I said I was not obligated to keep coming in, that I was here now and they had no paper, so I got my rain check. Was I right? I mean, they can't make me keep coming in, right?

I do that too. I go to the store once a week. I don't have the time nor the desire to check back in 100 times until finally the last day comes and they still don't have what I want. If they are out today, I get a raincheck today.

Good day at CVS, even tho my store doesn't appear to carry the 5' scissors.

That is good to know! Thanks for posting. I didn't want the 'arthritis' b/c nobody I know uses it and didn't want to get stuck with 3 bottles. However, I do have a small case of mouse-itis, and I'm sure that tyelnol will do wonders for the index finger!! Ugh, now I'm so peeved I passed on it when I was in there earlier. Guess I'll go back later today...hopefully there will still be stock!

I got 4 books today from 2 different stores. First store, I was told the limit is one. I said ok, I want both anyways. Hate the interface, but I got the hang of it after the first time.

Here's my theory, if the ad states only one and you request a raincheck, they are only obligated to give you a raincheck for 1 even if the limit is higher than stated in the ad. CVS is smart that way.

Transaction 1 is not right. You will only have 3.99 in ecbs

I just ended up buying the 3.99 notebook again and got 3.00 and then used that 3.00 ECB to buy three .99....

Sorry!

BTW series shopping is fun when no one is in the store....lol! Had a great trip. Did the deal 3 times at 3 different stores. Got my exercise for the day

I got 1 photo book this morning and when I got home, I called them and ask the limit, they said 5. Woohooo!!! I'll come back later to get more. :-D

I made five books this morning - back to back. I actually had my manger print the same book 4 times. He is soooo awesome. Anyway, he said he gets $1 ecb for every book he sells. So he made $5 ecb on my books and I hooked him up with some hefty coupons and some $/$$ Kroger coupons too.

I went to CVS today to get my deals and the store manager told me the limit was actually 5. I said, wow, the ad says 1 and she said there was a mix up somewhere. Then I overheard her telling an employee their store materials said limit 5 and the ad said 1 so she called corporate to ask and they said the limit is 5 EVERY WHERE!
YAY!!!!
I did one and will be going back to do more this week!

Did you call the store or 800#?

The cashier at my store wasn't sure and I could tell she didn't want to say one way or another and then be wrong.

[Ms.Grumpy]

Thanks for sharing. I am heaading out the door to CVS and hope that my store has gotten the same information. Here's crossinf my fingers.
