CVS: What did you get? Weekly CVS Cash Register Tape coupons!

[cuzisaidso]

CRT (cash register tape) coupons are the promotional coupons from CVS that print at the bottom of your receipt. They generally have an expiration date that is 2 weeks or so away, but cannot be reset like the ECBs. These can be combined with manufacturer coupons for greater savings!

There is no guarantee that you will get the same coupons that are posted here, but it's a good way to get a heads-up on what might print. CVS also seems to put out coupons for things that may be going on sale in the next few weeks.

[PirateQueen]

Can you explain this a little? I've never heard of scanning your card somewhere in the store and getting coupons out...except for on the receipt when you buy something.

Confused :)

Does your store have a red (or gray) price check scanner? If so, scan your card's barcode and if any coupons/crts are available (and the machine has paper) they will print out of the side. Keep scanning after each print until the screen says no more coupons available today.

[seedlady]

How many times do you scan your card when you are at the store? I just tried it for the first time yesterday and it gave me two coupons. Many are listing more than two in this thread so does that mean multiple swipes on the same visit or does the machine just love you all more, lol. TIA.

multiple swipes. i keep checking till it says "no coupons: check back tomorrow".

the other clue is, once you get a cvs house brand set, you are d o n e !

[seedlady]

ok i have read this whole thread and i still have a few questions. first.... everyone here is talking about a machine that is separte from the check out progress. i looked it up and there is only 1 store in charlotte that has this "MAGIC" machine. so if the store does not have it does that mean i am out of luck???? so only the lucky ones get "magic" every now and then?

nope- the same coupons print on the receipt when you check out. some people get them on the way in, some on the way out. if you are curious, buy something small when you first get there to see what coupons you have.


on occasion, if i'm fast enough, i get a set coming AND going. same/same.

all of them are offers at the registers, and can print either way.

[seedlady]

Hi
I am new to all this so can someone please tell me what the crt coupons are? Where do I scan my card or does the cashier do this for me? thanks in advance, rebecca

they are the coupons that print on the bottom of the cash register tape. ( crt).

some stores also have a scanner, so you can get them on the way in to the store, but if you don't do that, they print on your way out, on the tape.

( cvs calls them OARS, for offers at the register.)

[cdarrow26]

im sorry if this has already been answered but i couldn't find it. i always scan my card when i first get to cvs and i get the coupons from the scanner but i never get anything on my receipt.(crts?) so my question is are the coupons im getting from the scanner the same as what i WOULD get from the crt if i didnt use the scanner when i first got there?

Yep!

[couponcrazy5950]

...:banghead:HELP!!! SAVE ME FROM THE NUTS AND PAPER TOWELS!!!

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

[ekoury]

I'm confused when everyone is talking about CRTs. Everyone keeps talking about scanning their card, are they doing this at checkout when you ring up purchases or is there someplace else to scan your card to receive coupons? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Everyone.
Sure... Ask your store if they have a scanner. The scanner is used to check prices and also to scan your card to receive CRT. New stores have the scanner, and now some older stores across the US are getting it.

I got a $7/49 too. I'm thinking about not using it. It's not as good as a $10/50 so I don't want to encourage them.

[Weinergirl]

I have a couple of the 7/49s, and I don't think I am going to use them either. It's hard to spend that much in CVS these days. Luckily I also got a 5/15 so I know that one will be used.

um i have never gotten a coupon on my register tape. and also have never swiped my card at magic coupon machine more than once. didnt know i could! once i scanned it and it said come back tomorrow but that was the first time.

last week i got a $6/$36 but it expires this week and i dont even want anything there this week ugh!

Well, this was easy. Do you know that you can shop on Saturday for the next week's sales? Some CVS switch to Sunday's sale on Saturdays and they run both weeks' sales at the same time. You could have gotten 1 Nova Max meter, which would have given you $9.99 to start with. Glade deal was excellent last week and the limit was 3. And this week, they have the ear rinse for free, so between the meter and the rinse you would have been up to $17.98 in freebies. You would only need to find $18.02 in other stuff to reach $36. Of course, I do not know what mq you have, but with 2 freebies this week, it sounds pretty easy to reach $36.

Ekoury gave you good suggestions ^^. I also suggest you start collecting rainchecks, especially for the freebies, even if it isn't something you'll use. They make for good belated filler for weeks when you have a $/$$.

[cheapcheap]

OMG! Got a "$5/$15 3 day only" from register tape after making a small purchase. Scanned the magic machine first before the purchase, but had gotten nada. Also got a $25 prescription Q! I guess they want you to buy something first before they'll give you any discounts now!

[DJH715]

Well I felt like a kid at Christmas today. As soon as I walked into my CVS this morning my favorite cashier greeted me and told me to go and scan my card on the new scanner. When I looked where she was pointing, there it was. Woohoo we finally received a Coupon scanning machine at our store. So of course, I almost ran over and this is what I received when I scanned my card:

$2 off any Viologie hair care
$1.50 off Sensodyne 4 oz. + Iso-Active
$5 off any Photo Greeting card purchase
$2.00 off any 2 Dove hair products

My register tape also gave me:
$2.00 off any 2 Mennen Speedstick

Now here is my question:

How often can I scan my card and if I do it more than once in a week will I receive the same coupons or different ones. My CVS cashier & manager want to know also.
Thanks all!

Good for you! You can scan your card every day until the scanner says no coupons available check tomorrow. However, you are not going to receive good coupons every time you scan. Usually, CVS puts out new coupons on Mondays. The last 2 coupons you'll receive after the good ones will be for CVS products and those are the everyday coupons. You can scan your card every day and you will receive those. The good coupons are usually once per week, sometimes nore often. When I say "good coupons", I mean Dove, Colgate, Viologie, etc... Sometimes you will receive $/$$. I got the Dove coupons, and the the Speedstick ones this Monday too.

[bananafishfever]

I got the $2 off any Huggies wipes or refills CRT a little while ago. There are lots of manufacturer coupons for refill tubs 64 ct+ (save 50 cents I think). However, I decided to skip the manuf. coupon and just use the CRT on the 16 ct travel wipes ($1.59) so I got some overage.

Today I got a couple of new ones...off the top of my head, $1/1 Colgate Max Fresh and $1/1 Aveeno Shave.
