They weren't tagged as being included in my store. A few people have mentioned using the women’s Quattro’s on the deal, but I’m not sure if anyone has attempted this?

I have a question. Tonight I bought two of the Contour Meter/Colgate deals using a (2) Contour meter coupon(s) for the price of the meter (19.99), and two 1.50 off Colgate coupons with my 2 off CVS ones. I was tickled to get 10 ECB's back for @ 2.90 oop for tax. It paid for my milk and a few other things. BUT, I noticed that the meters both come with mail in rebates for the price of the meter. Hmmm. Would they still honor rebates for the price of the meters when I used coupons on them? Appreciate all you do to help us newbies! I have a question.

I went into my regular CVS today to get 3 Puff's, 2 shave gels, 2 Buddie's soaps and a couple of other things. The cashier would only take 1 for the Puff's and 1 for the shave gels but both for the soaps. She had a misunderstanding of the wording "limit one coupon per purchase". I didn't have the energy to discuss the issue after dealing with the pharmacy (a whole different LONG story). I emailed customer service to explain the pharmacy problem and the coupon issue and asked for a clear coupon policy since one isn't posted on their website. It's a little aggravating though because I did another transaction for 2 neosporin's in the pharmacy when I finally got my sons RX and used 2 $1 coupons and had no problem...weird! I have never had a problem with CVS and coupons! We'll see what customer service has to say:) I had the same problem someone mentioned above.

I bought 4. Used $2/10 coupon, and the 4-$.75 coupons and after the BOGO, the total was $1.06 OOP for 4 canisters of Wet Ones. I plan on going back to see if they have more canisters with the coupon, and if not, use the ones I have from the papers too. The Wet Ones at my CVS all had $.75 coupons on them. I bought 4.

I went in this morning and used the listed deal for the J&J ECBs. Here is what I tried to buy: 2 Hello Kitty Bandaids @ 2.99 use 2 .50 cent coupons 1 Ultra Srip Bandaids @ 4.49 use $1 off coupon 2 Crest toothpaste @ 1.99 each use $1 off coupon 1 Tylenol @ 7.49 I was told that I could only use 2 same brand name coupons, so I could only use 2 of the band aid coupons. I asked if it was a store or corporate policy. I was told that a memo had just come from corporate because of people taking advantage of coupons. I called the corporate office @ 800-746-7287 and was told that the corporate policy is 1 manufacturer coupon per item. I asked where I could find a copy of the written coupon policy (I looked online and it was not there). I was told that there wasn't one listed online and that since she was telling me that was the corporate coupon policy I had to take her word. At the moment I am not a very happy CVS customer. I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this and if anyone has their actual coupon policy. Thanks! I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the CVS coupon policy.

I saw it on the counter near the entrance, for sale for 99 cents. Somehow I was under the impression that it would be free and I wonder if it's worth purchasing. Do you all find that it is? I get OK deals as it is, though I must say that often I don't have the deals at my store that you all mention.
