Thanks for the insight, Lexa. Will here. I'm a guy who shops for all of my friends (female) and my sisters. I've been couponing for a few years now and I wholeheartedly agree with you that CVS is a great place for a newbie to begin couponing. I have a small, private coupon group that I'm constantly giving pointers and deals to. I'm going to share this video with them so they can gain some additional knowledge and, hopefully, they will subscribe to your channel (just as I have). Peace!

That is what was tripping me up because the CVS coupons also say MFR on them so I assumed they were the same and I couldn't use them together. You are the first person to explain that the STORE coupon can be STACKED/ADDED to the MFR printable coupon! Thank you SO MUCH!

Let me tell, I finally went to CVS, had all the MFR clipped on the app. Went to pay, to tell you the truth I didn't see much of the savings. I can actually find those same items at Walmart for a better retail price and using the coupons I saved much more than what I did at CVS. I'm about to return them all. And maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm a newbie and also a bit slow, so probably I'll wait for another ad. Just wanted to share.

@Sunflowers-Pumpkins Жыл бұрын

The show Extreme Couponing is completely staged. It was taken off the air after real couponers lobbied to shut it down after it promoted coupon fraud and huge amounts that no store would allow in reality. With that said, you can save a lot of money legitimately by doing it correctly and in realistic amounts.

If it’s available to you, Walgreens pickup is where it’s at! That’s pretty much my main form of couponing. You get all the same deals and coupons through the app and can order curbside pickup. AND most prices are actually better on the app than in store. Sometimes it’s a difference of like $3-5/item

@karenmarshall7177 2 жыл бұрын

If you have extra care buck.... do you use it before or after the coupons? Because sometimes it will say you have to spend a certain amount... if I use coupons first, it will bring my total down.

@TheAvocadoToastBudget 2 жыл бұрын

Okay so I *think* I understand the question. But just in case I’m going to answer in 2 parts 😂 If you’re wondering about deals like “spend $20 get $5 ECB”, the “spend” amount is BEFORE coupons but AFTER store discounts. So if an item is usually $7 but on sale for $5 and you have a $2 coupon, it would count as $5 toward your spend deal. And you can use ECBs on spend deals and still receive your ECB bonus! It helps to think of ECBs as gift cards! If you’re wondering about how to know how many ECBs to use: It’s a little tricky because you have to already know what your total will be after coupons to know how many ECBs to use. That’s why I recommend starting with 1-2 deals at a time! Because the register won’t show your total after coupons until AFTER it’s factored in any ECBs. (AKA you have to specify how many ECBs you want to use before completing the purchase). And at CVS, you CAN’T split up your ECBs into smaller amounts. So if I have a $10 purchase and $7 in coupons, it will still show the $10 when they ask if I want to use any ECBs. So if I get confused and THINK my total will be $5, but my total after coupons actually comes out to $3, and I used a $5 Extra Care Buck, it won’t give me any money or ECBs back. So I essentially only got $3 out of my $5 ECB. I really hope that’s not too confusing and makes sense 😬 I hate using tons of numbers, but I hope in this case the numbers helped to explain rather than making it even more confusing.
