cvs - Kashi TLC Honey Almond Flax didn't ring $3/$10 or produce ECBs

irishgirl, I'd call 1-800-shopCVS, because the ad says otherwise.

The Honey Almond Flax was not marked for ECBs at my store. Wheat Cereal, Honey O's, Go Lean Crunch, and Trail Mix Bars (I hated these!) were the only ones included.

Now I'm the opposite. I'm not crazy about the honey almond flax but I love the trail mix bars. I was so looking forward to this one. They didn't have the tags up for the Kashi deal and I lucked out and was able to do it this morning. I have a 24 hr CVS and most items are out by the time I can get down there on Sunday. Somebody at the store said that they often run out of hot items by 3 in the morning. $.50 for 3 boxes can't be beat unless it's free.

I made the same mistake too. Went back today and returned the Honey Almond Flax and bought the Trail Mix (hope I like it).

Luckily I brought a 1.50/1 coupon with me this time to make the deal sweeter.

I also e-mailed corp to see if they could fix this. Hopefully they will and I can get the Honey bars on another card.

Yesterday, all my store had was 2 boxes of Honey Almond Flax. There wasn't a hang tag on them, so I scanned them. They scanned at 3 /$10, so I got them and a box of Smart Start Cereal. They all rang up at 3/$10 and printed the $5 ECB.

I did call, and the guy that I spoke to was an absolute jerk (which shocked me because they're usually so nice). He said that several people had called, and that those bars just plain aren't included. I pointed out that the ad didn't exclude them and that they are the TLC 6 count bars, and that I thought it was false advertising, but he refused to budge. Of course I was at home already before I realized that I hadn't gotten my ECB's, and that I had been charged wrong (I should have noticed that the total was higher than it should have been, but this whole tax thing is screwing up my mental totals). So yesterday I stopped in to a CVS right by work and grabbed a box of the crackers to complete the deal. Unfortunately I didn't have the bars with me then to return, but they're in the car with my receipt now so they'll go back when I shop tomorrow.
