Thanksgiving Shopping Field Notes

Walgreens - Reader Kelly in West County left these notes in comments of Walgreens Black Friday deals at 3:31 am.  Wow!   I'm always impressed with the late night shoppers. The few comments I added are in italic.
Thanks, Kelly!

• $5 off olay wyb secret (10/31/10 P&G) took the full $5 off for me and did not give any problems buying the splash instead of deodorant.
•  $2 Clairol family coupon (10/3/10 P&G) worked just fine on the herbal essence.
• $1 Olay coupon (10/31/10 P&G) worked fine on the body wash and still produced jingle cash. (There were rumors that if you used this coupon, the RR wouldn't print.)
• $0.99 RR did not print when we purchased the Hawaiian Punch or Diet Dr Pepper. It did print for the 7-Up. The manager gave us cash back since they didn't print. Some of the 7-Ups had $1/2 hang tag qs on them. 2 free sodas! (At the store I shopped, the 7-Up wasn't printing either, although the cashier told me it had been printing earlier.)
• Only White cans of Nivea shave gel cans are not included in the sale - blue cans not included
•  Bic Soleil Bella Razor is the only Soleil included in the sale/RR deal.
• Jingle Cash (RR) still have a two week expiration. 
• Shelves were not always well stocked, but look on end caps and free standing displays for additional product
• I had no delay in RR printing as rumored might happen.

CVS

• The store I shopped had most of the free after ECB deals on an end aisle right up front.
• I couldn't find the Advil PM out.  A store employee searched and came up with a few containers.
• Regular sized Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are ringing up for $0.79 and printing $0.79 ECB. (Thanks, Anonymous!)

Have you been able to sneak out and get some CVS or Walgreens shopping in today?
