New Stuff

IMPORTANT NOTE TO OTHER BLOGGERS REGARDING MATCH-UP POSTS:   I have no objection to the usage of my match-ups on your website.  However,  I ask that you please show respect for my hard work and limit what you post to items under $1 AND give proper credit.  As always, you are welcome to feature the entire Crystal Ball post with credit.      If you have any questions, you can contact me HERE.  Thank you!  :)

The match-ups begin with the CVSCash Card (CCC) promotional items and scenario.  From there, it continues with the moneymakers, freebies & cheapies as usual.

Old Stuff

CVS has also released a new corporate coupon policy.  Make sure you print a copy and take it with you when you shop.  The most notable change is not in the policy at all, but available on the CVS website.  They no longer accept coupons for use on a free item.  This restricts our usage on BOGO sales now to only one CVS coupon and one manufacturer coupon on the paid item only.

Since I do this for you, I listen carefully to your suggestions.  In recent weeks, more than a handful of you have mentioned that you saw a deal elsewhere and thought I must not have it in the match-ups only to go back through the match-ups and see it there.  Sheesh…I hope THAT makes sense.  Hah!  Here’s my attempt at solving that problem.  I’m going to highlight  deals that I think are particularly good in BLUE.  Why blue?  Don’cha know?  I’m outta colors!  :)  You know I color code everything to the moon.  So when you see something BLUE, it’s worth noticing ~ above and beyond the regular MM, Freebies and green deal ideas.

I am now ONLY using online prices in my match-ups. I had been using my actual store prices, but that proved equally frustrating for many people. While I realize that online prices are also frustrating, they’re relatively accurate for some. Since they’re about the same in that regard, it’s easier to use online prices! For new items not yet in their online store, I will continue to use my store prices.

This list includes all the items under $1, most of the ECB deals and many, MANY more.  Because I’m still doing most of the ad,  every link isn’t tested, as I don’t buy everything that’s on sale and I’m too cheap to waste the ink. Let me know if one doesn’t work, if my math has taken a nose dive or I’ve missed a rule somewhere.

Items within a particular sale grouping are brown and deal ideas are green.  Clearance is PURPLE.  As always, items are in ascending order by final price.

And now, the matchups….
