I spent most the weekend far away from my coupons, but ran out to my CVS last night to see if there were any of the free school supplies left. Luckily, they still had most of what I wanted in stock. They were out of the 24 count pencils, so I got a raincheck for those. For those not aware, rainchecks are GREAT, especially at CVS. CVS rainchecks NEVER expire and they write the promo code directly on the raincheck so they can manually print your ECB later. (You might want to also keep that weeks ad with the raincheck for clarity when you redeem them. Also, don't let the cashier tell you to come back when their truck comes. You are there NOW, you can get your raincheck NOW!)Here is my breakdown:
2 Caliber filler paper $2 each
2 Papermate 1.2 pens $.99 each
2 1" Vinyl binders $3 each
Used a $7.99 ecb, $2 ecb and $2 ecb adjusted down to $1.99, no other oop
Got back $$1.98 for pens, $4 for paper and $6 for binders
So total cost overall, lost .01 in ecb value

Mine didn't have the pencils or binders. Didn't think about a raincheck! Great reminder!!
Thanks about letting us know about the rain checks. I did not know they would because of the EBC. I get so mad because they never have the free items in stock in the Pearland area.
My cashier even gave me a raincheck for the Johnson's To Go Travel kits. They're awesome.
Has anyone in the Houston area found a CVS with backpacks? All 4 that I've been to don't have them yet. That might be another raincheck item...
Their new rainchecks with the "event number" which is on the ad, are awesome! This is another good reason to have them staple the ad onto the raincheck: in case they write down the event # incorrectly. And, in case they leave out any details of the deal.
