Hi LOVE your videos & blog! Thank you for helping me SAVE, SAVE, SAVE 🙂 I went to two different Walgreens this week and attempted to do the Garnier Fructis deal. I was told on both accounts that b/c the coupon total exceeded the product total I couldn’t use both coupons 🙁 I asked if they could adjust the coupon down & was told both times no b/c they’d been instructed by “corporate” to not do this any longer. Has anyone else encountered this.
Hey Roze! Bummer. Did you hand over your manufacture coupons before the Walgreens coupon?
In savingstar Excedrin rebate is not available for CVS in my App, please tell me how did you do it?
It seems that this offer is not showing up for everyone. So I’m crossing this out for now.
I just love your site and the videos that you upload every week. I am new to couponing and I am really learning a lot from everything that you have posted. Thank you for all the great information.
awww thanks for saying that kim! you made my day 🙂
Why is it important to scan walgreens coupon for gariner last?
The manufacture coupon will exceed the price of the item and won’t scan.
How many times can you use ibotta on the same product?
Limit is one.
our walmart will not give me full value of the coupons , you always say money maker , but they wont do that 🙁
That’s a bummer patricia because their coupon policy states: “If coupon value exceeds the price of the item, the excess may be given to the customer as cash or applied toward the basket purchase.”
they shouldn’t go against what the policy says. I would try to call corporate or bring your coupon policy with you next time. It doesn’t say they adjust coupons down to the value of the item.

Hi, I love your site and videos. I have learned so much from you and I thank you for that. I do have a question.
For CVS: I know that the % off coupons they email you is for things that are not on sale. I received a coupon in Extra Saving for 30% off hand and body lotion. Is this coupon only good for lotions not on sale or can you use it for lotions that are on sale?
Thank You Lorna
Hi Lorna!
Generally the % off coupon you get in email that only applies to regular priced items isn’t category specific. So for Category specific, read the coupon. It’ll tell you if it’s on all or just regular price. 🙂

Hello, I am interested in using the booster points. But I’m trying to figure out how to do my deal. I want the Gillette shaving gel, the Garnier hair products, puff facial tissue and the Kraft Mac n cheese. I have a Walgreens coupon for the shaving gel $3 off and the $2/2 Garnier. Can someone help me work out the math for this deal? Only need help with knowing how to incorporate the Walgreens coupons. Thank you
Shaving gel -$5.99
Garnier-$2.99
Puffs-.99
Kraft Mac .79
For the point booster you need to hit $30 after any Walgreens coupon, but before any manufacturers coupon.
