We didnt get the $4 nivea coupons here in Ohio =[ Im sad about it because they cost way too much to buy on ebay too!! =( Oh well…
@Brittany, I was so bummed too when we didn’t get the $4/1 Q……I’m in central OH. I’m hoping my mom in PA got it.
@Brittany, In the Dayton area, we got them.
@Brittany,
( I didn’t get it either!! I wish I had read your post before searching for it over and over again!! I thought I was going crazy! Every one is talking about the 4$/1 coupon. We should protest! LOL
When I scanned my CVS card at the red machine yesterday a CVS coupon for $2.00 off 2 body washes printed which I was able to stack with my coupons.
How long do you have to wait between scans at the red machine? I tried a 2nd scan after the screen cleared, but it sain my coupons had all printed. Anyway… I still had a $5ECB from my Pampers deal last week, and I had to make an emergency t.p. run, so here’s what I did:
1 Nivea touch of happiness (sparkly wasn’t marked on sale)
1 Nivea touch of bliss
2 Nivea Hydrating lip
1 Dawn antibacterial
-2 $4/1 nivea body wash
-2 $1/1 Nivea lip
-1 $.20/1 dawn
-$5 ECB
Total oop $1.61 ($5 ECB back)
Then…
2 bags Sunchips (weren’t marked either, but were on sale 2/$5)
1 4pk scott 1000
-$1/2 Sunchips
-$5 ECB
Total oop $3.49
Dawn Hand Renewal is also 99 cents at Rite Aid this week, so free with coupon!
@Christy, Dawn Hand Renewal is not on sale at my CVS, just the regular “ultra” Dawn.
The CVS cashier today wouldn’t let me use the the $ off Nivea coupons with the BOGO Nivea coupons….even though I had 4 items and 4 coupons…anyone else had this happen? Oh well, I got the CVS coupon so it was only $3 OOP -still a good deal!
@Caroline, In my experience, cashiers and managers will not allow the use of a coupon on an item you are getting free with another coupon.
@Caroline,
I have been reading that CVS has changed the policy or that it is related to how the coupon is coded.. I have definitely in the past use B1g1 and dollar off coupon at CVS in the past.
I didn’t try it with this deal
@Caroline, I had the same problem today. The cashier wouldn’t use the BOGO with the $4 coupon. I told her I have done it in the past and she said I don’t know of any cashier that would do that, so I just used the BOGO.
we didn’t get the $4 nivea coupon, only $1. bummer!
In Indiana, I didn’t even have a RedPlum insert … just Smart Source and P&G. Darn!
@Christy, Hi Christy, I’m in IN too (Indianapolis) and just this week I started getting the Red Plum in my mailbox rather than the Sunday paper. We might be a new test market – keep your eyes open!
Has anyone had trouble with the $1/1 coupons when using them toward products that are $.99? I tried to buy reach dental floss the other day at Walgreens and use $1/1 coupon and the cashier wouldn’t let me use it.
I got lucky and got the $4 coupon. The machine at CVS was broke though, so no scanning for me. Still, I got the Dawn Renewal for free, and 2 Nivea body wash and 2 lip balm for $4 oop with tax and got my $5 ecb. The body wash smells so good, I can’t wait to try it. Great trip to CVS!
I had the same issue today with CVS about the Nivea deal. She said her district manager does not allow the BOGO coupon and the $4 off coupon, that the two body washes are part of the same BOGO coupon and you would have to purchase another one to use the $4. After I asked for a clearer explanation she called someone else over and in a huff she said she would do it this time but not again. The manufacturer is repaying CVS so I don’t understand the problem. I’m going to call CVS and get the facts on their policy.
@Wendy, I don’t understand why they would allow the use of both coupons. A BOGO covers two items.
I had the same problem last week at CVS with the tasters choice coupon he said the BOGO coupon counted for both items so I didn’t use any…. I went this week and one of my two favorite young male cashiers was there, the younger ones are always so nice and helpful
I called CVS corporate and she said that each store has its own individual policies and that there is no “official” coupon policy! AAAGGGHH!!
I told that Rite Aid has an official policy and so do most other companies and that I don’t want to hassle anyone or do something that is against their policy. She said she wishes there was one official policy too!
@Wendy,
I think that we, the consumers, should have the right to know the coupon policy of the store that we shop at!! It seems to me that the “policy” is up to the person checking you out!! I make all of my trips to the same store, but the coupons that I can use depends on which cashier checks me out!! If every store has their own policy, shouldn’t I be able to go to my CVS and not be worried if I’m going to be hassled about my coupons!!
I was told at a store that I couldn’t use 2 manufactures coupons on an item, so even if one was a buy one get one, I couldn’t use a $off coupon on the item I was buying, even if I was paying for that one. I see listed a lot on here in deal situations, like this one, use the buy one get one free and than use the $4 off coupon, do some stores allow this? Or some states? Just need a little clarity here.
I think they must be changing their policy or questioning it because it seems to me like there is a lack of communication!! Sometimes I have no problem at all with my coupons, but other times it is such a hassle!! I agree that we, the consumers, need to know their policy so that we can plan our trips to the store!! We don’t want to “get one over” on CVS, we just want the best deal they have to offer!!
Publix has Nivea body wash 16.9 oz on sale for $3.89. Combine it with the $4 Nivea manufacture coupons in last week’s Sunday paper- and it’s free. I bought 5 bottles with 5 coupons and they were all free.
Today, I tried using the $1/1 dawn and CVS wouldn’t allow it. The manager came over and said that since the product is only $.97, they wouldn’t accept it. She told me that they couldn’t “adjust it down.” Bummer… I am going to try to get a copy of their policy. I see that some others are having the same issues. I wonder if they are tightening their rules.
