Hi, im new. going to try my first trans. cannot find the coupon for the Crest toothbrush or the almay. So do you suggest skipping the trans w/those items or just getting less of a deal $ wise. The $1.50 colgate printable coupon says 1 pr. hsehold yet you advise to use 2 do they ever give you trouble over that. My P&G had $1.00 off 2 dawn, not .50 off one. When you refer to transaction 1 2 and 3 can you do these all at the same time but have them ring up 3 times on same trip. TKS .. im trying to learn, because this is amazing -hats off to you ladies for your ingenious senarios and for sharing w/your fellow moms!!!! Respectfully Ronni Walsh

I usually do separate trips because I drive by CVS every day but I know of people who will do it all in one trip!

Does it say one per household? I thought when I printed it out it said one coupon per purchase. If it is one per household, I would advise only using one b/c I want to respect the coupon rules! :) I’ve never had a problem with my CVS accepting two of them, though. It is very coupon friendly.

Sometimes the coupon inserts vary by region. I do remember there is several Dawn coupons in the insert towards the back. You might want to check – the one I’m referring to was the one at the very top of the page with the Dawn coupons. But they sometimes vary by region. it is $1/2, I would just buy 2 dawn! (it is essentially the same thing since CVS doesn’t double your coupons!)

This is just a idea of how to work the deals! You can move them around to get them to work for you! If you download my CVS transaction planner in the right sidebar, it might help you develop the deals you want/need/have coupons for!! Thanks for stopping by and if you have any other questions, please post them.
