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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.)

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.
