CVS Coupon Policy

I recently had an issue with a coupon I was try to use. Maybe I should have pushed for them to call the manager but I didn't. Instead I emailed CVS and requested their coupon policy. Here is the email they sent me.

* If you would like a copy of the email please email me or leave me a comment.

Dear XXXXXXXX,

Thank you for taking the time to contact CVS/pharmacy with your inquiry. I’ve provided our coupon policies.

CVS/pharmacy will accept coupons printed from the Internet. They must have a legible barcode that scans at the register. If the coupon does not scan at the register, the cashier should politely inform you that we are unable to accept your coupon. We do not allow manual overrides at the register for coupons printed from the Internet.

Our registers are set to allow 1 CVS coupon and 1 manufacturer coupon per item. However, the staff should be allowing customers to use Extra Bucks in combination with other CVS coupons since these are coupons you have “earned.” In addition, similarly they should be allowing the use of “offer at the register” coupons which would be an open offer of $3 off of $15 or a certain dollar amount off of a specific item. Since our registers are programmed to only accept 2 coupons (1 CVS, 1 manufacturer) per item if the number of coupons exceed the items purchased a member of management will need to assist the cashier in processing the coupons. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

You can use coupons towards a clearance item but the coupon will be adjusted if it is more than the price of the item, therefore the balance of the coupon would be forfeited. The BOGO coupon allows you to purchase 2 items and get them both for free. With the manufacturer’s coupons you can combine one with one CVS coupon. You will be responsible for any tax due.

If we can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for taking the time to contact CVS/pharmacy.

Where do you keep your coupons?

I bought a regular binder and added the trading card pages. I find finding each coupon to be easier as they each have their own slot and I have them categorized (bread, breakfast, cleaning, etc) compared to my old way of keeping them all piled in an accordion coupon folder.

Welcome

Welcome! I decided to start this blog to share my finds/deals and savings.I'm not an expert just someone who is trying to stretch the pennies, especially with the price of everything going up. I have heard of those women out there who buy $100-200 dollars in groceries and walk out only paying $5-20. My goal is to be able to do that one day. Those who know me know that I don't like paying full price. Hehehe!

So welcome, follow me along as we save and if you have tips or deals/savings you would like to share please feel free to leave a comment or email me. :)
