I was really happy with my trip this week. The FREE pads could not have come at a better time... not that I am having a baby in a few weeks or anything!
My Total out of pocket was: $18.48
Total Saved: $84.77
Left with $10 in ECB's for next week!
Getting back with rebates: A gift pack from Stayfree and $10 from Aveeno!
So basically they paid me $1.50 to walk out of the store with all this. Hehehe, if you want to look at it that way! That is what my husband calls my "coupon math"!

4 $1.50 Aveeno Printable coupons
1 $10 ECB from last weeks diaper deal

Got back $10 ECB
Submit for $10 Rebate ( HUGE money maker!)

Used:
1 M&M B1G1 Free coupon from todays RP
5 Stayfree B1G1 Free coupons from todays RP

** Had I not gotten the gum my total would have been $0. This usually FREAKS the cashiers out so I always like to add something to make my total NOT $0!

I went to the CVS at the following location:
1325 FM 1960 WEST
HOUSTON, TX 77090
Phone: 281-444-4582
I tried to purchase 6 Stayfree items, 2 Oust items, & 2 Windex Multi-Surface items. However the woman at the counter would not let me combine the Buy 1 get 1 free Stayfree coupons with the $2 off Stayfree coupons. Then she talked to what I assume was her manager. The clerk came back and again would not let me use the coupons. I left everything on the counter and went to the CVS at the following location:
Store # 5838 3140 FM 1960 WEST
HOUSTON, TX 77068
Phone: 281-880-1092
I purchased everything I mentioned above with no problems. I used all of my coupons and paid $0 for my entire purchase.

I am glad that you found one that will do it for you!
You will notice I didn't try and use the $2 ones in my purchase, I knew that it would cause a problem and already was getting them free so i didn't want to press my luck :)
I have better luck with those type of deals at the grocery store and not CVS.
Good for you to not get too frustrated!
I just want to tell you I think Rush is the cutest kid ever! Good luck with your up coming delivery.
Any problems with the limit 6 of Stay Free in the ad? Does your card keep track of that? Or can you go in a couple of times to get the amount you want? I wasn't sure if it was per visit or per card. Thanks!

katie, do you know I didn't even notice the limit until you said something! So I guess they don't keep track it is up to the cashier to limit it. I just made sure they had a bunch and they did. Thanks for pointing that out.
I was not allowed to use my B1G1 I have done it before but not today
Man, we didn't get the stay free BOGO coupon :-(
Good shopping trip though! Way to go!
I must tell you about my incredibly disappointing trip to CVS this evening. I went in with the intention of purchasing 6 bags of StayFree pads (3 BOGO manufacturer coupons) and six bags of Pretzel M&Ms (3 BOGO manufacturer coupons) and the cashier and shift manager would not allow me to use the manufacturer coupon on top of the store coupon. I was incredibly irritated because I'm expecting and was stoked to get the deal on the Stayfree. Also because I'm pregnant I was even twice as stoked about the free M&Ms. I even pulled out the coupon policy and they still wouldn't budge. I couldn't believe it. Please make the manager at: 6210 Main Street, Downers Grove, IL - (630) 968-3276 aware of the MAJOR ERROR on his part!!
Ok, I'm done with the pregnant rant. Will try my luck at a different location tomorrow.
