You should be able to use 2 coupons. I’ve done it many times.

Damien,
When I use the coupons like from the coupon machine or on the receipt, they ring up as CVS coupons, so it is a store q. You can use a mfg q with them…and of course the $4/20 or $5/25..etc.
hope that helps!

Beginner CVS question…

On B1G1 items, if I have to buy 2 to get the savings, can I use 2 coupons?

For example, the Ponds face wipes are B1G1. Can I use 2/$1.50 coupons? Therefore, $15.00 (7.49 each) in Ponds products would cost me $4.50.

Thanks for your help. Love the site!

No, you can do them all in one transaction.

That is what the lady at the corporate office said I should do next time. She was very helpful and apologized, and said she’ll be speaking to the district manager.

I forgot to mention, next time you have a problem where you know you’re right, I do think that you should call corporate in front of them. Or suggest that they call and confirm.

wow, that’s really lame. do you have another store in your city/town? I used to shop at the store that’s closer to my house all of the time. There was one cashier that was there all of the time that was great. He was always amazed when I saved so much money and he loved it when I got back more ECBs then I spent…. he hasn’t been there in probably 2 months though. I don’t know if he got fired or quit but I miss him. Most of the other people who work there are rude and unhelpful.

Now I shop at the other store in my town. It’s a little farther away but it’s so much more pleasant. The people are helpful and friendly and are always so happy to take my coupons. The one cashier is always joking about the difference in savings/oop between me and my fiance.

I can’t believe that they said you had to get 2 if it says limit 2. That’s like saying that if the ad says “limit 2″ you HAVE to buy 2, which is obviously not true. It’s also insane that they wouldn’t adjust your ECB down or give you a rain check for more than 2. I’ve gotten rain checks that say 5 before. There are lots of things in the ad that are on sale that don’t even have a limit, so why would it be limited for a rain check. I really hate it that their “rules” are so different from one store to another.

I think that the main problem with the store closer to my home is that most of the people who shop there are college students and I would assume that most of them do not coupon. I hope that your situation gets better!

I was so aggravated at CVS this week. I had a rain check for the Scope Outlast toothpaste from last week. The raincheck said quantity two, but I only wanted to buy one because I had one coupon. The manager said that I MUST buy two. I thought that was so ridiculous that I called corporate and they said that is NOT true. Now I wasted my coupon which expired yesterday. Oh well.

This same CVS gave me hassle a month ago when I tried to use $10 ECB to pay for a $9.98 purchase. They refused to ring it up as the $9.98.

The same mangager who wouldn’t take my ECBs also wrote a raincheck with a limit of 2 for something that the ad said was limit of 4. She refused to change it, saying that rainchecks are always a limit of 2. Corporate said that she was wrong on both those counts. Next time I should call corporate right there from the cash register and they will correct them for me.

this might be a silly question but do prescriptions count in the OOP on the receipt?

By: kelli

kelli — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 03:28:49 +0000

yes, I’m taking about the savings on the bottom of the receipt. I know that they’re based on regular CVS prices, so the savings is a bit inflated, but I’m still surprised. Even if stuff it half the price somewhere else, it’s still over $900 in savings. I think that our out of pocket for the year is about $75… it took me a little while to get the hang of things. And sometimes, when I’m saving a bunch of money, I just buy everything at once and pay a little bit OOP so that I don’t have to deal with the grumpy cashiers not wanting to let me do more than one transaction.

I was so happy
I went to CVS on Monday and bought 16 powerades and 6 hersey bars.
I used a $5 off $25 coupon, B10G5 coupon on the powerade and 5 $1 off the combination of a hersey bar and a coke product. I spent approx. $2 (had to use $5 in rewards) and got the $15 off of the DVD coupon back.

Just return the papertowels for the right ones and your rewards sould print.

If you are looking at your receipt, remember that is based on regular prices at CVS. How much are you spending out of pocket? :) That will help to calculate how much you have saved. Good job at your savings! I’ve saved about the same amount $800+ this year on each of my cards.

sorry I meant $3 off $15

Is it for CVS product purchase. I got one of those today.

By: Holly

Holly — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:19:50 +0000

This is what I bought;
3 Tides (different scents) $6 each = $18
1 Bounty 6 big rolls (however this didn’t say Basic) but it was $6 on sale so I thought it was part of the deal. = $6
2 Hand Renewal $1.00 each = $2
Total $26 before coupons

It said at the bottom of my receipt:
Earned 20
Need to earn 5

I called CVS but I won’t be able to do anything until Friday.

One thought is this:
1. Wait until Friday and call CVS.
2. Go to CVS buy another Tide and then return it?
3. Return the papertowels and buy a Tide?

I was just wondering how much money other people have saved over the year? I only started CVSing on Memorial Day when they had a bunch of freebies. I wasn’t good at it at first but I’m pretty great at it now.

My year to date savings are $908.63
My fiance’s year to date savings are $939.54

I can’t quite believe how much we’ve saved over just 4 months.
