I was wondering, I heard that the limit for the advil etc. deal was now 2? do you know if this is true?
Lindsey it might be! I’m looking over my receipt and it does not say, “Offer Limit Reached” like it did with the Grocery deal. I’ll have to try this again later in the week, so thanks
is the muddy buddies included this time around?
Angel my store didn’t have any so I wasn’t able to test it. I hope they are – the Turtle variety was included, so that’s a good sign.
Im just wondering how you are able to purchase 2 Advil use a B1G1 free coupon ( requiring you to purchase 2 to use the coupon) AND a $1/1 coupon (which would require you to purchase an additional Advil) ? You only purchased 2. Those 2 are covered on the B1G1 coupon. Using an additional $1 coupon is using more than 1 on the same item which is not allowed. Please clarify
Joanna my CVS store has always allowed the use of a coupon against a Free item. While some stores do not allow this (Meijer, for example), some do (like Walgreens). HTH
Where is the Bogo coupon for Centrum vitamins?
Where is the BOGO Centrum Vitamins coupon from?
Joe, thanks for catching my typo. I added that the BOGO Free dedcted $7.20 after Francesca commented on Facebook, and I just put it on the wrong line. I used a BOGO Free Advil printable coupon from Facebook. It looks like they are now offering a $1.50/1 Children’s Advil printable.
