Grabbed 10 packs, used 10 $1 coupons from the machine at the display, plus (2) $4/20 CVS coupons from the pharmacy's coupon book (ask for it when you get your Rx filled there this month!), $8 in ECB's from the school supplies I bought moments before-and in 3 transactions, got $200 worth for $59. This store also had Carnation Instant Breakfast 75% off, so I bought all they had at 1.74 ea (reg. 5.99), used more CVS coupons & ECB's, and scored 8 boxes for $7. Yes, that's ALOT of Boost & Instant Breakfast, but the Pediasure and similar products his medical condition requires are very expensive, so I'm very grateful for this find today!

I always get raincheckseven on the 3 day sale and you will still get your ECB when you redeem them! On another note, I was wondering about overage. I have purchased items already this week and I am used to being over a little sometimes with the coupon vs the actualy total. However, I just got my hands on the Breeze2 $30 coupon that is on sale for $19.99. Will you actually get the overage or do they adjust it? I need to buy diapers this week too, so that would be great!

She also said that she would contact the district manager to clear it up with the store manager since they sort of gave me a hard time about it and no one seems to know or understand the real policy.

Or where I might find it online somewhere. When I was there Sunday evening and asked, they said they weren't supposed to write them for the 3-day sales, but HELLO? If they're out of the item on sale, isn't that the point of a raincheck?? She did it for me anyway - she said "for the little one" since I am 8 months pregnant. How about doing it because that's the purpose of a raincheck? I would love to print out their policy and bring it to them to show them that they should do rainchecks on limited time sales. Every sale is "limited time only." Does anyone know the official corporate policy on rainchecks at CVS? Or where I might find it online somewhere.

The cash register wouldn't take the third. Maybe if I had bought 2 boxes with 2 coupons in one transaction, then done another one with another coupon to get my $5 ECB, it might have worked, but like the previous poster, there was a line and I didn't want to make a scene, and also I wasn't 100% sure that if I bought the three Kashi boxes in 2 transactions I would still get the ECB. As for Neutrogena, nothing at my store was marked on sale, and we couldn't find anything cheap. My daughter was actually wanting eye makeup so this would have been perfect, but she ended up buying some Maybelline stuff (not on sale) because it was what she wanted and the prices were reasonable.

You don't have make a "special" trip back to get it, just use it next time you're in the store. There is no expiration date. I used a raincheck item last week to boost my total to $30 so I could use a $5/30 coupon. That was helpful since some of the current week free items were out of stock.

One type of chewy bar worked, but another didn't. I bought the wrong one, then, because I had paid with ECBs, they refused to refund the purchase price or even trade. I just now realized that I was refunded the $.54 I paid OOP for the whole box, then they made me pay again for the right box in full to get the $5 ECB deal. I'm an idiot. I should just have bought the new box and saved the old one! I paid twice for one box! Think I'll call Customer service on that one. Plus, the swingline staplers were no where to be found, but the other brand was working $3.19 reg price rings up as $.99 with the ECBs. Just the wrong brand in the add. HTH.

But I also decided to pick up a lunch box cooler eventhough my son loses them regularly but they had really nice ones for $12 -13 (according to the price scanner) plus you got 3 ECBs back. Well when I was at checkout the lunch box rang up as $6 off or $7 total . . . minus the 3 ECBs I got a really nice lunchbox for only $4!

The manager, who is very helpful, said he just really has time to worry about the weeklong sales. So now I go to a more stocked CVS a few more miles away. They have everything. I don't shop on Sundays, so I usually go first thing on Mondays. Sometimes the deals are gone..but that's just the chance I take and I live with it. It's free, after all! And there are always other deals right around the corner. My local CVS actually still had the “until Tuesday” deals in the back room on MONDAY!
