Therefore i can use 1 every day if i have a script to transfer. Am i correct on this or not. I talked to sm and pm and they both interpeted this the same. Asking u first irishlass cause i dont need any infractions ! Thanks cvsman

I am not Irishlass.....but according to the wording...should allow you to get more than one, as long as you do not try to purchase them all at one time.
Now there maybe a limit of 1 per family member...not sure on that one.

Usually a person will push it through but I could tell he wasnt gonna budge.

never heard of a coupon being invalid because of different dates. It shoul dhave worked in my opinion.

What did i do wrong?

These usually print out after you have paid for your transaction and just bwcause you had coupons, shouldn't have stopped the RR. Are you sure you had the right size for the RR? You didnt do anything wrong that I can tell. Next time ask for your manager and asked him to rering it up for you.

Ohio is almost the same as FL. You will pay tax at CVS on the manufacturer coupons, but ECBs reduce the taxable amount and so do CRTs and CVS coupons and if you hand those over in the right order you can get $0 oop.

Walgreens coupons are read as mqs even if they are from the ESR book therefore the tax stays. I'm not totally sure about the in-ad coupon, but those may reduce the taxable amount since it's a price adjustment, if used before subtotal is hit, but I'm not sure on that.

I have only shopped at Walgreens once because we just finally got some in my area. Anyways, I want to go there this week because of the Ben and Jerry's and the Garnier. Here is my question, if I want to get, lets say 4 Garnier products do I need to have 4 seperate coupons from the EasySaver Book? I thought I saw somewhere on here where someone said that if the Easy Saver coupon is scanned once it will apply for all of the qualifying items you purchase. I just want to verify this and find out the correct way to do things so i don't look foolish when I go there.

You only need 1 easysaver coupon (or 7-day coupon out of the flyer) and the Wags register will take off the correct amount.

I haven't found a difference with the way I hand over my coupons. I do, however, hand over my Walgreens coupons LAST. I've tried it like CVS and hand over my RR first (like ECBs), but it doesn't make one bit of difference in what I pay here in FL.

Not sure if they will let you have that many all at once or if they have a restriction on how many scripts per family member...might want to check on that. I do know there are restrictions on these. Certain types of Insurance you do not qualify to get the gift cards.

I am in FL and can answer this question...

CVS ECB are considered store coupons and any store coupon will take off the tax on that amount. However, we have to pay tax on manuf coupon amounts. If you are buying something that is nontaxable along with the taxable item, the register will take off the tax on the taxable item first when paying with part of a ECB.

Here are examples that may help you understand:

At Wags... you buy an item for $2.50 and use a $2.50 coupon... you will pay tax on $2.50

At CVS... if the only thing you are buying is a taxable $2.50 item and paying with a $1 coupon and a $1.50 ECB you will pay tax on the $1. If you are buying a taxable $2.50 item with just a $2.50 ECB you won't pay anything. If you are buying a $2.50 taxable item and a $2.00 non-taxable item (like food or medical) and using a $1 coupon on the taxable item and paying with a $3.50 ECB, the ECB will take off the tax on $3.50 of your purchase so now all that is left is the non-taxable item so you don't pay anything.

Its kind of confusing and it took me a year to figure it all out.

Like if I bought just the garnier with $1 coupon and $1.99 ECB at CVS this week, I would pay 7 cents tax. BUT if I added the soy joys with it (or any medicine or other food item), and used a $1 coupon on the garnier and a $7.99 ECB, I would not pay any tax because the soy joys are non-taxable.

I think you have just answered the same question I have had in AZ. I even asked at Walgreens and they had no clue why it would be happening. Thanks for the info.
