I went to three or four CVS and all the revlon beauty tools were gone. This happens to me quite often . How early do I have to be to get in on these deals? Can you give me some advice? I am fairly new to couponing. Thanks, Steve
I thought for sure we wouldn’t be able to get the deal since we waited until today. We got lucky and there were exactly two nail clippers and two emery boards.
To be more direct, I would go on Sunday morning if you want to make sure you get the deals.
I checked a couple of stores last week and they were still out from the last deal, haven’t been to the store yet this week.
I was in a CVS last Saturday night and they didn’t have any (and the deal hadn’t even started yet!)
I’ve seen people with binders ready at 7am on Sunday’s at Walgreens. I don’t even try drugstores do to how much they are over shopped.
I usually get everything I want as long as I go before about noon. Typically I will wander in about 8:30-9:30 in the morning after picking up newspapers.
My SS 1/15 does not have any Revlon coupons. I bought 2 Sunday papers and they both had SS ads, but there were not any Revlon Coupons in them. Do the SS adds vary regionally? Because I find that both your site and Southern Savers list coupons in the SS adds that mine never have. Just wondering.
There are regional differences in inserts. I’m surprised if the Revlon coupons were regional though.
I went to cvs bought 2 revlon nail clippers for 2.99 each, had 2 revlon $1 off coupons with a $3 extra bucks from last week. I paid 1.59 and got an extra buck for $7. Wow a moneymaker of 5.41.
Thanks Steve
