CVS ~ Question: cvs---question about overage or MoneyMaker deals?

[ambabic]

So yesterday I went into CVS for the first time in a long time. I had my q's ready and I was armed.

I was using the $2 Revlon Q's because they expired yesterday. I found some really nice lip color and it was %75 off plus bogo.I was so excited because this made it $2.49 for both. In the past when I used Q's as long as I had fillers I could use both of the $2 q's but this time I was able to use one of the $2 Q andthen they adjusted the other down to $0.49. Is this a new thing. Not that it mattered I just thought that It would be a MM...I was spending money anyway so they would not have owed me anything.

I just do not remember it being like that in the past. Plus I thought that the manufacture was going to give the store the entire $2.

Sometimes I wonder about your question too. I have the occasional cashier who adjusts down (which is fine with me) but.....the store does get full credit for those coupons right??

If you get the products scanned BEFORE your card it should work because they will scan at the higher price. If you get your card scanned first, then they will ring up at the lower price and you coupons will be adjusted.

It's ymmv. Some cashiers will allow the overage..... some will adjust every single coupon down to the price of the product.

Technically, they are supposed to mark it down AND mark on the COUPON the amount that it was redeemed for. I have yet to see them write the amount on the coupon, but CVS is REALLY good to me, so I just work around this snaffoo.

Totally ymmv. Literally different approach with every store, and every single clerk in the store. If you go often enough, you will soon learn which clerk will do things in what manner.

The register will not allow overage on a manufacturer's coupon alone. It will prompt the cashier what price to enter the coupon for. However if you have a manufacturer's coupon and a CVS coupon, you will get overage.
