesjennifer777
    I'm going to do my best to explain it as I understand it... so bear with me. With a BOGO you pay full price for one and get the other, and as you saw at a grocery store you get 50% off each. Since the grocery store could use the coupon on the one you "got for free" anyway you could end up paying the 50% for the original one, rather than getting it for completely free. I hope this makes sense.

  • @EricAkif
    @EricAkif 10 лет назад

    Am I correct to assume that this particular store knew you were going to film there, so they stocked the shelves neatly and made sure that the coupon printing box has not ran out of paper? A real CVS store generally looks like a war zone. In Brooklyn, at least...

      @anangeleyesproduction6004 9 лет назад +1

      You have to use 1 instore coupon ( the one that prints out of the coupon center) and one manufacturer coupon ( 1 from a newpaper or online site) In order to use two coupons on one item.

    @ilovemkakeup173 that's not true. Your coupons do not effect extra buck offers. so if the sale was purchase $10 worth of a certain product and get $5 eb then you could use a $10 coupon pay nothing (sometimes you have to pay the tax) and you's still get the extra bucks.

    There's a cashier like that at my CVS also. She outright lies about what is and isn't on sale and says you have a limit when you don't. She says the register and your extra care card will not let you ring out. I have done it many times with other cashiers there, though. She's just miserable and doesn't want anyone to save money.
