CVS For Rookies 101

[MnM's Mama]

This is to thank and share something I remember seedlady saying somewhere!:p
LOL "It can't hurt to ask"
Today I called CVS.
We had a script for the boys AT CVS and a transfer coupon to RA coupon.
RA did not have enough pills to fill the script in the THREE surrounding pharmacies!
So I called CVS to see on a whim if they would honor the transfer coupon from RA to KEEP my perscription there at CVS...
The person got the manager.
The manager got the pharmacy manager.
He asked me how much was the GC for and I told him $25.
He said hmmm How about if I can do $20 would that work for you???
Ummm YES!!!!!
So you never know if you got the gumption to ask you might just get a YES!!!!
Would never have had the nerve or dreamed of asking if it hadn't been for seedlady!!!
THANKYOU!!!

Are you allowed to have more than one card? I guess I'm a serious rookie at this.

There is a sign posted in my CVS that says they honor all competitor pharmacy coupons.

OK, so I'm a rookie. I checked my circular for ECB items and I'm wondering how much CVS has changed their ECB rebates since they started? For example, I read the "CVS for Rookies" section and the example ad posted is from 2007. It shows spending $10 and getting $10 in ECB's. But in today's ad, you have to spend $20 to get back $10 in ECB for a few of their ECB offers. So I'm wondering how long it takes to get your ECB's to really add up to decent savings? Also, all the ECB offers are "limit 1 per household". How often does CVS offer ECB with items while not having a limit? Thanks!

I am also brand new... I went to a garage sale this summer where a woman had tons and tons of shampoo and tooth paste and things. We joked that she must have robbed a drug store. Now I understand haha!

I was very excited reading this post, but like cookingmom, I'm wondering if things have changed since 2007. Can anyone explain?
