If you haven't heard all CVS stores received a memo a few weeks ago about NOT accept CVS coupons expired anymore. This includes red coupon machine coupons and ECB. Some stores have already started following the new rules.
I had $42 ECB that were expired or were about to expire. There is certainly not $42 in things I wanted from the ad this week so I was at a loss on how to spend it. I went into my store today and the cashier said that they received the memo but were still accepting ECB expired as of today. YAY! I asked if I could push my luck and try to use my $24 ECB that was going to expire this week next Sunday and the cashier said that would be fine. I decided to go ahead and use $18 in ECB though just in case there wasn't much next week I wanted either. I had almost $60 in ECB or gift cards at the start of today, so I decided to "burn" some to get the number down. Whenever they do decide to stop accepting them expired it would be way to hard to use that many before they expire each month.
CVS
OOP: $0.00 ($1.55 went on a previously purchased e gift card still available here - $10 CVS gift card for $5.99)
Savings of: $56.14
Earned $15.79 ECB ($1.00 from the green bag tag)
My Up2U gum rang up $1.57 instead of $.99 like in the ad (& the signs posted). I didn't notice until I got home, so I'll take my receipt back next time I am in to buy something to see if I can get the difference credited back. I also just realized I could have used another Nature Made coupon...boo!

This is definitely not one of my best transactions. Vitamins should be free & I usually wouldn't pay $5.50 for Bronzer but I didn't have all my coupons with me and I was thinking on feet so to say.
