Was it just the 2 stores closest to me or did anyone else have this issue?…

My CVS stores always start the new sale week on Saturday.  I went to 2 CVS stores and, though they had started the new sale week, both stores told me the ECB wash items (only one this week - Revlon buy one for $9.99 and get $9.99 ECB) start Sunday.  I haven’t heard any chat about this, that’s why I’m wondering if anyone else ran into that problem.

Is this a new policy, that “wash” items will start on Sunday even though the rest of the sale starts on Saturday?  Dopey me didn’t think to ask either mgr.  I guess I could call.  Did you buy your Revlon Saturday and get your ECB’s?

I went to Kroger and got my standard 10 Sunday papers. Then, in the car, I quickly clipped the coupons that I needed. Went back in the store and scored the following:

9 packs of Irish Spring soap (3bars/pk)
10 Lady Speedstick deodorants
2 Speed Stick 24/7 deodorants
9 Softsoap liquid hand soaps

My total OOP (out of pocket), papers included = $20.95

My total savings = $71.65

The papers more than paid for themselves. That was just one store! I still haven’t even finished with the coupons I’m going to use this week from those same inserts. Of course there are also many other coupons from this week’s inserts that I will use in weeks to come.

Yes, multiple inserts are worth it.
