After a lengthy discussion with the cashier and manager, they still wouldn’t budge. I purchased six M&M’s, a Schick razor with a raincheck and coupon, 20oz pepsi and big grab chips – for .50! I’ll go back to get the Stayfree with my ECB’s. Thanks Liza for all you do.

I asked each one of them if they get reimbursed for the manufactures coupons and they each responded yes, but they received an email from head quarters that it is their policy not to honor this transaction.

Liza-thank you so much for posting this stay free deal! My neighbors just had a baby and are having an extremely hard time financially, so I was able to get her 6 boxes of pads for just the sales tax. It’s so nice to be able to help out other people even though we are in the hole financially ourselves.

My cvs was out of pretzel M&Ms today and refused to substitute another kind and then coped an attitude with me about giving me a rain check…yeessshhhhhh! I think a call to the manager may be in order.

Cathy – first did you get the email I sent you? I responded to the email you sent me earlier this morning with pretty much the same information as what Carmen said.

Help me understand what you are confused on. Here is how it works with a B1G1 sale. For Floridians, when there is a B1G1 sale, we will pay for one item and the second item will be free. Now, if we use a B1G1 coupon, that coupon is covering the cost of the one item that we would have had to pay for. With the M&Ms deal, CVS has them B1G1. There is the B1G1 coupon from this Sunday’s paper. The coupon covers the cost of a bag up to $0.79. So, when you are at the register, bring two bags, use one B1G1 coupon, the cashier will write in $0.79 on the coupon and take off $0.79 from your total owed. So, you should end up paying $0.05 per bag.

I just call CVS and they said he give you only one free and they put in the amount in the space . I read the Qit says in that space Max. value .79 . I still don’t get it Thanks Cathy

I called around once and found a publix here and there that had a stray paper or two. One even had a couple that were two weeks old.

Cathy,
I think it works like this. When something is B1G1 at the store, the store is paying for one and you are paying for one. when you have a b1g1 man q on top of that, the manu. says “hey, I’ll pay for one”. so if you step out of the picture and let the manu. pay for one and the store pay for one, you get both for free and everyone is happy. I hope this makes sense.

they are wrong. but each store/cashier interprets coupons differently (and I think some are jealous you are saving so much! LOL) I would go to a different cvs or a different cashier. Usually I tell them that I called the manufacturer and they said they would be reimbursed. because I have talked to manufacturers on this same situation before. it usually works. 🙂 Good luck!

Oops, I guess I’m asking if that is how that are limiting the deal to 6 stayfree. I actually got 10 papers this week & would like to be able to really stock up, but if the card is needed, then I really would only be able to get 6. Just checking! LOL

Hi colleen-
we scored them for free…they deducted .89 for each coupon i used. i actually thought that was the max amt on the coupon too. We got 8 bags for free.

Also loaded up on stayfree…got 8 pckgs for free AND the CVS i go to had a bonus pack of 32 (8xtra) on the BOGO deal for the same price as the 24 ….all of which were free.

I paid 20 cents for four M&M’s (making them 5 cents each). Got 4 of the the $3.89 Stayfree’s for $0.00. Paid 83 cents between the 20 cents for the 4 M&M’s and the tax for the 4 Stayfree’s. What a deal!!!! Thanks, Liza.

Hi Andrea! I always check both the St Pete Times & the Tampa Tribune to see which paper has the correct inserts. For the past 3 mths or so, the St Pete Times has notoriously left out inserts so I’ve been buying the Tribune..

Next time, should I buy the tampa tribune instead? I went through the paper at the store and thought it had all of the inserts. Guess not because these were not in there.

I had seen the Stayfree, but didn’t notice the candy! I’m using M&M’s of all types as “potty training rewards” for my little guy. Next on the stockpile list: men’s shaving cream.
