My friend told me about a recent deal where CVS was giving $10 in "extrabucks" (money you can spend in CVS on most items) for any 2 Conair products bought at the same time. She found some Conair curling irons on clearance marked down from $9.99 to $2.49 each. So she spent $5 and got $10 back. Not only that, but she'll now sell those curling irons at a flea market for $5 each and she always sells well. That's NOT a good deal? It's an amazing deal. She doesn't need 2 curling irons, but now she can spend that $10 in store money on things like milk and bread that never have coupons and she'll use. PLUS make money on the products she'll get rid of in a flea market or garage sale. This is a very common type of deal too. Most people are too lazy to do this shit.

Rite Aid has their own form of store money, and so does Walgreens.

Also, yes it would be fraud to use 2 or more manufacturers coupons on 1 transaction, but you OFTEN can use 1 manuf. plus 1 store coupon on a single item. The manufacturer pays the stores when they move the product, so it's not like the store is out any money.

Many manuf. coupons will be "good on any size" of product. This is where you can get items for only sales tax or even free depending on your store and your state laws. Get a coupon like that, go shop on your stores "double coupon" day, and get trial sizes for free. Cart loads. This is how it works. It's more like a full time job than a hobby if you ask me.. I asked my friend and she said each shopping trip takes her about 2 hours of planning ahead of time.
