Revlon coupons suck. For years, they have beeped when using them on nail polishes and its a royal pain in the rear. Nail polish is obviously a cosmetic, but once that coupon beeps, chances are your cashier will say otherwise. I tried to avoid that scenario today by buying items that others had reported were beep-less. I'd heard that the trauma nail treatment and the top coats were ok to buy, so:- 3 Revlon Nail Polishes $4.99 each, used three $2 coupons (5/8 SS) and got back $12 EB ($4 EB each, Limit 6) = $3.03 profit
- Used $5.54 EB, total was $1.48 and got back $1 EB for using green bag tag
Then I went to another store and got another 0997 item and the Top Speed Nail Enamel, which I'd also heard was good to go (UPC 03370). This was on a different card:- 2 Revlon Nail Polishes $4.99 each, used two $2 coupons (5/8 SS) and got back $8 EB ($4 EB each, Limit 6) = $2.02 profit
- Used $5.54 EB, total was $1.14
Finally, store #3 and on a third card - I went for the gold and just got the 0997 items. BEEP-LESS! What a wonderful thing. I suggest you just buy this line of items and save yourself a headache.- 3 Revlon Nail Polishes $4.99 each, used three $2 coupons (5/8 SS) and got back $12 EB ($4 EB each, Limit 6) = $3.03 profit
- Trident Vitality Gum (9 - 14 ct) $0.99, got back $0.99 EB (Limit 1) = FREE
- Used $1 EB and $7.99 EB, total was $2.02
Then separately but on the same card, I bought:
- 2 Revlon Nail Polishes $4.99 each, used two $2 coupons (5/8 SS) and got back $8 EB ($4 EB each, Limit 6) = $2.02 profit
- Used $5.54 EB, total was $1.14
ShopRite - haven't found any margarita, appletini or mohito flavors yet. Anyone spotted these?
- 8 Crystal Lites $1.99 each, used eight $1 coupons (or here) = $7.93 or $0.99 each
- Turkey Hill ice cream $1.77
- Got $0.05 bag discount, total was $9.64

Those dang beeping Revlon coupons. They are making me nuts too. :(
I'm new to CVS - they just opened in my area. If I earn multiple EBs in a transaction, do they print out separately, or do they print out as one with a larger value? For example, if I buy a Revlon nail polish and a gum, does it print out a $4 EB and a $1 EB, or one $5 EB?
I used the $1 off any Revlon Nail Polish coupon and even IT beeped. The cashier read it like 46 times, read my nail polish bottle- pointed out that the picture on the coupon was of a particular variety, but that the coupon did say ANY, called for manager approval and then FINALLY took the dag gone dollar off! I thought I would avoid the beep and just use the polish coupon- no dice. Sometimes (most of the time) couponing can be a tad frustrating : )
TCG,
I wish they'd just fix the codes already! Its a hassle every time a sale on nail polish comes up.
K,
If you buy multiple items of the same deal, you'll get one big EB for those. That's why I split up my last purchases into two transactions, so I'd get back a $8 EB and a $12 EB, rather than a $20 EB. But if you purchase different sale items together, you'll get those EB's separate. So I got a $0.99 EB for the gum, separate from the nail polish EB's.
Mynde,
It just never ends, does it? I understand cashiers being careful about coupons, but if the coupon says nail polish and you're buying nail polish, what's the prob bob??
