Go to shortcuts.com and load the Dentastix $2.50 coupon onto your Ralphs card.

CVS strategy

I have come up with a strategy for being able to save my ECBs until ECBs are back in California.

I spent all of my ECBs, and then returned the items. Since I paid with ECBs, I can't get money back so the cashier has to return the items and put them on a gift card. Now I have my ECBs on a CVS gift card that doesn't expire. Now I am not so bitter. I'm still missing the deals the rest of the country gets, but now I don't have to start over.

Here is another trick that I just learned a couple days ago: Keep scanning your card to get coupons at the price check machine. Today I scanned my card 3 times and got 12 coupons. You never know when these coupons will come in handy. I used to only scan my card once, I hate to think of all the coupons I have missed out on.

San Bernardino shoppers: Bittersweet nightmare come true!!!

You all know I hate the manager Diego at the San Bernardino store, good news I heard the employees say that he was transferred to a Fontana store- yay!!

I also hate the cashier Sharon!! She has a real problem with me getting stuff free, she acts like I'm robbing HER. So today I went to CVS to make my return and get my spent ECBs onto a money card. The cashier doesn't know what to do, because I got something for free and now I want to return it. I told her to just put it on a money card, but she has to have "manager permission." So she gets on the loud speaker and says "Sharon come to the front." I thought oh, there is a new manager named Sharon, I can't wait to meet her. Then the horrible nightmare comes true, here comes cashier from hell Sharon, and now she is a manager!!! I about fell on the floor. Hopefully since she is a new manager she will work a lot of nights which is when I don't shop at CVS.

That's all for now......take my advice: go spend your ECBs, return the items and get your hard earned ECBs put onto a gift card.

Kmart doubles are back....

Kmart is having double coupons again this week. I might end up going since there are no ECBs at CVS this week.

The ad says "Super Doubles up to 75 cents," this might be a misprint. Click here for details.

No ECBs this week!

I heard a rumor a couple weeks ago that there would be no ECBs in May and I didn't think it would be possible.

I had my shopping trip at CVS all planned out for today. I opened my paper today and checked the ad before walking out the door and noticed that the rumor is true. There are no ECB offers in the ad.

Please let me know if you know when ECBs will be back. I really hope that my hard earned ECBs will not expire before ECBs are back.

It would have been real nice for CVS to let California shoppers know about this in advance. I'm thinking of calling corporate tomorrow.

If you are a reader in another state, please let me know if you would be willing to get me rainchecks on ECB items that I can use when ECBs are back in California.
