Got sick and tired of trying to track down the elusive “golden toothbrush” from September’s ad. You know, the Oral B that, by combining ecbs and mfr coupon, ended up being free. No store has ever seen one: rather like Big Foot in that regard. Corporate said that they prepare their ads 2 to 3 months in advance (quel surprise!) and at that time the mfr had indicated that the old model was being revamped and new ones would be shipped to the warehouse in time for the sale. We all know how well that worked out. They are supposed to be shipped to the warehouses starting this week – probably get there just after the coupons expire…
I also asked about the opening of the new CVS store on the corner of Naper and Ogden: grand opening is set for 10/31 (although nothing has gone out to the surrounding neighborhood via mail or newspaper – great marketing, people).
And you wonder why my heart belongs to Wags?
Found my toothbrush in Cary this week so perhaps they are coming in now as you were told. Also, the CVS in Cary will accept an expired coupon on a product that had a raincheck provided that the raincheck was written on a date before the coupon expired. Course this CVS will also take expired EBCs too so perhaps I’m just blessed with an awesome CVS 😉
Pam, I hate you on so many levels…No, seriously, thanks for the heads up on the toothbrushes. Since the new store is opening near me, I’m hoping that they will have it fully stocked and deal-crazy. A mgr at another new(er) store told me that they -give- stuff away at grand openings. Well, don’t they always give stuff to us? Sheesh, tell us something new…
