UPDATE: This deal is DEAD.  ECBs are printing as advertised.  Still a good deal if you need diapers!

WARNING! This deal is a glitch and may be fixed at any time.  I did this deal on 7/21/13 at 6:42am.

This week there's an ECB deal on Huggies.  Spend $15, get $5 (limit 2).  Currently, when you spend $30, it's printing a $20 ECB, instead of a $10 ECB.

Here's what I did:
3 Huggies Jumbo Packs, $9.99 each
(This totals $29.97, but is close enough to trigger the ECB.)
Used 3 $2/1 printables
Just the Basics Single Roll Paper Towels, $.79
Used $.79/1 coupon printing for everyone from the in-store coupon machine
Also used $5/$25 Purchase that printed for me from the in-store coupon machine

The Spend $10 on Sally Hansen, Get $5 ECB deal is actually a limit 6, rather than the advertised limit of 1.  I did it twice on Sunday and was able to do it 4 more times today before my receipt stated that the limit was reached. I've read that you do need to do them in separate transactions for it to work though.

A huge thanks to Theresa, of The Coupon Commandos, for shopping with me and for the Sally Hansen coupons!

*Remember the Buy 1, Get 1 FREE Stayfree coupon that came out in January (and expired earlier this month) that paired with the Buy 1, Get 1 FREE Stayfree sale at CVS?  This deal made for 2 FREE packages of Stayfree per coupon.  Well, many CVS stores sold out right away.  I got a raincheck and kept checking store shelves and they were always cleared out.  The day the coupon expired, I asked a manager if I could use the coupon past the expiration date since they still didn't have stock of the product.  (I had heard of some stores doing this.)  He wrote on the raincheck "coupons ok" along with his initials, then stapled the coupons to the raincheck.  Finally, today, I found enough Stayfree in stock!  I don't think all CVS stores would allow this, but it's worth asking!
