Had a few ecbs expiring today so hurried on over to the newest store (also the closest), only to learn that they accept expired ecbs up to one month back. good to know…. But then it was a good thing I did stop over because they have a ton of HerbaShine color on clearance for $2.07. Sooooo, here is what I did: 6 clearance HerbaShine, 3 sale ones; 4 Nivea lip balms. Register took off $3 for each HerbaShine (11/7 rp & 1/9 S1), used two BOGO Nivea (1/2 r2) and the $3/10 cosmetics from the magic coupon machine. Paid with a $10 ecb and a $1 (from using the green tag) and had to fork over $3.15 for the damned high tax. It worked out OK, I guess, ’cause I got back $10 for the HerbaShine and $5 for the Nivea. and lots more hair color. hmmm, maybe i should open up my own salon.

The Dark Side of Couponing
Hello, did they open another CVS somewhere in our area? We seem to be living close, the stores you mention are mine as well…. The most recent opening I know of was on Ogden in Naperville…
No, nowhere near wherever you are. I’m in the central part of Wyoming….yeah, that’s right, Wyoming. Long, long, long way from you, wherever you are, that is. Oh, who am I kidding here? Yes, the new CVS on Naper and Ogden is the one with currently depleted stocks of hair color and which says they will take ecbs up to one month expired.
watch those clearanced hair colors ’cause when they get too old you could end up with a really funky hair color!
and no, not speaking from experience either.
Like it would be any odder than my own hair color! Seriously, the store only opened a few months ago, so I’m pretty safe. Well, as safe as using anything coming out of the cvs warehouse can be (remember those god-awful long-expired nuts?).
