they either print on the bottom of your receipt, come from the coupon scanner/price scanner, or in an email.

sometimes new stores put them in the newspaper, but that is rare.

your best bet is to fill out the paper that prints on your receipt and hand it back to the cashier. ( it should print about 5 to 6 weeks after you start using the card.)

I need to ask a question. I went to my CVS today at lunch for the following deal on the Oral B toothbrushes. My cashier was perplexed about the coupons so she consulted another employee (an assistant manager I think). In the end, I got my toothbrushes for just the tax oop b/c I used extra bucks. My concern is that the employee who made the transaction work told the cashier to bundle the coupons together for the manager to review b/c what they just did was grounds for dismissal. Did I do something wrong? The employees at this particular store always make comments about the fact that I use coupons for my purchases. I am starting to seriously feel harassed.

2 Free Oral B toothbrush
Oral B Advantage Toothbrush 1ct $2.99 Get $2 ECB Limit 1
Buy 2 for $5.98
MQ:BOGO P&G 3/7
$1/1 P&G 2/7 or 2/21
ECB:$2
Math:$5.98-$2.99-$1-$2

I'll say they've changed! I used to shop just like Howesmath said, and I could figure it out to the penny.

I have no idea how CVS is configuring their tax now....

Hello everyone, I am new here and have been couponing since last year about July and this scenario doesn't work in my neck of the woods of South Texas. It is $/$$ first then CVS Q's, ManQ's and then ECB's the manager won't let it go either way. This is a very confuisng subject for sure.

I don't choose candy for fillers, I choose pantry items like a can of soup or something I can use to make a meal from the pantry. I did the candy thing at first and realized that it doesn't cost much more to throw in a can of soup instead.
