All of my wildest dreams have come true: all of my local CVS stores are now accepting competitor’s coupons!! That means we can have a coupon FIELD DAY with Walgreens EasySaver (ES) catalog coupons and in-ad coupons and also Rite Aid coupons!! I have tried this several times in the last few days and have had no problems. All of my local CVSes now have a sign at the register that says “We gladly accept competitor coupons” or something to that effect. Sooo, since I love you, dear readers, for all those CVSers in the Dayton area, I put together some scenarios that match up current CVS ECB deals with Walgreens ES coupons. Just go into Walgreens and pick a few up! They’re usually right up front with the weely ad. YOU’RE WELCOME! Here ya go:
Schick Intuition Razor
CVS Price: $8.88, get 6 ECBs back (limit 1)
-$3 Walgreens ES catalog coupon
-$4 Schick coupon from 5/4 RedPlum
=$1.88 and get 6 ECBs back!
Colgate Max Fresh Toothpaste
CVS Price: $2.99, get 2 ECBs back (limit 5)
Buy two @ 5.98
-Walgreen’s ES catalog coupon for $2/2
– two $1/1 Colgate Max Fresh printable (available in the special offers section at Colgate.com)
= $1.98 and get 4 ECBs back!
If you have a CVS $3/$15 coupon, you can combine these deals (with a small filler) and spend about $1 plus tax and get 10 ECBs back!!
Viactiv Chews 60-90 count
CVS Price: $5.49, get 3 ECBs back (limit 5 – this is a monthly deal but sale price is only good this week!)
Use $3 off in-ad coupon found in Walgreens ad THIS WEEK and make a 51-cent profit!! Use the $2/1 coupon from the 3/02 RedPlum insert and get major overage!!
Other deals:
Buy $10 of select Irish Spring and Softsoap, get 4 ECBs (Qualifying items: 18 oz Irish Spring body wash $4.99, 12 oz SoftSoap body wash $3.99, 8 pk. Irish Spring bar soap $5.99, and 40 oz. SoftSoap hand soap refill (not sure of price on refill.)
Use Walgreens Easy Saver catalog coupons: $2 off Irish Spring Body Wash, $1 off SoftSoap body wash, $1 off 8-pk. Irish Spring bar soap
Combine with manufacturer’s coupons from 4/27 Smart Source: $1 off SoftSoap body wash, (there is also a printable for this on the special offers section of colgate.com), 50 cents of Irish Spring body wash, and 30 cents off Irish Spring bar soap.

Crest Pro-Health toothpaste and and rinse are included in this at $3.99 and you can use the Walgreens ES catalog coupon for $3/2 as well as the manufacturer’s coupons that were in the P&G insert on 5/4! (I used all mine at Walgreens last week though!!)
Have FUN!!
how do I get these red plum inserts everyone is talking about?
Oh, I’m so jealous! This is ALMOST enough to make me want to move to OH… no, nevermind. lol 😉
But I AM insanely jealous! Good for you, and great scenarios!
They come in Sunday newspaper.
You know I have seen that competitor coupon sign for about two weeks now and I just thought they would tell me that they mean only Pharmacy coupons so I never really tried using other store coupons. Thanks though I will try now!! 🙂
The CVS that I shop at has been taking competitor coupons for a couple months now. I think it’s been since the Walgreen’s went up across the street. It’s great because you can use Walgreen’s ad to match prices or use their coupons. Lots of deals to be had at CVS with Walgreen coupons!!
I came across your blog and LOVE it!! I am now a stay at home mom and love me some CVS deals! I can’t wait to use the competitor coupons, too.
Man, maybe it would be worth it for me to move back to Dayton?!?Hopefully my CVS’ will start doing the same thing. I’ll keep my eyes open!
That is FABULOUS!! I have to go to Dayton to pick up Princess’s birth certificate in the next couple of weeks (She was born at Miami Valley) so I will have to check out a CVS or two!
I am SO jealous!
