<p>I was curious to see what I could do with the CVS Gift Card deal they have going on right now. I noticed that Scott toilet paper and paper towels were part of the deal and we are in DESERPATE need of toilet paper so I grabbed my Scott coupons and set out to try this out. I had a $10 ECB left over for doing a survey as part of the panel along with a couple other $2 ECBs and I ended up with a really decent deal.</p>
<p><strong>Buy $30 in participating products and get a $10 gift card of your choice</strong>.<br />
CVS gift cards are included in this which means that you could roll it over to do other deals there!</p>
<p>3 Scott Extra Soft 12pk Toilet Paper 3 x $8= $24<br />
1 Scott Paper Towels 6pk $6<br />
4 Starburst Morphs 4 x $.50= $2<br />
Total= $32</p>
<p>Used (3) $1/1 Scott Toilet Paper coupons from 10/23 SS<br />
Used (1) $1/1 Scott Paper Towel coupons from 10/23 SS<br />
Used (2) B1G1 Starburst printables<br />
Used $14 in ECBs<br />
= $15.15 OOP</p>
<p>Received $1 ECB (for Starbursts)<br />
Received $10 Gift Card (I chose CVS so I could get more deals!)<br />
Final Price= $4.15</p>
<p>View all of the <a href="http://www.savingwithamy.com/category/cvs/" target="_blank">CVS deals</a> here.</p>
<p><em>And in case you&#8217;re wondering, that Scott toilet paper is REALLY heavy!</em></p>

<p>When using my coupons, I did have a little hesitation from the cashier about an overage situation. Even a manager that came over was having issues giving my overage and understanding that this is their policy. It was after a second manager came over that the cashier and the first manager became aware and they eventually gave me the overage and all was well. They were not rude at all, just a bit baffled that I would get overage. In the end, they went by their policy and everything went smoothly.</p>

<p>I ordered the $5 off Similac coupons a while back and finally came across 2 stores that actually had them in stock. So of course I was stoked to finally get stocked up!</p>
<p>I had originally planned to get some meat and milk with my overage, but at the last minute decided against it because I didn’t want to figure up the math. So I thought what better a time to test out the money back policy.</p>
<p>Just as the coupon stated, <strong>Limit 1 Coupon Per Transaction</strong> I did every one of those bottles in separate transactions. Was it a pain the behind? Yes! Did I mind? No, because I was getting paid to take these off Walmart’s hands.</p>
<p>While I was checking out a CSM came over and decided to confirm the new policy of giving change back. (I had my coupon policy in hand and ready to go should questions arise) She rang the manager through the walkie talkie and I heard the manager’s response. She said “Yes, we do give cash back. We receive the full face value of these coupons so we give the same to the customer.” I was smiling from ear to ear at this point. I’ve never heard cashiers or managers actually understand and enforce what is correct until that moment! I was very impressed with how accepting these cashiers were and not one of them got fussy about a thing.</p>
<p>So I think you can figure out what I got!</p>
<p><strong>21 Bottles of Similac Sensitive Spit Up Formula Quart $3.84</strong></p>
<p>Total Savings: <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>$86.94</strong></span> (includes the tax that was paid by the overage)<br />
Total OOP: <strong>$0.00</strong>- got paid a total of $17.92 cash</p>

<p>I went to Walmart again tonight, this time to just get my prices for the Walmart matchups this week. But alas, I could not pass up trying another deal run. This time I decided to give a little more slack with the overages and see if I could really end up with a negative balance. While I did end up with a negative balance, the tax is what got me!</p>
<p>Here’s what I got:</p>
<p><strong>4 Gain Fabric Sheets 40 ct $1.87<br /></strong>- Used $3/1- Final Price= FREE + $1.13 overage each<br /><strong>2 Gain Fabric Softener 50 oz $4.18<br /></strong>- Used $3/1- Final Price= $1.18 each<br /><strong>1 Purex Crystals Fabric Softener $3.97<br /></strong>- Used a FREE coupon- Final Price= FREE<br /><strong>2 Nabisco Cheese Nips 8.8 oz $1.00<br /></strong>- Used $1/2- Final Price= $.50 each<br /><strong>1 Fruity Pebbles Treats $2.00<br /></strong>- Used $1/1- Final Price= $1.00</p>
<p>Total Savings: <font color="#ff0000"><strong>$25.97<br /></strong></font>Total OOP: $2.10 (ALL of this was tax, my balance was neg. $.22)<br />Savings of <strong>92.5%</strong></p>
<p><strong>_____________________________________________</strong></p>
<p>I never once had to mention to the new policy to the cashier. A lot of the coupons required a validation of the amount and she put them all through with no problem. I had my policy readily available just in case. <img src='http://www.savingwithamy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><a href="http://www.savingwithamy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_20110314_194812.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_20110314_194812" border="0" alt="IMG_20110314_194812" src="http://www.savingwithamy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_20110314_194812_thumb.jpg" width="354" height="264"></a> </p>
<p>I went into Walmart tonight to put their new policy to the test. I don’t think I really pushed it to the limits like I could have, but I really do feel like I should use my overage for other items. I mean, its Walmart- they always have something that I need! So this trip was to mainly see how they handled the overage situation and to see what I could get for little cash.</p>
<p>Here’s how I did:</p>
<p><strong>4 Purex 3-in-1 Fabric Sheets 2 ct $.97<br /></strong>- Used $3/1- Final Price= FREE + $2.03 overage on each<br /><strong>5 Gain Fabric Softener Sheets 40 ct $1.87<br /></strong>- Used $3/1- Final Price= FREE + $1.13 overage on each<br /><strong>4 Gain Fabric Softener Liquids 50 oz $4.18<br /></strong>- Used $3/1- Final Price= $1.18 each<br /><strong>2 Air Wick Sprays $.97<br /></strong>- Used B1G1- Final Price= $.48 each<br /><strong>1 Dole Frozen Fruit $2.68<br /></strong>- Used $.75/1- Final Price= $1.93<br /><strong>1 Butterball Ground Turkey Roll $2.18<br /></strong>- No Coupons<br /><strong>1 Hormel Always Tender Pork Roast 1.5 lb $4.98<br /></strong>- Used $1/1- Final Price= $3.98<br /><strong>1 Philadelphia Cooking Creme $2.48<br /></strong>- Used $1.50/1- Final Price= $.98<br /><strong>2 Chex Mix Snacks $1.00<br /></strong>- Used $.50/2- Final Price= $.75 each</p>
<p>Total Savings: <font color="#ff0000"><strong>$43.72<br /></strong></font>Total OOP: $6.55 ($4.06 was tax!)<br />Savings of <strong>86.9%</strong></p>
<p>I could have used more Gain coupons to get more overage and get paid to walk out. But I don’t really feel comfortable with that, so I used it towards meat and the liquid Gain. </p>
<p><strong><em>Have you tried out the policy yet? What do you think?</em></strong></p>
