FAQ: CVS Frequently Asked Questions

[ecb]

i love my CVS store in Davidson, NC. However they are under the impression that in order to use the $5 off $20 it has to be the total amt. once all coupons are used. not sure what to do about this. i had the same problem elsewhere but they were not nice anyways. they thought i was trying to pull a fast one on them. want to keep shopping at CVS...

Can a manager make a decision to not take coupons on clearance? I see in the first page that they do take them and I know that.

I went round and round today trying to explain how to enter them and I was told they won't get paid and they aren't doing it.

Bengay patches were marked down to $2, I had $2 coupons and they wouldn't let me use them so I just voided them off.

I have a question I didn't see in this thread, apologies if it's been answered elsewhere.

If there's an ECB deal like "Buy $20 worth of Neutrogena get $5 ECBs", would clearanced items count toward that $20? Does it make a difference if all items or only some of them are clearance?

[pilesoflaundry]

If they are marked with a black mark through the upc and entered as taxable at the register no they will not. If they are just marked down but scan as xyz item and a discount at the register, yes they will.

Taking coupons off clearance items is my favorite thing to do at CVS. I like getting a $9 eyeliner for 23¢.

I did a search and couldn't find the answer to my question, so please forgive me if this is a repeat. I used to get $x/$xx crt's all of the time and then they just stopped. I've linked my card up to the website and get random emails about deals they have online, but I haven't received any $x/$xx email coupons, except for some holidays. What am I missing - anything else I need to do? My weekly oop used to be so much less with these!

I am very new to couponing and have found alot of useful info on this site! ( Thanks!!) But, I have been looking on the forums to an answer to this question. How do you use a BOGO coupon on an item that is already BOGO? How does is ring up/price out?

I didn't see the answer to this anywhere. Hope this is the right place to post. Can I use a Buy One Get One Free coupon on an item that is on sale for Buy One Get One Free? For example, my CVS has Purex laundry detergent on sale Buy One Get One Free and I also have a manufacturer's coupon for Purex Buy One Get One Free. Would both items be free?

I was able to get 6 bottles of Purex FREE w/ a BOGO sale + BOGO q a couple of weeks ago - it may be a YMMV thing though.... all you can do is ask, and if you get the "wrong" answer, ask to dbl ck w/ the mgr, saying," a friend of mine did this....."

I didn't realize there were more BOGO Purex cpns out there - mine exp 3/4/10.... I would LOVE to get more of my favorite deterg for free!!!
