CVS printables at Publix

[Macaela25]

OK, slap me and call me stupid if everyone else knew this....

I called my Publix today and asked since they took CVS coupons in the pharmacy, would they take them at register for general merchandise? She said yes. I explained that they were printables and $/$, and she again said, yes, they are happy to take them.

WOOHOOO!!!

Wow, cool for you! I'm definitely jealous. The stores around here don't consider CVS a competitor except for prescriptions. Goes to show it never hurts to ask.

DH is laughing over how excited I am. There are so many freebie fillers that I have been saving up to boost my totals for $/$, and I can never seem to get my hands on $/$'s when I need them...now they're just a click away (most of the time). Again, WOOHOO!!

What?!

You have to tell me which Publix said that. I would love to use a $/$$ coupon on groceries and they are few and far between.

Pennywatcher - Aren't you near Duluth?

The Publix on Peachtree Industrial and N. Berkeley Lake Road, the one on Buford Highway and Old Peachtree and the one off L'ville Suwannee will take CVS coupons as competitor coupons. Not sure about the printables, but they took the diabetes book coupons without hesitation.

I'm in Winter Haven - the Publix on Cypress Gardens Blvd, right across from Cypress Gardens. This is my main Publix, (they know me and we're all comfortable with my couponing!), so I doubt I'll branch out and call other locations. It won't hurt to call the Publix' in your area and ask though. My cashier made the comment tonight that they take anyone's coupons except Target's (the nearest Target is over 30 minutes away).

Ohhh thanks! I'm going to have to try using some at the L'ville Swne location (well as soon as I find some diabetes booklets!). Do you know if they take Walgreens or Rite Aid coupons too?

The L'ville Swne location is the one that inspects every coupon. So, don't expect overage of any type. Other than overage issues, I haven't had any problems with them though.

I've only tried CVS at this location. I don't know if they accept WAGs. The Old Peachtree Buford Hwy location DOES accept WAGs though.

You could always call them up. There is a Walgreens about a block away (closer than any CVS) so they probably do.

Thanks!

I've been going in the opposite direction and shopping at the fancy new Publix in Davenport. If I can use $/$$ CVS coupons, I'll drive in the other direction.

I doubt mine would take CVS coupons. Though I've never tried. They would have a long time ago until they made the "grocery store coupons only" rule. Man, I was cleaning them out on diapers using Eckerd coupons. I still think it was due to me that they made the change!
