Rolling rolling rolling.....

....keep those ECBs/RRs rolling. Raw hidddddddddddddde! Ok, I don't normally sing to you but I thought Mum would like that as she loves Westerns.
Today I got a check back from Coricidin for cold relief for high blood pressure. Why oh why would I send in a mail in rebate form for something I don't use? Because it was free? Nopers but close try! Because I got to roll some ECBs. You see over Thanksgiving when I got the big haul of stuff I ended up with a gazillion ECBs. And you know that the next week there was not much for free so I had to spend them at CVS somehow and there's only so much candy I can buy for Samaritan's Purse so I decided to spend them on a Mail in Rebate and effectively cash them out.
I bought the product with ECBs and sent it off for the MIR. That meant that although I paid a little in taxes, I got it for free and was able to use some bucks. "But, Clair, what in the world are you gonna do with it? What a waste!" Well, friends, I'm gonna donate it. Currently I have a few boxes of stuff ready to donate so it won't go to waste. What a win win!
So, why am I bringing this up? Well you know all those Huggies RRs you all have from last week? Why not buy the Vitamin Shampoo and Walgreens Allergy Medicine like I did today. Submit the allergy medicine for the ES rebate online and send the receipt in for the Vitamin Shampoo. That killed one $10 RR for me.

I've been using mine at Jewel and Meijer. Thank you sooooo sooooo very much for exposing that gem of a tip!
I love using my RR on rebate items. They are a great filler so that you can use multiple RR on a transaction. Plus, it is like changing a RR into cash on your gift card. Seems to me to be a great way to roll.
my CVS told me that they allow ECB's to be used past the expiration date...even up to a couple of months past the expiration date
I went to the Meijer today in Highland and they would not take my Walgreen's RR? Would it work better if I went through the self check-out?
Clair, you're amazing!!!
Carli, I didn't know they took them at Meijer til Kate said that. Srry
Just an FYI - if the RR is a "Manufacturer's Coupon" it should be accepted anywhere that accept MCs... even if it has the name of another store on it... :) (per my local Kroger affiliate)
Roz: RR is Register Rewards at Walgreens, ECB is Extra Care Bucks at CVS. Check out my Start Here section in the top for more explanations. Hope that helps!
OK just to get this striaght. Can I buy something at cvs, get the ecb and use them on the same product and get more ecb? I know you can not normally do it at walgreens but can I do it at cvs
