I just received an email from CVS for a coupon to save $10.00 on a purchase of food items

My husband already has his scenario figured out -- he wants to use the coupons for the FREE Digiorno pizza which would make this $3.00 to go towards other purchases

What would you use it on??
Let me know if you received this coupon or a different one by posting a comment below

Dear name here,

Thank you for taking your time to contact our Corporate Offices. We
appreciate hearing from our customers and value all comments received.

1. Can I use one IVC and one manufacturers coupon peritem? YES

2. How does it work if the face value of a coupon or coupons (IVC and
manufacturers) is greater than the price of the item? THE ITEM WOULD BE
FREE, NO CASH VALUE

3. I noticed that almost ALL of the IVC coupons now state that they cannot
be used in conjunction with any other offer. Does other offer refer to
manufacturer coupons, sale items, or something else? IVC AND OTHER COUPONS
MAY BE APPLIED TO THE SAME ITEM

4. BOGO Questions; Examples:
Q: If you have Rimmel cosmetics on sale for Buy 1 Get 1 Free, the
price is
4.99 for 1 or if I buy 2 I get the discount and they ring up as 2.49
and 2.50.
Can I use 2 manufacturer coupons? One coupon for each one Im
purchasing since I
have to buy 2 to get the discount? Such as 2 coupons that are 1 off each?
A: Buy one get one free - one item will be rung up free. You can use 2 MFR
coupons on the product you are paying for because the # of coupons cannot
exceed the # of items scanned.
Q: What about If you are having a store promotion for Buy 1 Get 1
Free and I
have a manufacturers coupon for Buy 1 Get 1 Free Do I get both Items
Free and
just pay the sales tax?
A: Yes.

7. I understand that managers are allowed to limit the number of items
purchased even if there is no limit stated in the weekly flyer. However, is
there any minimum acceptable number? For example, I actually had a manager
tell me that customers were only allowed to purchase 1 of the Garnier
Fructis (on sale for 1 this week)!!! That just seems like a ridiculously
low number, and a person couldnt even purchase a shampoo AND conditioner
without leaving the store and coming back at a later time.
THERE IS NO SET LIMIT BYU CORPORATE UNLESS STATED ON THE COUPON. MANAGAMENT
HAS THE DISCRETION TO LIMIT ANY AD ITEM.

8. When a coupon states one per purchase, does that mean one coupon per
item,
or one per transaction? ONE PER ITEM PURCHASED

9. Can I use more than one Register Rewards in a transaction?
# OF COUPONS CAN NOT EXCEED # OF ITEMS

10. Can I use Register Rewards in a transaction that will print out other
(different product) Register Rewards? THIS DEPENDS ON THE TRANSACTION. IF
THE SAME $ AMOUNT R.R. IS USED FROM THE SAME MFCTR IT WILL NOT PRINT

11. Is there anywhere in Walgreens stores where we can call Walgreens
customer service number if we feel as though policies are not being
followed correctly? And is there a customer service number that we can call
after hours for the stores that are open 24 hours? YOU MAY CALL
800-925-4733 DURING BUSINESS HOURS. WE ARE IN TRANSITION OF OPENING 24-7.

Again, thank you for contacting our corporate office. We truly appreciate
you taking the time to share your comments.



Sincerely,


April S.
Supervisor, Consumer Relations

We took our girls out Friday night to an AMF Bowling alley in Leesburg Florida. It had a very nice family oriented atmosphere. From 10:00 pm - 12 pm it was only $1.00 per game. They had lots of fun!! I don't think you can combine this coupon with their 10-12pm special but I guess you could always check :o)

CVS Possible Deals

I say possible deals because each area has different pricing and discounts -- so price check if you are unsure if it is clearanced at your store.  It is not always marked so always good to scan it which you can do on the little red magic machine

 Pantene clearanced at my store for $2.50
Use the $2/1 coupon from the 6/27 Parade magazine (Sunday paper)
Plus, use the $2/1 CVS coupon printing from the red magic coupon machine -- this printed for me last week

Final cost FREE + $1.50 in coupon overage to go towards other items if your store allows overage.  They will not give you cash back, but it will apply to other items in your cart -- or your store might value the coupon down so that you just get the item free.  This did not work on the register reward deal they had going -- but actually comes out better!!

If you do not have the CVS coupon it would cost you $0.50– which is a great deal on Pantene.




Milky Way Simply Caramel Bars $0.50
Use the $0.50/1 candy Bar CVS coupon printing from the red magic coupon machine -
I have not personally gotten this one, but some of my friends have
Final cost FREE!

Bausch & Lomb Biotrue Multi-Purpose Solution 2 oz. on sale $2.99 = get $2.99 back in ECB (Extra Care Bucks)
The limit on this is 2 -- so stock up -- makes a great donation or gift basket item
Final Cost FREE!
 

CVS

I have shopped at several different CVS stores and for the most part they are AWESOME. Coupon friendly. However, unfortunately the one closest to me in my town is not coupon friendly. Their excuse is that people have come in there with fake coupons and the store had to pay for it. I am totally against taking advantage of the store and if you think about it -- it is not in your best interest to steal from the store which is what you are doing if you are using fraudulent coupons.  In the long run it will only hurt you because the stores will not want to accept coupons anymore which is understandable.

Anyhow back to my trip to CVS this past week.  We got a save $10.00 on a $50.00 order out of the magic print machine, so we began our treasure hunt through the store.

When we got to the cash register the cashier started giving us grief over every coupon we were using.  First off I did not notice the limit 8 in the small print on the ad for the M&M's and she made us put some of those back.  No biggie -- didn't really NEED them in the first place -- just wanted them.

Then she was refusing to take a CVS printable out of the machine for $2.00 off Tums and I also had a manufacturers coupon for $1.00 off Tums.  She told me I could use 1 or the other but not both.  I very nicely (which I really do feel is essential for us to remain nice) explained to her that their coupon policy online specifically stated that you could use 1 CVS coupon and 1 manufacturers coupon. 

She then tried to tell me they were both manufacturers coupons.  I explained to her the one that printed out of their machine specifically stated on it that it was a CVS coupon.

She was exasperated by me at this point -- shaking her head and rolling her eyes.  I really was trying to be nice and did not want to upset her.

She grabbed the coupons -- informed me it would not work and very emphatically swiped it under the scanner to show me it was going to beep.  It didn't beep.  This seemed to annoy her all the more.

Then we got to the BOGO items.  She refused to take a BOGO on a pair of items.  She said I had to purchase 4 and could only use 1 coupon (Basically she was saying I had to pay for 2 and would get 2 free -- 1 from the coupon 1 from their sale.

I gave up.  I told her to cancel my entire order that I didn't want to sit there and fuss over coupons.

I did come home and write corporate though because I wanted to know if their coupon policy had changed.

Thankfully it has not --  CVS has a great coupon policy -- their employees just need some serious training.

It is frustrating to go in and spend an hour getting your order together and walk out of the store without it.  My local store is less than 6 miles from me.  I drive 14 miles to another store because they know their coupon policy and their employees are trained well.

Here is the letter I received back from Corporate -- feel free to copy it and take it with you when you shop at the local Inverness store.


CVS/pharmacy®
Dear Ms. Tammy,

Thank you for your e-mail regarding the Inverness , FL CVS/pharmacy location.  I am able to help you with this matter.

Please accept my apology for the coupon issues.  Our registers are set to allow 1 CVS coupon and 1 manufacturer coupon per item.  In a situation where there is a BOGO sale and the customer has BOGO coupons, they would be accepted and the customer would only pay sales tax if applicable. We do not give cash for coupons, so if the coupon had a higher dollar off value than the price of the product, the amount of the coupon would be adjusted.

I have contacted the District Manager, Steve Gaskins, and made him aware of your comments.  He will address your concerns with the Store Manager and staff to correct this from recurring.  If you would like to speak with him directly, please provide me with your phone number and I will ask that he call you. I hope that you will give CVS/pharmacy another chance to prove that we are dedicated to customer service.

I would like to ensure that you are completely satisfied regarding this situation, and I appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.  If I can be of further assistance, please reply to this e-mail.

Sincerely,

Jessie
